IBhanki yoKutya yaseGalveston yayiyeyokuqala ukujikeleza kwam kwinkqubo yeDietetics e-UTMB. Ndandisoyika kakhulu, kodwa Umlawuli wesondlo uCandice Alfaro kunye nomfundisi-ntsapho wezondlo uStephanie Bell bamkelekile kwaye banobubele ukusukela kusuku lwam lokuqala. Inyanisile ndothuswa yindlela ebelijikeleziswa ngayo. Iofisi yesebe lezondlo ibe yindawo yam ekhuselekileyo kule nyanga idlulileyo.

Kwiveki yam yokuqala, ndaphoswa kanye kwiiklasi zokufundisa ngesondlo kubafundi beSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo saseTexas. Ndandithatha inxaxheba veki nganye ngalo lonke ixesha lokujikeleza kwam. Ngaphambi koku, bendinamava okuthetha esidlangalaleni kuphela kwizabelo ezimbalwa zeklasi. Noko ke, ndakwazi ukugqiba umboniso wokutya ngosuku lwam lwesibini! UStephanie ube ngumcebisi omkhulu kwiklasi nganye kwaye uhlala endikhuthaza ukuba ndiphucule. Ngeklasi nganye, ndeva ukuzithemba kwam kukhula kwaye kuchuma.

Kwiveki yam yesibini, ndaba nethuba lokwenzela uluntu iibhokisi zokutya ezili-150. Ikhithi nganye ibiqulathe izithako zokwenza izidlo ezibini ezisempilweni kunye nefolda ezaliswe lulwazi oluluncedo lwesondlo kunye neendlela zokupheka. Mna noStephanie, noCandice, sazinika abahlali zonke ezo bhokisi, ngoko ndazibonela ngawam amehlo ukuba ngoobani abangenelwayo kuzo. Yayingamava amnandi ngokwenene! Ndonwabele yonke inkalo yayo, nditsho ndide ndipakishe ngobunono ngesandla ibhokisi nganye.

Ndifunde ngakumbi malunga neprojekthi ye-Healthy Corner Store kwiveki yam yesithathu. Ekuqaleni, ndacinga ukuba akukho ndlela ivenkile yekona ingavuma ukongeza iinketho ezinempilo. Noko ke, xa mna noStephanie saya kwiKwik Stop eLa Marque, ivenkile abebesebenza nayo, yabethakala ingqondo. Utshintsho oluninzi olusempilweni lwenziwe kwivenkile, kubandakanya ukongeza imveliso, ukutya okuziinkozo, ubisi, imiqondiso kunye nokunye. Kwakhona ndadibana nomnini-venkile ndaza ndabona indlela awayekulangazelela ngayo ukwenza utshintsho. Bekumangalisa ukubona indlela isebe lezondlo elinefuthe elingakanani eluntwini.

Kwiveki yam yokugqibela, ndibe nolonwabo lokwenza ikhadi leresiphi kunye nevidiyo yokubonisa ukutya ukuze ndiyifake kuYouTube. Bendisoloko ndinomdla kuphuhliso lweresiphi kunye nevidiyo, ndiye ndatsibela ithuba lokufunda yonke inkqubo. Ndichulumancile ngokuba yinxalenye yethala leencwadi leresiphi yesebe lezondlo. Ndiceba ukusebenzisa ubuchule bam obutsha ukwenza iiresiphi zam ngenye imini.

Ixesha lam apha belingenakulibaleka ngokwenene, kwaye ndinombulelo ongazenzisiyo ngalo lonke ithuba endilifumeneyo. Ndifunde izakhono ezininzi endiza kuhamba nazo kulo lonke umsebenzi wam. Ndiyambulela ngokungazenzisiyo uStephanie noCandice ngokwenza ixesha lam libe mnandi kwaye libe nemveliso. Andifuni kuthi ndlelantle!

Kude ibe lilixa elizayo,
