Assessing My Personal Health
I would say I am pretty healthy. Everyday, I get up, go to school, come home/do homework, go to soccer, come home/do more homework again, and finally go to sleep. Also, I would say I have a healthy diet and am involved in church too. I may not be very balanced though. For example, I have spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual and physical wellness, but I lack social and emotional wellness. I get stressed a lot; with school and soccer, it is hard to find time to have a social life. -
