People have many passions in their lives. Having something to be passionate about is important; it keeps people positive and looking towards the future. One of my passions is nutrition. This is why I chose the career path that I did. I am passionate about helping people reach their ideal weights and that they eat properly. At work I am usually trying to help residents gain weight, but at home, I am trying to help my parents lose weight and eat healthier. I am so passionate about this because health is extremely important. It is not something for people to take lightly; however, in this society with copious amounts of food along with the lack of exercise, it is difficult for many people to become motivated. Unfortunately, lack of motivation is difficult to overcome and makes it unlikely for people to make better choices about their health. It is my goal to educate my family and the people I work with about the importance of health and also the consequences that will result if improvements are not made. I want to be a positive impact in the lives of those I encounter and I also want to empower people to make good choices.
