BACKGROUND

I’m second-born child in the family and currently, I live with my mother and some of my siblings in Wami Dakawa village. I then succeeded to be selected to be among form five students in Utete secondary school. In all levels of education my mother is the one who plays a vital role in my education journey. To be honest, the hardships which are have passed through in course of a lifetime are the ones which inspired me to keep on fighting and thriving for a better life in the belief that one day I will earn enough money which will help me to support my family as a whole and brighten my future life.

The following are the reasons which has inspired me to chose this field: 1. The increase in the rate of the Non-communicable diseases as a results of the inadequacy of nutrition knowledge within the community and our country as whole. 2. The increase of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality rates among under-fives children who are from some of the Tanzania regions like Iringa and Shinyanga. 3. Lack of clinical dietetian staff in Tanzania. The following are the things which I will try to do to my community as a dietitian 1. Volunteering in nutritional education provision to the community 2. Volunteering at the hospital for providing therapeutic nutrition treatment to those patients who are in need of nutritional support. My dream job is to be a clinical dietitian who will use therapeutic nutrition in treatment of the nutrition-related problems. Not only that but also I am interested in being a sport and exercise dietitian who will help different athletes to reach their highest performance level through nutrition requirements adherence. I am also dreaming to be a community dietitian so that I will be able to prevent and cure nutrition-related problems/diseases like Non communicable diseases (NCDs) within community level and country as whole and hence saving resources and lives of the people in the community.

INTERESTS

My dream is to focus on doing things which are beneficial to my community and country as whole. Business is one of the economic activities, I am interested to practice in order to provide a backup plan for my carrier. Helping other people to reach their dreams will always be my priority when I have an opportunity to do so.
