My background information and interest in sociology!

Hey everyone! My name is Robin Cobb. I am from Priest Lake, Idaho and I have just finished my first year at University of Idaho where I am studying dietetics. The limited amount of time not dedicated to my studies is spent mostly outdoors, where I participate in numerous activities including swimming, hunting, fishing, running, gardening, and playing with my dog's.

In a few years I will be graduating and pursuing a career in dietetics. Being a dietitian will give me the opportunity to help people live healthier lifestyles. In order for me to help people to the best of my abilities it is crucial to understand what drives people to do the things that they do. There will be times when I work with people who are sick or have a distorted body image, and in order for me to successfully help these people I will need to understand what drives this sort of behavior. I believe the social science, sociology will help me achieve a clearer understanding of society's effect on people as well as group interaction.
