Assignemnt #1
Rationale: When it comes to our health, we should all take care of ourselves and try
to stay as healthy as possible. I am that person that thinks that doing exercise will
improve everyone’s mental health and not only that, it also improves their physical
condition. I addition people must do it not only to look in good shape, but most of the
time exercise also relives you form problems in life and improve your mood. I believe
that if the Personal Education teachers in school increment the outdoor activity and
regular teachers talk to students about how they mental health can improve if they
do exercise, we will have less children with depression and anxiety. When kids feel
lonely, exercise is a door to escape as they will keep their minds busy and suddenly
will get out of depression.
