Final Reflection

The final day we presented our 20% project was on Thursday, we showed the progress and  what we learned throughout the end. We failed in doing and succeeding our project, due to lack of communicating and doing the project. Throughout this we learned the good and bad of not maintaining a healthy life and exercising daily. The main purpose was to change someones life and showing the main idea of the project, which we failed in doing, but many people have asked me how to have a better life in doing these workouts and such forth. By doing this it helps in not taking risks in having heart diseases and other types of diseases that can occur later on in life. Even though we mainly failed, we learned many things to do with our project and can reflect to that. If so we had to redo this or start again, I would mainly do a better job and complete it to get a good grade to this.

Week 10


On this week, we have been working on other assignments that have to due with our English class that have also taking time with our 20% Percent Project. I've been looking up some diseases that can be prevented by exercise which are some cancers, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. By doing exercise daily, your bones are more stronger and can maintain this way by exercising daily and committing towards it. Exercising and basically having a good life will grantee that the person's life expand will be more efficient. In doing this life would be more enjoyable instead of worrying about your weight and what to not eat at times.


This website will help in knowing more about the good exercising may do.

Week 9

This week we haven't done much, throughout the time, but we have had the chance to make a presentation which we will present on the final day. We have had process in completing this presentation by making it on Google Drive and joining in all the members to work on it together to finish it. In the presentation we talk about how the process that we have done so far, and the wrong and right choices to make in life. Hopefully we do complete this and show our teacher the process we have done throughout the year. This project has done a lot to think and investigate also, just wish it will go good in the end.

Week 8



This week during our 20% project, we haven't done much sadly. We've all been busy with our own things to do, and life wise errands as well. It's not easy making time to actually complete something when there's nothing like completing it at school, and actually keeping time to finish it. It doesn't seem like we have a leader in our group, to lead us to success nor to finishing the entire project. This whole project has been a roller coaster we can't figure out where to finish what we have started at this point. We're thinking of making pamphlets for everyone in the class and showing the pros of exercising, and the healthy ways of living a good life. I highly think anyone can loose weight anytime by doing possible things in a daily routine if it is made to be a goal. No one is overweight just because, but if you let yourself go with all the foods around mainly "junk food" leads many risks to your health.

Week 7




This week on your 20% project, not much has been thought out nor figured out what to do or to say. Our project is basically due next month and I can't stand, but to just stress out so much. I know it's like been almost 8 months and it's not easy, trying to find a way to communicate with each-other and getting the project entirely done. It's hard to make time mostly high school student's we basically have so much to do as in projects. homework , and tests. We try and try to make time to do this, but there's always a thing that gets in the way. I really hope there's a way we can get this done and get it over with instantly and move on. There's so much stress, and everything going on as well just hope this will turn out fine.

Week 6

This week while working on our 20 percent project, we haven't done much. We had Spring Break last week and not a lot was accomplish this week at all. We tried to communicate with each other but we had no successful meetings to plan out anything that week. This week had gone really fast, lots of tests, homework, and preparation of upcoming labs. I honestly don't even know what to do at this moment, like this whole project and all. It's like a lot of stress and just not knowing if it can be accomplished or not. At a point I feel like giving up and fail this, but to see this in the end it's not worth leaving, more like finishing what has started. That will be my goal in total to finish and complete this! (:

Week 5

This week, we've been working on the whole process of showing people about how being obese shows a lot of risks and can cause drastic changes in life. By the time we were planning to make brochures for people to let them inform of the healthy things and wise choices to make in life. It's either by making eating choices that will help a lot during life or the other choice with exercising and maintaining that level till you've seen results in doing that process. The most easiest ways to loose weight that I've researched in are : getting an account or membership to a online weight loss process, drinking water everyday, eat fewer bites during every meal, eat pears, grapefruit, almonds, chocolate, and beans which help with burning fat. Eating a variety of rainbow colored fruits and vegetables help in this as well, don't buy food which is prepared already, throw away or donate any clothes which don't fit anymore. Hopefully these routines help with loosing weight and feeling great!

Week 4

On the fourth week of the second semester, we've been doing progress on the 20% project. I've been doing research on the different types of diabetes you can get from not exercising which is really surprising. Diabetes means your blood sugar is too high, your body uses this blood sugar to produce energy. Having too much of blood sugar in your body can literally hurt you. Taking care of your diabetes is a healthy way to risks the chances of kidney, eye, feet, legs, and nerve problems in life. The chances of a heart attack or a stroke can also be a way to not risk the chances of being diabetic. There are three easy steps to take care of your diabetes and risks the chances :

  • Be active/ exercise on a daily basis 
  • Eat healthy and right 
  • Take medicines, prescribed by your doctor
In exercising it will lower your blood sugar, which is good in a diabetics life. (:

Week 3

This week on our 20% Project, we've been busy with two projects we have in school, so we've been trying to multitask on the two projects. Our member Heaven has been out for a week since she had to do some personal things to do in Mexicali, so me and Monica haven't really done anything at the moment. I've been doing research of risks of not exercising at all, which include: Coronary Heart Disease, Strokes, High blood pressure, Breathlessness, Flabby body, Little energy, Stiff joints, Osteoporosis, Poor posture, Overweight. These risks can be developed more and more into your generation the lack of energy for your sexual relationship can also have effect of the lack of energy for your children and grandchildren, and being a poor role model. The chart below can show you how people in the world aren't fit and out of shape and the risk factor that kills people more.

Week 1



Well we came up with another idea to do with our project, we will be interviewing people who are inactive or feel like they are and compare and contrast how all these people who we interview and find out how they feel. Contributing to how they feel we will ask them how do they feel when they workout and how they feel about their body and just experiences overall. By having this interviewing with people who think or feel like they're "obese" or "fat" they can think that just being healthy can help with either health and lifestyle. Having a healthy lifestyle can benefit with not developing any diseases or any serious conditions. These are some links regarding the causes of obesity and how to beat it!
