"Live as if you were to die tomorrow,
Learn as if you were to live forever".
-Mahatma Gandhi
This quote by Mahatma Gandhi is framed on the wall of my apartment, I pass it every morning as I leave home and every night as I return. It is my daily reminder to make the most of my time on Earth and to always remain hungry for both life and learning, for it is a lack of living fully or learning deeply that often leads to a lifetime of regret. By living life to the fullest one must not only strive for their own well being but also love on their neighbors and look out for one another. Learning enables us to further help ourselves as well as those around us. As I pursue my career in Dietetics it is important that I maintain this philosophy. In order for me to achieve my life goals it will be imperative that I take care of my patients' needs so that they too can fulfill their hunger for life and learning.
