“Love the life you live. Live the life you love” -Bob Marley
I love working with people and being able to help people; specifically, I have a heart for those living in poverty. My career goal is to become a dietitian, and within my career, I am leaning towards doing community nutrition and working with different low-income communities. I really care about people and that they get what they need in order to thrive in life. I like the whole aspect of how community dietitians try to cut the problem of getting adequate nutrition at its root and reach many people, rather than just helping one person. I want to help people, especially those in the world who are struggling with poverty. The fact that there is enough food in this world to feed everyone and that there are many people who go hungry every day is what I want to be involved in helping change in the world. Being a part of helping change the hunger that people feel is a goal of mine.
