Kandis Meininger, Candidate for Bachelor of Science in Natural Health

Perhaps you’ve wondered… Just how does a new student begin his or her Clayton College admissions process? Here are excerpts from the enrollment essay submitted by Kandis Meininger of Alaska.

The Keys to Happiness and Fulfillment

“During pregnancy I developed a horrible stomach ache, and my husband offered me some peppermint tea. With a shrug I started to sip, and was amazed that within just a few minutes I felt so much better that I settled into restful sleep. This led me to realize that I needed to know more about natural remedies, to start my child on a healthy path…

After my son’s birth I discovered natural options that relieved my lifelong allergies, and soon I could exercise again without using drugs. When I began taking classes from a local herbalist, I knew my life would never be the same. I knew that I had found my passion…

Most people settle for a career to pay the bills or end up “stuck” in a job that’s unfulfilling. In a way, maybe it’s easier to settle. But I am destined for more and I will continue pursing a career in natural health. I am choosing a lifestyle and profession that makes me happy and healthy. I believe enjoying what you do is the key to happiness and fulfillment.”
