NOURISHED. ENERGIZED. THRIVING.

        

    Nourished, Energized, Thriving—3 words that embodied the highlight of my Nutrition Month Experience. The month of July cast its rays upon me, bringing me enlightenment that food and nutrition security are indeed a priority. Also, it gifted a basket full of fruits and veggies, offering opportunities to improve my talents and skills.

    Moreover, my nutri-month experience transcends mere experiences, it was more than just a month. Since the first week of July, it has already placed me in the spotlight of a nutritious adventure. First and foremost, along with my section, Maxwell, was chosen to represent our school, ISNHS, in a Nutri-Jingle Contest, so we took the opportunity and made the most of it. This contest further unleashed my potential, especially my talent in singing and dancing. In addition to this, I had created an unbreakable bond among my co-peers. This nutri-contest was metaphorically similar to eating healthy foods as it made me feel healthier, in terms of mind, body, and connection with others. Furthermore, this Nutri-Jingle contest was more than what I had expected. Blessings of championships came our way. We were soaring into the next levels—division, regional, and nationals.

    Second, I and Maxwell continued our cause for a nutritious month. We joined the Food Festival, an activity held by the TLE Department. We were selling nutritious food with solely one goal, to promote healthy diets and food nutrition for every Individual. Apart from that, this activity tested my planning, marketing, and communication skills which are also necessary for me as a student.

    Overall, this Nutrition Month was a great win and an award for me. As a student, I gained more knowledge on the importance of healthy diets as a pillar of nutrition security. Additionally, it taught me that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right that should be prioritized. Undoubtedly, it was a month of nutritious adventures that helped me become nourished, energized, and thriving. After all, it was a Nutri-Funtastic Month to remember.
