Level 4 Risk Research Paper

Improved Essays
I needed to be healthy to prosper. On a scale of 1-5 I feel like this decision was at a 4 difficulty and was tough to maintain. The reason I graded it as a level 4 score was due to the fact that I love food and that bond that had with it, had to be terminated for the greater good. This meant I couldn’t just go to the refrigerator and eat/drink whatever I wanted, I would’ve had to decide appropriate times to eat and then look at the labels of the food that I’m eating to find the healthiest one. The process I went through to making this decision was influenced by my future goals in college. I imaged myself graduating 4 years from now at a university and thought about how I would look like if I wasn’t healthy and if I was. Some of the beliefs …show more content…
It was very helpful using the decision-making process because through all that distraction, I created techniques to overcome the obstacles and the peer pressure. I solved the problems that I faced by, for example, eating something healthy at home before going out with my friend. By eating before leaving the house I was able to have a less desire to eat out. As the week started to end, I became more and more satisfied with the outcome of my decision. I felt more confident in my decision because I started to see physical changes to my body and mental change by becoming more aware of stuff that is happening around me. Reviewing my week, I notice something that I regretted. A thing that I regretted was not having enough to sleep at night because I was too focused with my education and my health. To counteract my low sleep habits, I would need to set a schedule to improve my time management skills and allow me to get more time to …show more content…
This means with a solid dedication, you can make a decision that you are confident with and that will not fall apart.
The second decision that I made this week was to be more involved in my own school work. This means, of going the extra mile and making sure everything is in check and accounted for. This decision felt like a high intensity choice to me because it’s a lot harder to stay on top of things in college, plus this will have a greater impact in my life down the line. Based off the experience during this past week I would categorize this decision at a level 5 being hard. I stated that it was a level 5 because there was an immense pressure on me to succeed. This pressure tended to come from my parents and other adults who have high expectations for me. The main process I went through to make this decision was I first thought about who would be affected by my

    The semester before my freshman year I applied to an early college high school; I knew that I was going to have more work than if I had went to the traditional high school, but I knew I could do it. At first I was doing well, but as time went on the work became more challenging and frequent eventually my grades fell and took my pride with it. I wanted to transfer to the traditional high school in my neighborhood, but changed my mind after a talk with one of my professors. She helped me to recognize that if I quit not only would I be throwing away the work that I did do, but I’d also be preventing myself from seeing what work I could do. I took that seed of information and turned it into a tree of motivation.…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    Eating Healthy Last week when I went to the grocery store, I found that the price of food was a little bit on the expensive side. As I walked through the aisles of the store I heard a voice behind me saying that trying to eat healthy is like a luxury, you know like getting your hair done. You do not need it, but you want it. We both chuckled and parted ways. Then, I started thinking that if I really wanted to eat healthy then it is worth paying the price.…

    Nutrition An unknown author once stated, “The greatest wealth is Health.” When coming into this class I didn’t know much about health and the importance of physical exercise. The influences I have when I make my personal food choices are eating what I want but counting calories to make sure I’m not over the daily calorie intake. I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…

    I was born in Germany with a German mother and an American father. The benefit of being born into a German family and living in Europe for the first ten years of my life was the greatest privilege I experienced throughout my sixteen years of living. However, my father was in the military at the time causing for a slight pressure to always be prevalent for the duration of my younger years. This mainly revolved around the fact that my sister was able to grow up in Germany and I wanted that same opportunity. Soon after these aspirations were formed, they became mere dreams that never would be fulfilled because my dad was given orders to either move to Mississippi or Oklahoma, which both deemed to be the middle-of-nowhere.…
