Recommended: Chapter 1 an overview of nutrition

Not only would I reasearch for my own personal use, but I would do it out of interest and curiosity. Eventually, through long talks with my mom, she gave me the idea of becoming a Nutritionist and eventually a Registered Dietitian. Originally
I was leading towards a clinical career in nutrition and food science because I always wanted to experience working in a hospital, but as of recently my heart has been leaning towards working in a school district. For the past five years I …show more content…

Those jobs are what helped me realize how much I enjoy the environment of working with kids and at a school. What I hope to gain academically from CBU is to expand my knowledge on nutrition and food science so I can use it towards planning healthy and tasty foods for schools. Not only do I hope to be able to plan the meals for schools, but I would love to be able to use my knowledge of nutrition and food science by educating students and their families of the importance of healthy eating. Through my life, but specifically during college, God became a bigger part of my life not only because of personal choice, but because of how I noticed a peace of mind I would have while facing academic struggles. I have experienced how faithful he is in times when I struggle to put him first. I am involved in a community group through a college ministry that is at my church, and I found that being around those friends is what encourages me to continue my relationship with God because of the constant encouragment and prayer they provide.Attending CBU would be rewarding in the fact that I will be around other students or professors who have similar spiritual beliefs as me which can be

    When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I

    The earliest glimpse of my future was at an elementary career day years ago. When I filled out what I was going to dress up as I wrote the word, “farmacist.” My mom was a pharmacist and I looked up to her and wanted to be just like her! So when career day rolled around I dressed in a white coat carrying a big bottle full of M&M’s to dispense to my classmates. Now so many years later here I am actually about to take on graduate school and follow in my mother’s footsteps to become a pharmacist. Of course my career path has been less than a straight line from “farmasist” to pharmacist. My passion and talent for math and science in high school allowed me to seriously consider a career in engineering. However, the more I considered engineering, the more there seemed to be something missing. As much as I loved solving problems I did not see

    My interest in nutrition stems from my parent’s careers, my mum works in weight management, and my dad works in catering. This meant my upbringing revolved around cooking and eating nutritious meals; I now realise how fortunate I have been, because as I’ve grown up I have become aware of the lack of education there is around healthy eating, causing a rise of fast food restaurants and convenience meals. It is concerning that many children in the UK are growing up believing these foods are good for them, and parents are often not aware of the potential impact a bad diet has on their children. This is why I would like to take a degree in nutrition; I want to educate children about nutrition, as if we begin teaching them from a young age, they’ll be more likely pursue a good diet into
