Why an R.D.?
To be completely transparent, I have struggled with the decision of moving forward to become a dietitian. On the surface, simply the competition of the match rate scared me. Was I ready to invest the time, energy and finances into the application process only to be rejected? Was I willing to make the investment even if I became a stay at home mom? Do I have what it takes? These questions pledged me this summer. Yet something deep inside burned with, Yes, you do. You have what it takes. This may sound like a silly process to many. But for me, as a young married woman, I feel so responsible for where my time and money go, because it no long effects just me. I have deep desire to help people live life healthy and well. The obesity epidemic in our nation breaks my heart. I am afraid for the children who will bury their parents early because of health issue that could have been fixed by nutrition. My heart burns for parents who will out live their children. These are unnecessary sorrows. My hope is to intervene in as many of these situations as possible and help restore health and life to families and individuals.
