Lifelong Wellness Application Paper
Write a paragraph on each of the following:
1. What did you learn about "lifelong wellness" from taking this General Education class?
Through taking golf I learned a lot about lifelong wellness. I learned to not only better my game of golf but a new form of exercise that will help me stay healthy for the rest of my life. Golf has helped me work my back and arm muscles through swinging the club and ultimately making me stronger. I learned how to be more active and loved being outside able to improve my game.
2. How would you apply this information to your life?
I would apply this to my life by playing golf and exercising. When playing the game of golf instead of getting a cart I can simply walk and get more exercise. I plan on getting out more and playing golf with my family which benefits me in two ways. I get to exercise and spend time with the people I love.
3. What is your intention to continue to practice what you have learned in your life and why?
I plan on continuing to play sports. I love to play sports and golf is a game that I'm still learning and something I enjoy playing. It's not only fun but it benefits me health wise as well. Sports and golf teaches dedication that will follow me through the rest of my life. You have to be dedicated to learn the game it's not easy it takes practice. Life takes dedication to achieve the goals we all have for are self.
4. General ideas for improving this course?
Something that I think could improve the class is actually getting out and playing some holes. I think the class would be a lot more fun and rewarding to actually get out and put everything you have learned into use.
