CAROLE E GLASS BUGGY - FITNESS/MIRACLE GROW FOR BRAIN

CAROLE E GLASS BUGGY - 'IT'S TIME...TO BLOOM!'

LOT'S OF QUESTIONS...CHANGES NEEDED...ANSWERS?? EDUCATION IS SO IMPORTANT...GAINING KNOWLEGE THROUGHOUT ONE'S LIFE, DOESN'T HAVE TO END...IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE KEEP ON LEARNING..EVERY DAY. IT ISN'T THE...'MIND OR THE BODY!'...IT'S THE...'MIND AND THE BODY.' WE NEED TO EDUCATE...EVERYONE ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDING: KNOWLEGE/EDUCATION...EXERCISE/FITNESS/SPORTS FOR EVERYONE...NUTRITION/HEALTHY EATING...AND SO MUCH MORE THAT IS NEEDED FOR GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS IN ONE'S LIFETIME. EDUCATION...INCLUDES SO MANY THINGS. WE ALL HAVE IDEAS ABOUT WHAT WE...THINK ARE THE IMPORTANT SUBJECTS IN SCHOOL. IT'S HARD TO GET SOME TO AGREE THAT: MUSIC AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION ARE AS NEEDED AS...MATH AND SCIENCE. EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION...AND DISCUSSIONS/ARGUING/DEBATING...WHATEVER AREN'T GOING TO SETTLE...'MUCH!' HMMM ############# I WAS IN THE CHOIR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE TRAVELED TO...'ORCHESTRA HALL'...IN CHICAGO WHERE WE PERFORMED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF...'CURTIS HANSEN'...WHO DIED THIS WEEK...AT 94. ONE OF MY...'FAVORITE TEACHERS'...WHO NOT ONLY MADE SINGING SO MUCH FUN...BUT ADDED SO MUCH ENJOYMENT TO THOSE...'TEEN-AGE YEARS.' THERE ARE THOSE...'FEW'...THAT YOU...'DEARLY REMEMBER,' AND HE WAS...'ONE OF THEM!' THE WHOLE WORLD...ENJOYS MUSIC...AND SPORTS OF ALL KINDS, AND MANY REMEMBER THAT...'IT WAS IN SCHOOL'...WHEN I FIRST BECAME INTERESTED. YES...YOU WILL FORGET A LOT...ABOUT SCHOOL, BUT CERTAIN FRIENDS/CLASSES/TEACHERS...YOU WILL REMEMBER! CAROLE E 6:15 PM

WATCHING THIS INTERESTING PROGRAM...ON PBS LAST NIGHT...ON... 'EDUCATION'... AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, I HAVE THESE PICTURES. CHANGES...'NEED TO BE MADE'...AND SOON, FOR THIS COUNTRY IS...'SO BEHIND'...IN SCIENCE AND MATH...(26TH?) THAT MANY THINGS...NEED TO BE CHANGED. CHANGE IS HARD...BUT JUST LIKE IN SPORTS...'IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING'...YOU NEED TO...'TRY SOMETHING ELSE!' HMMM. WHO HAS THE ANSWERS? I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS, AND LEARNED QUITE A BIT FROM THIS PROGRAM: 'NEED TO KNOW!' ON PBS. THEY HAVE FOUND THAT...'EXERCISE IS MIRACLE GROW FOR THE BRAIN.' (NOT MY QUOTE) THEY FOUND AN INCREASE IN LEARNING ABILITY WHEN STUDENTS WERE ACTIVE BEFORE THEY TOOK THEIR CLASSES, WITH PHYSICAL FITNESS ACTIVITIES. HERE ARE THOSE PICTURES. IN JUNE THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO: 'PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL ON FITNESS, SPORTS, AND NUTRITION, WITH A NEW EMPHASIS ON NUTRITION AS AN ELEMENT OF FITNESS. FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA ANNOUNCED THE NEW COMMISSION'S GOAL...'TO END THE EPIDEMIC OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY IN A GENERATION' AND ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD NAMED AS NEW CO-CHAIRS OF THE COUNCIL, NEW ORLEAN'S SAINTS QUARTERBACK DREW BREES AND FORMER OLYMPIC GYMNAST DOMINQUE DAWES. (WHY NOT GET PHYSICAL EDUCATION BACK IN THE SCHOOLS...INSTEAD OF DROPPING IT!?) CAROLE E 5:35 PM ON SATURDAY...THE 12TH OF FEBRUARY...2011.
