Like mentioned before, I plan on joining a bachelor’s degree in nutrition science and an ACE Fitness certification to be the most effective personal trainer I can be. I don’t want to focus on the fitness alone, but the diets and lifestyle choices my clients practice as well. I want to stand out as a professional in my career field and have a wider range of opportunity by having nutrition based knowledge in a nation reliant on things like fast food, processed foods, negative media influence and popular diets created with the only intention of making a profit. In time with more and more comprehension of fitness and nutrition through schooling I hope to gain optimal health and my best physique to rail in more clients and for my own personal benefit as …show more content…
Before I started classes online at Kaplan I had no idea how I wanted to approach my career. I was lost and decided to look into colleges to get me started. Luckily in my process, a career advisor contacted me from Kaplan and walked me through my options step by step, getting me where I am today. I find the online approach simply amazing and best fit for me along with how organized and easy to navigate it is. There are so many resources available like tutoring and a vast library to explore so that if I come into trouble I have plenty of routes to choose from. Kaplan has helped me and is continuing to help me take my goals seriously and stay on track.
Where will I be in five years? I hope to be in the beginning stages of my career gaining experience as a personal trainer at one of my local gyms. I want to start off simple and work my way up from there. I hope to be as effective as I plan to be right now, changing people’s lives for the better and creating a healthier nation a few people at a time. In five years I will have a four-year-old boy and a three-year-old little girl that I want to keep out of poverty by being a successful go-getter and providing a stable environment for my family. With hard work and determination, this will be my future
