One week closer!

The fall semester is winding down. Its hard to believe it is almost over. I am almost done with my two huge projects and one is due November 28 and I cannot wait to turn it in and then only one more to finish! My huge 15 page paper is almost finished and then I have to prepare my presentation by December 7 which should be no problem at all! I was finally able to do my data collection for my 15 page paper/presentation and it was a relief to just have to put the finishing touches on my paper. I can say that my observation for elementary school lunches was more shocking than I imagined. I knew that the school lunches are not healthy but lunches brought from home fared no better. Some children had donuts and only junk food in their lunch! Can you imagine?? This information hits me hard because I will be a part of the Childhood Obesity Prevention Project for my internship and after this observation, I realize even more the challenge that lies ahead for me and the Public Health Department. But all I have to say is BRING IT ON!! For those that know me will understand that I will do whatever it takes to change school lunches and decrease obesity in children. After all, this is why I started grad school and it is my ultimate goal to work at the state level and with the Public Health Department. I am even more motivated than before to kick butt at my internship and land myself a permanent position working there. You better watch out, I am on a mission and I will let nothing stand in my way to achieving my goals!!!!
