What are some major health concerns that you have?
I have a health history of diabetes and I really don’t want to be obese.

I search the internet on websites like Webmd.com.
5. What do you think is the biggest health concern facing our country?
Obesity.
6. What are some things that you do to help monitor your health?
I try my best to eat right even though I am picky with my food.
7. How would you help get the word out about this major health concern?
I encourage my friends to exercise and to eat healthier
