Overall Reflection
I will just start off by saying this was a class I wasn’t going to take but I needed it to have
wiggle room so I didn’t fall under credits and wasn’t eligible to play the baseball season. At this
point I can say I am happy I took this class. It opened my eyes to bigger problems that are
happening around the health world. My first thoughts when I signed up for the class was that I
am going to learn how to eat better, learn how to exercise better, and learn about other things I
can do to stay healthy and have a longer life. That wasn’t much of the case. Although we did do
some work about those things. We talked about more than just food. I learned more about mental
health. What people go through with how just the simplest things can cause someone to have
panic attacks. How people deal with substance abuse and why or how they fall into or choose
that life. Talking more in depth about things other than just food, exercising, and having a good
schedule. Really helped me understand what people go through on a day to day basis. I learned
more about mental health in this class than I have ever learned. And about places and things that
are there to help and support you when you aren’t feeling your best.
I feel like I did well in this class because I was interested in reading about many different
topics and about what people go through. Although I knew a little bit about topics I enjoyed
understanding and learning about them. There were some assignments that I know I could have
done a little better if I had just done more research. But there were some assignments I did very
well on by mainly focusing on what I knew and how I could use that to help others. My
experience in this class was amazing. Although it was virtual getting to know a little bit about
everyone in this class was great. We all had our own opinions on every topic. And we helped
each other learn more. It was great getting the chance to tell a little bit about my story and what i
have been through because it was just so welcoming. Getting feedback from others was great
because it allowed me to work better for the next assignment. I hope at leasts someone in this
class was able to learn something new about themselves and if anyone was going through
something I hope the found our discussions as a way of comfort.
