Nutrition Courses

I pretty much got into community college, not knowing how to college, I got very lost after the first two community colleges and ended up here at Mission College. I surrounded myself with like-minded individuals by joining a kinesiology club. School is very important to me because with my parents coming from the Philippines, they didn't have these opportunities.
