Living day to day not knowing what may be ahead is something we all experience, but living day to day knowing you have done all you could to improve your personal health to the best of your ability, can lead you to a more active, productive and gratifying lifestyle.

Tammy made decent grades all throughout her grade and high school years. She spent a lot of her time outdoors and also helping her mother Birdie cook huge meals every Sunday in their kitchen. Tammy had many dreams of what she would become as an adult and often could not wait to grow up and experience anything and everything the world had to offer. During Tammy’s young adulthood she was a slim, petite young woman and was very active. She ate home cooked meals almost all the time and was in great health.

My knowledge in Health and Social is getting better as my teachers told me what to include in my assignments and how to get a pass merit and distinction. Whilst I’m doing this course I’ve learnt many things that would help me in university such as how to reference and also how to write up bibliographies. | I realised that Level 3 is way more in depth than Level 2.

Life Styles Inventory Evaluation Sue Fernandez GM591 Professor: Marco Faggione May 13, 2012 Personal Thinking Styles My results from the LSI test shows my primary thinking style is affiliative and my backup is conventional.

While I was college I worked for an optometrist selling eye ware to patients. I realized then that I loved helping people and trying to meet their needs was a challenge that enticed me.
Because most of my family and friends lives are very busy, I also encourage them to do things that they love in their spare time; such as cooking, biking or yoga and to also get make-up sleep to ease the stress caused on the body throughout the weekday. Some of my favorite things to do in my spare time are watch health talk shows, and read updated health literature. I am fascinated by the many things I learn so I often email my friends certain topics such as tobacco and depression screenings.

Also, when I followed through with my goals for the intervention weeks in terms of doing more stretching and resistance exercises I turned my Thursdays and Mondays into days where I stay strictly motivated and keep my mind on the benefits of my physical activity. I like to say that my motivational goals act as a psychological facilitator for my physical activity. I like to play disc golf or basketball, my two favorite hobbies, almost every day with my friends. This was a social facilitator that kept popping up whenever I recorded my physical activity in the past three weeks.
Community involvement is very important. The best thing a person can donate is their time. It is every individual’s responsibility to help others in their community and beyond. For the past four years, I have gained experience through serving breakfast to the homeless at St. Andrew’s Church on the second Saturday of every month, preparing and teaching for Vacation Bible School, assisting special needs students, and acting as a teacher’s assistance for grade five, and seven classes, as well as grade eight classes. Through my experiences volunteering with children of various ages, as well as at-risk adults in the homeless community, I have discovered my passion for helping others.
