Reflections: Weeks 11 and 12

Hi guys!! The last couple weeks have kept us busy with our advocacy project and last documentary.  The school year is really starting to wind down!

Week 11
This week in class we watched the documentary "Unnatural Causes".  This was one of my favorite documentaries.  I am going to school for health care management and this was relating a lot to my major.  It was crazy to see the years difference for life expectancy in just one city!  During this week we also talked about how to use the THOMAS feature for our advocacy project.

Week 12
This week in class we were assigned another section of our advocacy project.  We had to choose a topic from Healthy People 2010.  I chose increasing long-term care for older adults.  It was hard to find a bill that directly related to only this topic, but I did find one that worked well.  I am interested to see what other things I will find out about this topic the more research I am able to do.  Also we got our reusable bags from Super One!! I can't wait to go grocery shopping and actually be able to use it! It will feel good!  It was really fun to see what topics everyone else chose.  There is a good variety and a lot of creative topics.

    I like your topic for your advocacy project. Your review is really good! I loved that we all got those reusable bags from Super One. We already have a bunch at my house, but I always forget them, so I want to keep this one in my car so I won't forget it!

  3. Kaileigh,
    I'm also glad we got the reusable bags from Super One! Very excited that we can use them instead of paper or plastic bags when shopping! I think your advocacy project is an interesting one and I'm interested to learn more about it! Keep up the good work, the semester is almost over=)
