After years of education full of hard decisions to be made, Kyla Heyward is pursuing her passion in dietetics and nutrition. While starting as a nursing student, there are many obstacles that may be crossed to determine what you want your final destination to be. It is hard to keep a path straight when in reality, you learn off of the hardships you may face. There is no time line set for you to achieve your goals. Do not get discouraged when you appear to be on a different path than others. Most importantly, show them how your own path benefits yourself and your dreams. I am proud of the strength and determination I have kept overtime. I want to be able to mentor other's who may be experiencing the same setbacks. But in the long run, within my career I strive to educate the world about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle by staying consistent with food nutrition.
