School and Childhood Obesity
By David Kraft
Many parents struggle to get their children to lose weight, often resorting to forcing diets and exercise on their children who want nothing to do with the different food and additional exercise. This often strains a relationship between parent and child and can lead to feelings of resentment and depression in youth. Educating children about the problems associated with obesity also appears to not work well as children continue to be less active, despite a growing body of knowledge showing that activity is essential to healthy living. Weight loss camps are successful because they remove children from their normal environment. However, attempting to make drastic changes at home is often much more difficult because of factors that most parents fail to consider.
Beyond diet and exercise, there are a number of factors that contribute to the growing obesity problem. The social environment that surrounds children today can be a factor in negatively influencing your child and/or reinforcing bad health habits. For example, consider the notion that public schools are often underfunded and use revenue from vending machine companies who pay to place their machines in the schools to make up some of the difference.
When was the last time you saw a vending machine that did not have any junk food in it? I can't remember either. Yet, our schools are packed with vending machines that are full of junk food that kids consume on a daily basis. Sure, some of the options in vending machines are healthier than others, but kids really can't win with any of them and how many of us would have passed up a candy bar for a pack of nuts when we were in high school? That's what I thought
Also think about the amount of time that children have to eat lunch at school. Most schools have a lunch period that is somewhere between 15 and 40 minutes long. This time includes time to eat but many people often forget about the other things kids have to do during this period like get to and from class, go to the bathroom, go to a locker, wait in line for food, and so on. This translates to very few children actually having enough time to eat a healthy lunch. Instead, many kids opt to eat foods that are easy to eat and quick - which generally are high calorie foods, sodas, and so on.
The point here is that there are more factors to consider when trying to fight childhood obesity than most people realize, which is why many parents have a hard time getting their child to lose weight. No matter what you do at home to help your child, there are still plenty of times where you will not be around to enforce a strict diet, which is why children need to learn how to make healthy eating choices on their own. A great place to learn these skills is a summer weight loss camp for kids. These camps are great because they get kids away from the daily hustle and bustle and allow them to completely concentrate on learning how to better take care of themselves.
Can you read and correct my essay, please? It’s for a college application?
*Instruction: WRITE A 500 WORD ESSAY OUTLINING YOUR EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER GOALS AND THE REASONS FOR YOUR CHOICE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMME.
ESSAY:
My life-long career goal is to become a physical therapist, someone capable of restoring, maintaining, and promoting overall fitness and health in accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions. Education is the key to my goal. I will attend the University of ****** and be educated. I will make my mind a sponge, soaking up every fact it encounters. In school and out of school, my ears, eyes and heart will be open to learn new things, and gather new facts. I will knit these facts and experiences into a final product: a tapestry of education. While my educational goal is aimed at studying to become a physical therapist, I would also like to express my passion for science (especially biology) and computers. In order to do so, I plan to, first, obtain a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology, and then enter and succeed in a refined physical therapy programme. I may even want to make use of my bachelor’s degree by working in a laboratory before studying towards obtaining a degree in physical therapy. I believe it would be a worthwhile experience and broaden my horizons so that I will not be limited to just one career. Each degree I earn will not only make me eligible for colleges or jobs, but will declare a set of knowledge gained.
I chose biotechnology because it has made a great impact on medicine, the environment, edibles, clothing and agriculture. A biotechnology programme will allow me to utilize the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering computers and information technology.
I have always found it interesting how humans have expanded their understanding of the biosphere by journeying into space and exploring the depths of the ocean, and not only have they been able to look at the surrounding universe and the depths below with the advancement of tools and techniques, but they also have been able to live there. Also, I have always found it interesting how beneficial microorganisms – which we cannot see with the naked eye – are, from controlling or curing certain diseases to producing foods and other products. These interests of mine are due to the application of biotechnology.
I chose physical therapy because it is through that programme, I can be in a profession where I will not have to sit at the desk all day, and have the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I like the fact that physical therapists get to interact with their patients one-on-one, helping them stretch and do a variety of therapy exercises, teaching them how to walk and use their bodies again, coping with a chronic disease such as multiple sclerosis, and reducing pain.
Jobs are available to physical therapists in a variety of health-care settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home health care and private practices. Physical therapists are in demand as people are getting older and physical disabilities are increasing. Physical therapists earn a good salary. This will make it easy for me to get a job that pays well by the time I complete my studies.

Help, I really need your help???
