The topic of obesity interested me for
a couple of reasons. The first reason is because I have a child and I want to
make sure he grows healthy into young adulthood. As a parent I teach my child
that there are other alternatives to fast food that can be just as tasty. I also
preach to him about getting his exercise, that getting heart rate up for as
little as 30 min. a day can keep him fit. My second reason is my mom. No, she is
not in late adulthood nor is she overweight, but she was just told by her
doctor that she is borderline diabetic. This is because she does not eat right
she is a junk food fanatic. I want to see my family healthy this is why I liked
this topic not only to educate myself more, but to educate them as well.
I chose social work, because I wanted to be able to help people in any given scenario. I would like to work with youth because they are still growing and they have a lot of potential. I would like to be a role model to someone. We all know the cliché “the children are our future” well that’s definitely true. I aspire as a social worker to help motivate and give hope to a child that can one day do the same for someone else.
