Why is Wellness Important to Me?
Wellness is something that has become very important to me because of what I have seen as a nurse. Many people are extremely unwell from diseases that can be preventable. This knowledge has made me afraid of ever getting to a point where something that could be preventable has done too much damage. I believe in the impact of a holistic approach to health and wellness by addressing all the different dimensions of health; emotional, occupational, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual). For my future students, I want to give them the proper knowledge and skills to have a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Modeling and encouraging the use of a growth mindset will help my students reach their full potential.
