The other freshman seminar group that presented today presented a topic near and dear to my heart as a future nurse, health in the African American community. They discussed the history of our poor eating habits and how we are prone to diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Diabetes and cancer run in my family and my sisters and I as youth try to lesser our chances of obtaining these diseases by excercing and eating right.
This topic also hit close to home because of my summer 2007. I was a part of UMASS Medical School’s High School Health Careers. In the month long program I had to study a health disparity and the one I chose was Diabetes. This disease affects millions of adults and children each year.
