Post #3

Doing the workshop groups this week helped me to understand a little bit more of what was being asked and what I needed to do. I think the most interesting and scary thing I learned this week was that the combined number of people in the state of Mississippi who are considered obese and overweight was 67.3% of the population. That really opened my eyes. I am not exactly sure of what i need to do to make it timely though.

I know that i need to find something that is kind of contradictory. I think the audience will be people that are concerned with the obesity problem that faces America and the health of the people.

I'm not exactly sure why I am invested in this topic. It just happened to catch my attention and really make me go Wow when we talked about it in my Health and Quality of Life class.

In high school my teachers told me to write without any personal involvement so it would look more professional. I was just taught to never do it. But last semester with my teacher Carrie Sippy, I learned that anything that I write has a piece of me in it. It has my thoughts, my emotion, and my own writing style. I am always including something personal as I learned from a article called "All Writing is Autobiography".
