5. Why is being active important to you? Being active is important to me because it keeps me busy. I also really enjoy sports and running because it's fun and it gives me a chance to compete and I am very competitive.

6. What advice would you give a student who doesn’t like to exercise? I would tell them to try sports because you exercise without really knowing it then, or if you don't like sports you could try working out with friends. You could also listen to music or watch T.V while you exercise because that takes your mind off of it.

7. What is your favorite wellness unit? My favorite Wellness unit so far was badminton because it was not stressful and it was just fun and I laughed whenever I swung and missed the birdie. I also like badminton because I had never played it before and it was fun to try it out.