Well, my mom just started a make-up course and she already has a new project: a biography on a celebrity make-up artist. She needed my help on it so I helped her. I just finished typing it up. But I have a problem both my mom and I don’t have a source to go to help for. I mean, we both aren’t very good when it comes to english grammer. So, if you’re kind enough please correct the grammatical errors, commas, run on sentences and just anything out of place. Please help me because I have no where else to go to get help for this. So here is the biography
Kevyn Aucoin was a wonderful makeup artist who saw natural beauty in many and helped accentuate their features.
He was born on February 14, 1962 in Shreveport, Louisiana at a Catholic Charities Home for un-wed mothers.
His mother, Nelda Mae Sweat, was a scared pregnant sixteen-year-old with strict Baptist parents. His father, a handsome football player named Jerry Burch, didn’t believe that the baby was his.
He was only a month old when he was adopted by an Aucoins family name. Kevyn grew up in a small town, Lafayette, with three other adopted brothers and sisters. At the age of eleven, he began making up his little sister Carla into a disco diva. While Carla was his source of inspiration, Barbara Streisand was his subject for painting and sketching.
Kevyn realized he was gay at an early age. It was hard fitting in a small town like Lafayette. Kevyn instantly became a target for his classmates. He was tormented physically and verbally.
At the age of 16, he moved out with his friend Glenn. Since neither of them had a job, they relied on their parents for food and other necessities.
One night Kevyn and his friend Glenn met a drag queen. Kevyn became mesmerized by the power of makeup he had seen on this drag queen. Soon enough, Kevyn started inviting more drag queens over to his apartment to do their makeup. That September, Kevyn had to start junior high again. As soon as he began, the physical and verbal tormenting started again.
Kevyn received death threats at school and he was beaten with rocks. One time two teenagers even tried to run him over with a truck. Finally, he dropped out of high school at the age 15. After he dropped out from high school he thought he would definitely fit in beauty school. 1978-1981. Kevyn asked his father for $900 to cover the tuition but Kevyn soon discovered that it turned out to be a waste of time and money because he knew way more than the teachers when it came down to makeup and hair both combined. Soon, he found a job behind a cosmetics counter at a local department store.
Following Kevyn’s break up with his boyfriend Glenn, he moved to New York where he found work doing make-up for a porn magazine called Cheezy.
Within a year, Kevyn was hired to work with Meg Tilly on a Vogue shoot. It was a milestone for Kevyn because he started working with models such as Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and celebrities including Tina Turner and Cher. Over the next couple of years, Kevyn did make-up for 18 covers of Vogue and 7 for Cosmopolitan.
During the 1990s, Kevyn refused to promote products for Vincent Longo and Laura Mercier because he was only going to receive 5% of the profits. Instead, Kevyn launched a new line of beauty products, the Kevyn Aucoin collection, which he was going to launch on his own web site–keyvnaucoin.com.
Kevyn’s make-up style truly defined the nineties. He brought out the beauty with classic touches. Kevyn had a unique vision that was completely transformational. He could completely “erase” someone’s features, and create a new face. He could glam up anyone, turn men into women, bring back faces from the past, and add shadow, texture, and features that were non-existent.
Kevyn’s advertising work for Ultima was the result of “Naked”, a line he helped to design and he also had been hired to revamp for Shiseido.
1994. Kevyn wrote three books: The Art of Make-up, Making Faces, and Face Forward.
1995-1998. In 1995 the Council of Fashion Designers gave him the only award that they had ever given a make-up artist.
In 1997, Making faces made it to number 1 on the New York Times best-seller-list.
In 2001, he played himself in the film The Intern, he also played the part of a make-up artist in the film The Zoolander, (2001). Later on in 2001, he played himself in two episodes of the t.v. show The Sex and the City.
October 2001, just a month before launching his own cosmetics line, Kevyn was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He died May 2002 due to kidney and liver failure.
I already did. it shows no mistakes but ms word doesn’t show alll mistakes.
Pretty good. Since this is for a make-up class it should be alright. You do need one more paragraph or at least a sentence at the end. A closing one, that summarizes the bio. – like-
K. A. was more than just a make-up artist, and will continue to be remembered as a talented creative individual whose colorful lifestyle and exception imagination continue to leave their mark on the cosmetic industry even today.
This will leave the reader with a positive feeling, not a creepy hospital death one, as well as remind them why they read the paper.
Also, if using Microsoft word, before typing go to TOOLS on the top menu, hit Options, select the Spelling and Grammar File, hit Settings (underneath writing style) and then check and change things as needed. You can hit re-check document to do so.
