7th Journal Entry.

Review the results of your personal health assessment and write your realizations and plans about your health in your journal.

After I have red the readings about "Respect For Health" I realized that drinking too much alcohol can harm my body. It can make my heartbeat stop. It can make my body lose my temperature. Or it can cause a cancer in the liver. And I realized that it`s okay to drink. But not too much. Abusing our body isn`t cool. We have to take good care of it before we realized that we`re already dying because we already abused our body. :]

The Most Challenging Thing I Have Ever Accomplished..

is learning how to drive! :P Driving is not that easy.. You have to focus and be dedicated to what you are doing. My uncle taught me how to drive. He`s the youngest brother of my father anyway. The first car I drove was Kia Picanto :P He started teaching me when I was in 3rd yr high school. :) Since I`am spending my summer in Bulacan, I asked him if he can teach me how to drive. And boom! He did :D At first, I thought I wouldn`t be able to learn how to drive. It`s hard. Really hard. But then again , if you are dedicated to your work, you`ll learn how to even if it`s hard. :) I started driving on our subdivision, since it`s automatic, I don`t have to exert effort in my driving. :P I was nervous because I was only 15 years old then. :P But since I`m willing, I learned how to drive in just 3 days :D But my dad wouldn`t allow me to because I`m still a minor pa daw. Aww. Too bad. :[ But the thing is, I already accomplished one of my goals :D

Wee. :)
