Health Science Reflection Essay

This semester, I thought health science would just be more learning about health and how to improve it. Of course health science taught me this, but I think it also taught me more about myself. Most people aren’t consciously aware of changes until they are forced to notice them, and I think I was in this predicament. Health Science helped me realize a lot of changes that occurred throughout myself, and it helped me realize what I can do better.
Honestly, I personally feel as though my physical health didn’t get better from the beginning of the semester nor did it get significantly horrible. At the beginning of the semester, my goals were to get active and healthier, so I do not gain the freshman 15. I wanted to return to my volleyball body,

I have also reduced the amount of junk food that I get from the grocery store by ensuring that the percent of daily value is below 20%. I need to find some healthier snacks that I can eat throughout the day. It is recommended (by my mom) that I should be eating about every 2.5 hour in order to prevent myself from gaining weight from malnutrition. I started eating greens as much as possible because according to my mother, a general practitioner, my bad nutrition may be the reasoning for why I am always tired. During Thanksgiving, I ate collard greens for the first time, and they weren’t bad just not something I can eat on a daily. Due to me being always tired, I started going to sleep right after I sleep which is bad because it doesn’t allow your food to digest. As a result, I assumingly gained some pounds because I can’t fit my jeans anymore, and I also broke a pair of jeans I had on when I bent down to grab something. Also, I don’t drink soda or juice anymore besides orange juice for my vitamin C. I still take my two different sets of vitamins which I think is starting to have an impact on my body because I’m not as tired anymore. I try to drink the necessary amount of water per day, but I often feel dehydrated and my pee is often yellow which is a clear sign of

I want to avoid everyone knowing my business in order to avoid necessary drama. Also, I plan to keeping my mouth shut about information that I know and try not to pry in other people’s information because I want to be nosey. I wanted to rekindle some of my old friendships with people that I have funny memories with, but as I continue to ponder it, I realize that not everyone is intended to be in your life. If they really wanted to be in your life, they would have made the effort themselves. It might also start some unnecessary drama by bringing up the past. Therefore, I will leave the past in the past. Some people have made the effort, but I think its best that we go our separate ways. For example, this girl that used to be my best friend didn’t come to my graduation even though she went to my brothers and my sisters, and I even when to her high school and college graduation. She didn 't even tell me that she wasn 't going to come to my graduation because “she couldn 't find a ride”. However, the other day, she texted me basically stating that I was being a stranger, and she has to keep in touch with me through other people. Originally, I was going to give a petty response back, but I realized that the best thing to do was to leave the past in the past, and therefore, I never responded and don 't intend on it. Also, I am going to start withdrawing myself from conversations that will cause me to overreact or say something rash because I
