Goal Setting: Health for ALL
For class James must set a health goal and explain how reaching his goal will help him, his family, and his community. He has asked his sister to help him.
"Becky, how could a person's health affect anyone else?"
"I can think of lots of ways," Becky says.
"Like what?" James asks.
"Cigarett smoking," Becky replies. "If someone in the family smokes, others in the family are exposed. The community is affected, too. Tobacco use means more illness and more health care needs."
"Yeah," James agress, "and more fires and litter."
"Do you understand the assignment better now?" Becky asks.
James nods. He wonders what goal to set.
