NelsonI was drawn to C2C because of my interests in teaching and public health. This program is a great opportunity for hands-on experience in a local classroom while gaining a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between education and health. I am excited about developing curriculum that not only improves health education, but also teaches applied public health skills as they relate to relevant math and science subjects.

My vision
for the classroom largely revolves around the notion of being future
oriented--thinking about the future implications of one's current actions. I am
constantly looking for opportunities to convince and motivate my students to
think more about their near and distant futures and the impact that their
choices today have on the potential for actualizing their goals. C2C has tremendous potential to expose my students to the effects of
daily choices on their health, nutrition, and emotional well-being.

I am excited to participate in C2C because I love teaching others, especially on health-related topics, and want to become a better teacher. I am really looking forward to getting experience in the classroom and learning through the experiences of my classmates.

I am
excited to be a part of C2C this year because it will allow me to bring health
education to my students in the classroom. I am looking forward to working with
my health partner to develop engaging lessons that will challenge my students
to think outside of our daily content.

I am eager
to participate in C2C because community health promotion and education are
essential components of pediatric primary care nursing and I believe this
program will enable me to strengthen my skills in health care communication. I
delight in working with children and anticipate that this experience will
ultimately equip me with the experiences and knowledge necessary to be an
effective pediatric primary care provider.

I am
excited to bring an MPH student into my classroom to ensure our nation's
youngest scholars receive the health education they desperately need regarding
proper nutrition, sleep habits, and oral hygiene. I'm also looking forward to
working with my C2C partner in developing a plan to empower my students'
parents and provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to overcome some
of the greatest health challenges facing their families.

My father
taught for more than 25 years and he always inspired me. I still remember him
taking my hand with the pencil in it and show me how to write when I was a
5-year-old boy. One of his wishes was that I would become a teacher. C2C will give me the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and interact with them in a giving and receiving process of leaning. As a future public health practitioner, C2C will help me learn how to organize and work with communities.
I am so excited to be a part of this class for a second year and being able to focus on the health issues that face the refugee population at my school; I think this will be as much of a learning experience for myself as it will be for my students.

C2C serves as a unique chance for me to engage in public health through health education. I've never taught a class, although I have tutored. I have always admired teachers and the skills the profession affords. I believe C2C will challenge me in ways that would help my growth and development as a budding public health practitioner.
I'm so
excited to bring C2C back into my classroom this year to introduce my students
to topics in health. They have so many questions about their own health and
bodies that I know they will be excited about this too, and perhaps together we
can inspire them to pursue careers in health!
