Part 2: Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right,

it has ended up not being right.“

~Mario Cuomo

I agree with Mario Cuomo because it is true, We all have probably felt like this maybe not now but we have or we will. I remember when I was small and I did a bad thing I felt great but then I was so cautious about my moves and the people. I couldn’t handle this confusion and weird feeling that I ended up confessing so I knew it was wrong and in the end it was not right. I know that many people can relate but some just don’t admit it.

Student Success Statement

“Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”

~M. L. King Jr.

I agree with Mr. King Jr. because it is true, intelligence plus character does create/ show true education such as he did in his “I have a Dream” speech. When he was fighting for everyone’s rights, he had the intelligence and he had a really but really strong character. That was his true for of his true education in my opinion even though he and ever African American had a bad background but he did what he did to do what was right!

Duties and Responsibilities: What a registered dietitian does is to promote healthy eating and nutrition.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I don’t think I would like to be one because I’m not interested in the health perspective of the medical career. To me I’m interested in the medical field, like treatments or check-ups stuff like that. If I had an opportunity to be in this I would love to go just for the help and extra push one needs. J
