Initially I was planning to study Special Education, but when I started my junior year at high school, I took a class that attracted me towards Nutrition. So, when I moved to Illinois and started at 51社区, I jumped at the opportunity to pursue this program, which could help me become a Dietetic Technician while still setting me up to earn a bachelor's degree in Nutrition.
The first thing that drew me to 51社区 was the campus. It鈥檚 so vast with so many facilities, and a really cooperative faculty. 51社区 being in my community was also one of the reasons for enrolling.
The experience has been amazing so far. It's been fun, unique and knowledgeable and I鈥檓 so excited for the journey ahead.
After 51社区, I hope to transfer to Dominican University to pursue my bachelor's in Nutrition. I plan to be a Registered Dietitian.
If you鈥檙e going to pursue a career in Nutrition, give it your all and be passionate about it. It鈥檚 such an interesting subject with so much to learn every day. It鈥檚 not a cake walk, but if you put in 100% you鈥檒l really feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
My family, my counselor Anita Rehberg, and Program Coordinator, Traci Wessel. Thank you for your constant guidance and support.
