Healthy, Wealthy And Wise Research Paper

Improved Essays
Without a doubt P.E. 150 Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise was one of the most beneficial classes that I will ever take in college. It may have been just a general studies course but to me it was so much more that just that. This class has taught me incredibly important things that I will remember for a lifetime. It taught me how to take care of health, how to be responsible in certain situations, and how to life life to the fullest. Overall the material in this class has impacted my college experience in a very positive way. Going into this class, I thought that we would mostly be learning about physical health and how to stay in shape, but we learned so much more than just that. I enjoyed learning about psychological health and the four parts …show more content…
The guest speakers in this class were awesome. I feel like these topics were also very beneficial towards college students. From these, I learned to be very careful in the decisions I make, as they can effect the rest of my life in ways that I didn 't even know possible. These topics were definitely something that I will keep in the back of my mind for the rest of life in order to stay safe and healthy. Fitness and body image were also topics that I took a lot away from. Physical activity and exercise are essential to living a healthy life. I was always very active in high school, but the first few weeks of college I kind of veered away from that. This classes helped me to stay on track and keep up an active lifestyle. Now, I usually go bike at the health center once a day and then go on walks as well. Body image was an interesting topic for me because I didn 't know that how many people around the world are anereix and bulimic. I think that people should never be too obsessed with their body image. The should try to keep themselves healthy if at all possible, but body image isn 't that important to me because there are so many more parts to a person than just their

    This course has taught me how to be more self-aware about what type of counselor I want to be and focus more on my values and accomplish what is important for me. This course also taught me how to be more flexible. Having a full-time job working 40 or more hours a week plus school; it was hard and still is, but having flexibility when I become a Mental Health Counselor will help me because I must be flexible to meet the client needs so we can establish a client/counselor relationship and maintain that relationship. Through this course, I learned about my professional identity, how to bring my personal values into Mental Health Counseling without losing myself, yet help the client without pushing my values on that person.…

    If I could take only one concept I learned from this class to apply to my well-being would be mindfulness. At the beginning and the end of class, when we got to lie down and focus on our breathing, I tended to start thinking about the things that I need to do after class. Throughout the semester, I have gotten better at pushing away my worries and focusing on the present moment. That helps me to relax better and become more aware of my body and the environment. 2.)…

    Going into this course I was thinking: “Okay, Lisa, I have had a lot of experiences. What more can I possibly learn? I highly doubt that I will come away from this class learning something new.” But sure enough, I was wrong and you were right. For example, I always thought it was unhealthy to skip periods if a female is on birth control, but Planned Parenthood told me otherwise.…

    I was able to view things in a different light. Those topics included, but not limited to: new racism, colorblindness, intersectionality, black gender ideology, and so much more. The class gave me a greater outlook on life as an African American and I knew I could not limit myself to just that one course. Furthermore, this is why I am in the African American Feminism course. There is a countless number of people of color, women of color in particular, whom we have to thank for being that powerful voice I desire to posses.…

    Over the course of this class, I have learned many new things about diet, health, and proper nutrition for a long life. Without learning these very important things, I may have just continued on my old diet, which was not healthy in the least. I have now seen a real proper diet, complete with all different food groups and everything in between. I am grateful for this class, because otherwise, I would probably still have that unhealthy diet. Nutrition taught me a lot, and I am ready now to follow all that it taught me, and I think I have the knowledge now to teach the people around me about it too.…

    Throughout the course, I learned different aspects of project management, and skills that can be used in the everyday life as long as involve interacting with other people. In this class I learned about how to be a better team member. This semester I was reminded of how important communication is and how people need to keep emphasizing it as one of the most important skills any person could possesses. The personality test was useful, I think it gave all of us a good way to start to see how everyone is different. It made it easier for each of us to better understand one another in how our unique personalities can be a challenge when working with others.…

    I believe that I did really well in these classes because I enjoyed the content of the course. I loved how I was able to talk about medical and health issues without having an actual medical class. It was not a biology class or a chemistry class, which are course required for students going into the medical field. I liked the combination of psychology and health in these classes. On the other hand the classes that I have not done so well on have been math-based classes.…
