EVIDENCE OF LEARNING (include artifacts, photos, videos, drawings, sketches)

My experiences have been the greatest contribution to my creativity. In the beginning of the week, I chose the healthy eating topic for my project. This was because dieting and health eating has been an enormous part of my life ever since I became gluten free in the fifth grade. Every meal and place I go to, I have to watch what I eat. Eating the incorrect food will result in me getting very sick and as result, over the years, I have learned about healthy eating habits and watching what I put into my body. This experience has allowed me to feel passionately about the topic and contribute greatly. Along with my strict diet, my parents have shared articles and books with me with the intention that I will eat healthier to improve my overall energy. I have been involved with athletics ever since I could walk and my parents have supported me at every point along the way. Part of this support is providing healthy food for me. This has taught me that what you eat can improve your abilities in both athletics and school. A different viewpoint has emerged from my parents trying to get me to eat healthy. During discussions with my group, I can provide a different viewpoint and look at the topic from a different perspective. Even though, we changed our topic, my experiences still influence my work. Until my brother left for college, I would take my mind off my schoolwork by playing ping-pong with them during the evenings and weekends. Experiences like this help me connect with the topic and prove more assistance to my group.
