PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF HEALTH EDUCATION
PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT
CURRENT RESUME
There is more to health than just the physical aspect. There is mental, social, spiritual, and emotional. I feel as though health is merely a second thought for some people, but it really is of utmost importance. Understanding health is a necessity and I want to become a health educator to make people aware of their own needs to live long and healthy lives. My mission is to focus on prevention and help people make healthier decisions in the future. I want to impact lives in a positive way and I feel like I can do that by promoting health.
