Furthermore, if an under-educated adult is given the chance to learn proficiently, he will benefit and society will also progress. Finally, if a community member is looking to exercise or participate in community health activities at an affordable price, having access to them will create community connections and healthier living. This will give communities the opportunity to be fit, active and involved. Although I have faced many challenges throughout college that have hindered my thinking about GPA, this does not compromise my professional, educational, or personal goals. I know that I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to because I have a strong will, desire and mindset to achieve my goals. I believe JSU's public health program will help me achieve my future goals with a focus on providing a high-quality education and developing lifelong leaders who will go on to accomplish great things. I also believe that the program will help me achieve my goals because of the wide range of education and research interests that faculty in the program have overall, but primarily in the promotion and education of behavioral health.
