what did this experience teach me?
All of my experiences have taught me different things that I can use in order to be a Dietitian that will change many peoples lives. As a 2nd grade teacher, one of the requirements that you needed to be successful was patience. There have also been other opportunities that have been great for me as well. I have been able to learn other values that will definitely needed to be a great Dietitian such as empathy, hard-work, effective communication skills, and how to navigate my way in a hospital setting.
How will i take my experiences into my career as a dietitian?
Working in places like the school system, hospitals, and with populations that are in food deserts are not easy places to work. However, those experiences can really benefit you as a professional. I now understand that there are others that do have money to afford expensive foods or from different cultures that deserve specialized care based on their cultural backgrounds. My experiences allow me to recognize how to identify ways to properly communicate with people that are going through hard times and how to effectively create meal plans that can people despite their socioeconomic status.
