Looking forward...
I am anticipating working with the Yes Prep North Central students on a deeper, more personal level. I expect that I can offer them new insight into the way science touches their lives and what that could mean for their careers and their life paths. I am grateful for the initial relationships I've developed with the children and their parents that have allowed me to see the difficulty but also willingness of some to make consistent changes in their lifestyle in order to improve their health. The obesity prevention program, which has linked me to and provided me access to the school, has given me new insight into a community and a context different from the one in which I grew up and from the one in which I now live.

Cristina, Are you already working with a group of students? What are you doing with them? Please chat with me about this. It sounds like it will be fine but I just want to be sure. Thanks Dr. r.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dr. Rosell. The dietary research program I work for has a family and child education component that is done through the Yes Prep Chartered Schools, which aim to bring college preparation to those from underserved demographics. I do have a relationship with the kids already and hope to further that in some way as part of my service learning. Let me know any specifics on how I can do this or I can model my interaction off of the CIS program.
