Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
For this assignment, I’d like you to write a narrative essay, in which you tell a similar story about your own experience: what led you to pursue your major? It would probably be best if you centered your narrative on a single significant event or experience that first revealed to you the joy, possibility, or challenge of pursuing the academic subject you enjoy most. Above all, your story should address the prompt; offer a clear focus, thesis, or theme; and contain a manageable plot appropriate for a 4-5 page assignment. You are, of course, required to use the first-person throughout—after all, this is your story!
My Story
To beging I when I first started jr college at 18 I was a photography major, I had huge plans of travel and working for national geographic. As i contunied on this path i relaized the classes were very structutred and I should just contunue photography as a hobby. You see I didnt like people telling me how to do my art. I later changed my major to nutrtion in hope of becoming a regisred diatitian after losing 60 pounds and finding comofort in healthy living. I was pursuing my degree in nutrition at jr college when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I decided to have him and take a break from school. After he was born I finished more units but now I had to work fulltime to support my son as a single mom. It become very hard to balance motherhood and class. So I took another break and focused on moving up in my career. BY the time i went back to school I finished a long 15 unit semester and then found out I was expecting another baby . I wanted to fully enjoy my time with my newborn so again I took a break from school. Fast
forward to April 2020 I find my self uneployed for the first time since I was 17 because of the pandemic. It was then I decided to go back to school. BY then I knew i only had a few credits left to transfer with my AA. I also made the huge decision to change my major from nutrition to public health. During a pandemic I felt that public health was in need of more health professionals. Still I thought public health was more about epidemiology than anything else. I found out that there is a concentration in community health education and my eyes lit up. See not only could I educate on nutrition to the communties that most need it but I could also educate on OVERALL health. Nutrtion is a huge aspect of ones health but it is important to look at other health behaviors to focus on having a healthy thriving life. Public health is at a turning point where is can gain the trust back from the people who think the government and public health is hear to harm them. It is not all about vaccines we care about mental health, health disparities, health inqualities , physical health, emotional. Body spirit and mind . COmmunity health inparticular is important because your surroudning can dictact how health you are.
