1. Think back to when you first started as an HCSV major, how have you changed as a
a. When I started as a HCSV major I had my mind set on becoming a nurse but with
this major we were exposed to so many topics from drugs in our society, mental
health, environment health, research and much more. In order for al HCSV majors
do it at the CHC (Center for Healthy Communities). Walking into it I had no idea
what I was going to do since the Butte fire just happened the semester prior. It
was hectic since many people were displaced and thankfully, I had the chance to
educate schools and centers in Yuba County about healthy eating. There are many
people that do not apply for Cal fresh because the process can be compilated. But
with my team we were education the children and adults regardless if they did or
not. So, with this internship it was a HUGE wide opener to see what is happening
to the community around me. Now I want to work with low-income populations
to show them the recourses that they have, to be a voice for them, and to provide
2. What are you most proud of? Discuss what you have done that you didn’t ever think you
would be able to do, your biggest challenge in the major and what you learned from these
experiences.
a. I am still in shock that this semester I was able to present my own lesson plans. In
class I am not a big fan of speaking up and when I did have group projects that I
had to present I never wanted to. With this internship and classes I had to step out
of my comfort zone and I did, it was tough at first but as time passes it gets easier.
I learned that no matter how hard the task is, if you believe in yourself that you
can do anything. But I want to also thank the awesome teams that I had to support
3. What does your portfolio tell you about your strengths and areas for growth? How so?
a. My portfolio shows that throughout this program I have grown. I never would
have thought that I was able to create a research paper, a grant proposal, or even a
10-page lesson plan. I was able to find myself as a leader while doing the group
projects in my classes. College students are busy, but I was proud that I was able
4. What classes, assignments and topics were the most and least interesting to you? Why?
a. The classes that I found the most interesting was environmental health. I knew
that the zip code that we live in does affect how long one lives but I never knew
that our planet was in so much trash. We hear about climate change; recycling is
good for the earth but if you look at it closer you see that not everything is
recycled. Humans producing too much trash, driving around town, and eating too
b. The least interesting class I think would be Multicultural Health. Not that this
class was not important which it was, but I felt that the things we were learning
were the same things that we were learning in the other classes. Also, when I took
that class there was way too much work that I felt was unnecessary.
5. Were your best (and favorite) assignments related to people, planning, administration,
what is happening in the community since I lived in Chico, been to City Council
Meetings, bought produce at farmer’s market. Looking up the data and seeing
what was happening around the community was shocking but as health educators
it is our job to collect data and see how we can improve the community. It is
stigma against food stamps but as we educate and show how simple it is, I hope
