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.
