Personal Narrative: My Structural Tension

Decent Essays
This project honestly didn't have much of an impact on me whatsoever only because everything I stated in my structural tension was a plan I had during the summer. I personally value having good health so that helps me actually not eat things too recklessly (though I wouldn't say my diet and fitness plus represents that well).

Luckily my sister does the cooking and she is pretty health conscious with her cooking considering she has actually taken general nutrition before.
When it comes to actual diseases or health problems in my family the only ones I know of is my mom had thyroid and gallbladder issues which I believe one might have been a result of her drinking too much diet coke but i'm not entirely sure. Other than my mother I don't believe anyone else in my immediate family have any health problems at all even my grandparents are doing well. So since the threat of genetic disease worsening my health are fairly slim I can worry about my own diet affecting me first. The only real cost of eating healthy though is just simply convenience to me because I already know taste is not an issue if you know what to properly eat isn't all abysmal. Personally I just find going on diet changes are tedious and that’s why don't prefer

That is the director’s main goal, in my opinion; to captivate audiences within the first couple of seconds. One of the director’s main roles is to help guide actors during rehearsals. When I was younger, nine or ten, my elementary school teacher told me that I could be an excellent teacher.…

    Over the course of 3 days: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I have been keeping careful track of all the food that I consume. Treating these days not as days in order to actually try and eat right, but eat what I normally do, and then analyze the data from the food I ate. This data does not take into account the probiotic and multivitamin that I take daily in the morning. The data that was gathered will help compare the recommended daily nutrient intake to my actual intake, the changes that should be made, and why certain nutrients are important to incorporate in my daily diet.…
