The area now known as the NoDa district, is dedicated to living eco-friendly, supporting small businesses, promoting the arts, encouraging diversity and aiding fellow charities.

The instruction is based off what Y5210 program stands for, taught by volunteers or YMCA employees.

    They must never feel left out or unworthy of becoming the most successful person they can possibly be. Just because they are starting from the bottom does not mean that their entire lives will be spend in the bottom. The Teen Lead program run and funded by Gary Matus offers many critical resources that help the youth with college concerns, financial advice, work opportunities, resumes, tutoring, and much more. The problem however, is that it only exists in downtown La. If some how the program can expand to all YMCAS and later to all schools; elementary, middle schools, and high schools then I am certain that it will help produce far more educated individuals and put them out in the world to become an inspiration for kids sharing similar upbringings.…

    The determination of children’s health outcomes and their precursors such as healthy eating, is a difficult process in which individuals must consider various academic resources to develop an appropriate perspective. However, it is in determining the value of these resources, regarding their impact on our understanding of early childhood health, where the problem lies. This review will critically assess the articles; ‘Food consumption patterns in preschool children,’ (Pabayo, Spence, Casey & Storey, 2012) and ‘Advertising and fictional media effects on healthy eating choices in early and later childhood,’ (Ferguson, Contreras & Kilburn, 2014) as well as the report, ‘Munch & Move: Evidence and Evaluation Summary,’ (Lockeridge, Innes-Hughes,…

    MPH Competencies In the beginning I visualized opportunities for the YMCA such as: introducing new communication and education avenues such as Pinterest, taking a public health systems approach with Missouri State University to encourage use of Activetrax and the importance of nutrition, find realistic opportunities for the YMCA to enrich the nutrition education part of Activetrax with basic statistical methods, apply research principals to class count data, and develop public health interventions to evaluate Activetrax. These opportunities are mentioned as part of the expected MPH competencies for the internship plan and so they as well as three Discipline-Specific Competencies and three Interdisciplinary Core Competencies will be in the following…

    The community of Otto-Eldred should consider building a YMCA. It would be a good way to exercise and stay active, it would be a good way to make money and most importantly it would be a fun, safe, place for young adolescents to stay active. Although some people might argue that building a YMCA in Eldred would be too expensive, the YMCA can charge customers for memberships, food and drinks from vending machines, and they can make a rental facility. And remember, "There are 7 days in the week and someday isn't one." -Shaquille…

    Obesity In South Dakota

    The current obesity rate for South Dakota high school students is 14.7%, ranking South Dakota as the 12th highest state out of 43 with high school obesity. Historically, the obesity rate of high school students was lower than 14.7% with 1999-2001 being the lowest at 7.5%, but has been steadily climbing year after year to an astonishing doubled rate. With the trend of adult obesity at 30.4% and still rising, there is no doubt that high school obesity is a direct causation to adult obesity. An abstract published in 2011 from the National Library of Medicine states that obesity is a problem in the United States and South Dakota, with South Dakota’s obesity being higher than the national prevalence. South Dakota’s Department of Health has been…

    Everyone knows the YMCA song, but everyone doesn’t have the same connection to it that I do. This building never contained one life changing event for me, but it has been a pivotal place in my life. A place I’ve referred to as home many times, the YMCA has shaped who I am as a man. This pivotal spot is where I suffered my first traumatic injury, changing how I do things for the rest of my life; but also was the place I went to when coping with family incidents.

    How do you personally define empathy/caring/healing, or what characteristics or qualities do you believe positive health care professionals need to possess? My personal definition of empathy is the ability for a person to comprehend and share feelings with another person due to past experiences or out of plain respect. In my opinion, the word caring means exhibiting sympathy and concern for others, and the word healing is the process of a human being or living organism recuperating from an injury or becoming healthy again. I believe some of the characteristics and qualities a positive health care professional must possess are: excellent communication skills, emotional stability, flexibility, empathy, physical endurance, interpersonal skills,…
