How Nutrition Changed My Life
Nutrition was never a route I intended to take. Roughly six months ago, my life went through a whirlpool; I had no clue what I yearned to do & I was in utter turmoil. I previously desired to become a pediatrician, but that firely passion burned out. One day I came across a youtube video of Lisa Lorles, a vegan youtuber. In her video she explained that she was studying nutrition in college and that veganism inspired her to do so. At that very moment something clicked in my mind, I felt butterflies in stomach and a sense of warmth from a fire in my heart. From that day and on I knew that nutrition was my passion and no one was going to stop me. In the back of my mind I always knew that I had a zeal for nutrition.

At the age of fourteen I became a vegetarian and at seventeen, I transition to a plant based vegan. I believe that the opposition that was detaining me was myself. I was told from a young age that the route to take was a doctor and nothing else, and I must say I believed this until six months ago. What detached me from this mindset was that at the end of the day my happiness comes first above all & for once it was a-okay to be selfish. At this point in my life my career goals are to attain my bachelors degree in Nutritional Sciences, attain an internship, and pass the credential exam; with my long term goal being to earn my masters in Nutritional Sciences. To conclude, my short and long term educational goals are to success as I did this past semester. I earned straight A and accomplished my goal of a 4.5 GPA; studying does pay off in the long
