Recently, I had the extraordinary opportunity for a 10‐day vaca on in Taiwan. Taiwan is a small island off of the coast of mainland China. The capitol city of Taiwan is Taipei and it is similar to New York City in density, traffic and popula on. My experiences were plen ful, enough to write a short story. For the me being I will share with you some of the outstanding highlights. Upon our arrival via China Airlines we had crossed the Interna onal Dateline on a 15‐hour flight out of LA. Tai‐wan is 15‐hours ahead of California and Arizona. We le on a Thursday a ernoon and arrived on Friday night. Our first tour was a drive by of Taipei 101 (the second tallest building in the world at 101 stories). The first four floors of Taipei are all designer stores e.g. Coach, Gucci and Tiffany’s. Then we went to a fantas c and historic Buddhist Temple and an open air night market. The night market is fa‐mous for authen c cuisine and cheap goods. Being on an island means that most of the proteins (cuisine) eaten are harvested from the ocean. I’m not a fan of fish, octo‐pus, squid and mollusks and a er watching a lady eat a live squid at the market, I lost my appe‐
te. Between my food aversions and food allergies I was s ll able to live on mainly rice and noodles for 10‐days. Oh, and McDonald’s tastes the same in Taiwan as it does in the USA.
When asked what my favorite experiences were in Taiwan, my reply was difficult because the en re trip was outstanding. This ONCE in a life me experience was made possible because my husband and his siblings a ended the Taipei American School (TAS) while their dad was sta‐
oned there during the Vietnam War in the early 1970’s. The reason for the trip was to a end the TAS 2016 Worldwide High School Reunion. A 150 alumni and guests a ended this reunion, literally from around the world. My favorite experience was mee ng the alum at the reunion and discovering how many of them were working in extremely important jobs. Aerospace, engineering and various government jobs to name a few.
My second favorite experience was visi ng TAS the s ll exis ng K‐12 school. The school my husband a ended was torn down and replaced with a state‐of‐the‐art school. In the sixth‐grade stu‐dents are issued lap tops to use for both school work and personal enjoyment. The curriculum for all areas of study at TAS are outstanding. I was especially in‐trigued by the Ro‐bo cs Lab where students were work‐ing on their projects‐during Spring Break! Like I said it was a ONCE in a life me experience, with the emphasis on ONCE.

Graduate Success Stories
Tracye Dixon, DTR
Elevator Ride to Success! Gradua ng in December 2013 and before taking the DTR Na onal Creden aling Exam, Tracye Dixon applied for several jobs at WIC during her last semester of school. None of the applica ons were frui ul in ge ng Tracye an interview. She remarks, “Perhaps it was not for my first job to be at WIC.” During her internship, Tracye’s Preceptor men oned to her that she thought it is best for new graduates to work for a couple of years in a hospital se ng. She said that the skills developed in the clinical environment would help Tracye’s future career. Tracye received her first interview from a large hospital about 20 miles from her home in Albuquerque. There were no diete c technician job open‐ings, so she applied for a diet aide posi on. Inevitably, it became somewhat tedious work and she was soon eager for more challenges. One day in the elevator, Tracye no ced two people with the RD creden al on their badges. She introduced herself and told them she had recently graduated and was looking for work as a diete c technician, saying "just in case you ever need help, know that I'm here." Tracye did not think anything would come from it, but two weeks later, she received a business card from the Clinical Nutri on Super‐visor asking Tracey to call and set up an interview. The Pediatric RD’s that Tracye spoke to on the elevator ride had gone to their Supervisor to advocate a DTR posi on for Tracye! The only condi on of her promo on was to get her DTR cer fica on. That push is what Tracye needed to take and pass the DTR exam! For two years now, Tracye has been working as a diete c technician. She screens pa ents who are at low‐risk and assess pa ents who are considered long‐term. She is the primary staff member for all clinical nutri on educa on. Tracye also works in the pediatric and NICU seeing pediat‐ric oncology pa ents. In the NICU, she generates report cards to the physicians and nurses to document infant growth rates. Tracye’s advice to new graduates, “hang in there and don't be afraid to do whatever it takes to get your first job. Even if it means applying for a less desirable posi on to get your foot in the door and meet people. Some mes that extra step is what it takes.”
