After meeting with my academic advisor and one of the dietitians from China, I learned a lot of strategies to achieve my goal. In other word, I affirmed my goals after my meeting with them. They provides some information and advice for me, those helped me a lot. I think I already know what I want for my future.

In conclusion, to achieve my goal I still need to pay more attention and make a specific plan to finish all things I need to achieve my goal. It is a long process to achieve my goal. I have to adjust my mental attitude and meet some people for advice and get information. Although it is not easy for me to achieve my goal, I will try my best to do it.
