Yesterday, March 14th, Alden High School hosted a Wellness Day. During the day students went to different workshops that they got to choose from. Some examples of these workshops were Essential Oils, How to Raise a Therapy Dog, Open Fitness and many more. I personally chose Dating Violence, Army Fitness Test and Open Fitness. All of them were fun and informational. In Dating Violence I learned what an abusive relationship is and how physical assault was only a fraction of what it is. In the Army Test I challenged my body to do its best as we did a basic PT (Physical Training) workout that included Push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, squats, and a competition to see who can do the most push-ups. Lastly was the open fitness. This was just going in our weight room and doing whatever you wanted to do but with one rule, I had to bike a mile. It only took me about 3 min so I was able to do other stuff that I wanted to do and I got stronger by doing so. I would say the day went well even though 113 students didn't show up to school that day or skipped. I would like to do it again next year and hopefully there will be the same or more awesome classes to choose from.
