Here’s a picture my sister took of me while I was working on a case study for my Medical & Nutritional Therapy class.
What’s the first thing you feel when you look at this picture? I’m going to make the assumption that this picture would make a lot of people want to cry. In fact, it kind of stresses me out to even look at it. Having said that… and despite all of the stress, I love it. I absolutely love working on case studies. Yes, they’re hard and can at times be rather tedious and time-consuming (7+ hours?!), but in some twisted way I enjoy it. (Insert a ”Shut up, Sydney!” here.) I love assessing all of a patient’s information and setting goals for them to become a healthier and happier them.
Even though it’s in the form of a case study, how wonderful it is to get to be doing what I love! I have completed several case studies in my time, and I have countless more to go, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. This is what being a dietician is all about, and I love it. This is what I do, and it’s what I love.
What do YOU do? What do YOU love?
Then there’s me… I look at this picture and just SMILE! That’s the kind of stuff I love to do too! I miss working on things like that. I’m ready to have it back, which I will in a couple of months =) Study Hard!
