I found this really cool quote in my nutrition book today as I was reading:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
This hit me really hard because even though I have big, maybe somewhat unrealistic dreams, I can make a difference in this world. I want to be able to help so many people. I want to be able to use my love for nutrition and health and benefit all that I come into contact with. A thought occurred to me though that not only is the health level of the people of this world important, but helping to increase their access to nutritious food. So many people of this world, even here in America, are starving. They don't have enough money to be able to obtain food, let alone healthy food. I can't wait until I have a degree and I can start making a difference in people's lives.
But I have realized that I don't have to wait until I have my degree to make a difference. I can help my husband and I to become healthy and implement nutritious principles in our lives to help prepare us to help our future children. I can also help my parents and siblings to be healthy, because then they will set examples for their future families as well.
