    My interest in nutrition began while in high school when I committed myself to improving my athletic performance in cross country running. Fortunately, I grew up in a family that understood the benefits of a balanced diet and was able to take away the importance that fruits and vegetables play in the body.

I’m highly motivated to better my home state in a field that both fascinates…

    While we were leaving Independence, we tried to get into a section that moving, but there was so many wagons and people that we didn't know where to go. We were stuck there for at least 4 hours just sitting in our wagons waiting to find a chance to go. Finally after it all died down a little bit, we got into a line and started to move. We were traveling towards the Kansas river and we thought it would be easy to pass but since there were so many people, it took forever. We had to pay 1 dollar for every wagon that crossed so we ended up paying around 6 dollars to cross. This was one of the longest river crosses I think I will ever encounter. It took around 6 hours and once we were all on the other side, we had to go to sleep and wait to continue until the sun rises. A week later we got to Alcove…

    His name was "Evan". I didn't know him all that well. We were both eleven years old and riding the school bus home at the end of the day. Suddenly he began to stare, his eyes glazing over and saliva curled at the edge of his mouth. I was witnessing someone have a seizure right in front of my eyes. It was the first time I had ever experienced something this serious in nature; someone's life was at risk. At that moment I noticed that everyone started to back away as if disgusted by the drool coming out of his mouth. I heard kids yelling for the bus driver's help, but she wouldn't do anything, or couldn't do anything for that matter. She just kept driving and said she couldn't help him at the moment.…
