Share and Voice: Guy in the Ally

Today is December 17th and on my way to the store this morning there was this man walking through the ally going through garbage cans, which I thought was kind of odd because the garbage was picked up the other day. So being my last day in Duluth I decided to ask the man what hes doing just casually... So after speaking to the guy and getting a whirl wind of information this guy who is going through the ally is a secret santa. He goes through allys and looks for broken items or things that he could use to make presents for kids in need. I was very hesitant to believe it at first, but than I thought about it and the passion this guy had in his eyes and the way he spoke was very real. I believed him and then I thanked him for what hes doing. I think its important that we dont pass judgement on people regardless of any situation because alot of the times we dont even know the whole situation were just looking from the outside in.

Share @ Voice: How does aclohol affect stress?

Alcohol. I found this article because I was searching around the internet trying to find things on alcohol and if it even actually reduces stress, because I know I have had times when I think alcohol is the answer to make your self less stressed so I wanted to find out.
MY finding....
Alcohol does not reduce stress... The few different things that it does do though is it temporily affects your perceptions and affects nuetrotransmittors in your brain. The long term affect of this i s actually depressing not uplifting. So my conclusion to this is that alcohol is not the answer when you are trying to reduce the stress. Working out or something active to get the natural endorphins is alot better of an option.

Reflections: Weeks 13 & 14 and Overall Reflection

WEEK 13


During this week we went on a trip to the GOODWILL. I never knew that GOODWILL was a place where it like a helping plan for people with disabilites to help them get jobs in the future. I think thats awesome. Seeing how the store works and walking through the factory really opened my eyes to how things get moved through the world and how they end up in certain spot. I also liked the game we played where we had to pretend to buy stuff because it gave me alot of good ideas and it just shows there are different ways to get things or make things that are alot more eco friendly. We also wrote out letters to a public official. I feel really good about this activity because it gives us a chance to help make some good.





WEEK 14


Seeing all the projects was really cool. It was nice to see the creative side in everyone. Also I liked doing the online assignments because I learned that I am not so knowledgable about certain fitness things as I thought I was.


Here is a picture of my project:

My project was a guitar. It was made out of a shoe box. A Ron Diaz Bottle *( I am 22 ). and an old hockey skate lace and I decorated it with some little debbie snack boxes.

Overall
Overall this course has tought me alot and has brought me out of my shell. I always had an open mind about things but my shyness always made it difficult. Now I just go into things with an open mind and always think before I react. Also this course has given me a different aspect of opinion in different ways and has also opened my eyes to realize different things that are going on in the world. I am very thankful for this class and want to thank Dr.V for being a beyong excellent Professor. Have a good one.

Eye Opener: Online Learning Activites

The online learning activities that I did were Amandas, Jakes and Kristins.

After taking Amandas Fitness quiz I scored a 62.

Organized outline of what we were learning than had a fitness quiz.
What does your score mean?
You're standing just outside the ranks of 'fitness buff', so don't stop now. Your score indicates that you've got a good general knowledge of fitness, but are a little hazy on the details. With the recent fitness craze, you should easily be able to find the information necessary to fine-tune your fitness knowledge. With the proper knowledge, you will not only be able to optimize your fitness routine, but you'll also be prepared to avoid injury.
