hey coach!
i read the article about children with high blood pressure (DL;6/24) previous to typing this. how sad! i cannot believe they are recommending testing children for high blood pressure at age 3!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is this nation coming to? i cannot even begin to imagine a childhood like that. my mom had to fight to get me and my brother inside the house when it got dark. i remember video games only being something we played when it rained, or when it got dark. i remember in the summertime we were ALWAYS in the pool or on our bicycles ( i guess i was destined?). it is so sad to think that even though we rely so heavily on computers now as adults, it is the same convenience that is distracting children from being outside with nature, where they belong. on a similar note of high blood pressure, my cousins husband just suffered a heart attack last week, at the age of only 38! they apparently lost him 3 times, totally flat lined! what an awakening for him.
see you in class!
love always,
