Reflection: From the very beginning of the semester, this class was a challenge for me. By the end of the first month, I visited Dr. Fink during her office hours and reached out my hand for assistance. She helped make things click, but it was up to me for the remainder of the semester, once my actual professor took over, to maintain my success. It remained difficult for me, however, I was able to finish off the semester with a “B.” Although I am used to “A’s,” due to my struggles, this was a major accomplishment. The most valuable message I extracted from this course was the importance of health and nutrition. I already knew that it was important, but now I am able to comprehend the science behind it.
