Body-Mind-Spirit

“Take responsibility for your own body, mind and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.”-Mr.C.S. Haymore

The statement “ Take responsibility for your own body, mind and spirit, for your own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being” explains that if you don’t take care of yourself your physical mental, and spiritual well-being won’t be well either. If you don’t don’t take care of you body then your mind won’t function well either. It also goes the other way around if your mental health isn’t well then your physical health won’t be well. Although if you have no spirit than both your physical and mental health won’t be good. For instance, when you don’t have any spirit than you are all down you don’t want to do anything and just wanna lay in  bed. Then you won’t be able to think straight. If you decide to skip breakfast and don’t have have enough sleep then you will be distracted instead of focusing on what you have to to do. And you also won’t have any spirit you’ll be too tired and to do anything.

School Break Days

School Break Days

On christmas break I ate a lot of food. I spent time with my family. This winter break I saw my grandma for the first time in a long while. She came from Mexico to spend christmas with us. While she was here we decided to show her around los angeles since she hasn’t been here for the longest time. My favorite place I got to go with her was to Universal Studios. The people who went were my sister, aunt, cousins and my grandma. My grandma got on almost every ride with us which pretty cool. Other than spending time with my grandma I also had volleyball practice. We usually worked out in the park and hardly in school. We also went to the beach to work out. We probably ran more than two miles in the sand which was pretty hard but it was even harder to play beach volleyball.Other than the stuff I did while my grandma was here and practice I was pretty much in bed eating and watching T.V.
