Hello and welcome to Addai's Blog. My name is Benedicta Owusu-Addai. I am currently a senior at Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. I will be getting my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Studies with emphasis on Pre-Occupation Therapy. I will also be getting my minor in biology upon graduation. I choose health studies as a major because it's been my desire to educate people about the essence of living a healthy lifestyle and as a health educator I will be able to make an impact in my community by helping people achieve the maximum quality of life. I have a great interest in Public Health and I plan on also getting my master's in that area to broaden my knowledge about public health.
I was born in Ghana, West Africa and relocated to the United States when I was fifteen. I lived in Houston, Texas for 10 years before relocating to Arlington, Texas last year. I am the fifth child out of six siblings. During my leisure time I like to cook, read, watch movies, online shop and I love spending time with my family and friends. I am taking this class because I want to learn more about women's health and the many disease that affect our health but are not given much attention. My expectations in this class is to be able to acquire more knowledge about the factors that affect women's ability to access proper health care worldwide. One thing that I believe makes me unique from others is my nurturing personality and my passion to serve others.
Addai,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your perspectives as the class progresses. I also enjoy cooking...I've even had dreams of being the "Chopped" champion. ;)
I recently read that there are over 100 ethnic languages in Ghana? Is this true? For some reason, I've always been fascinated by language. I studied Latin in school, and learned (informal) Spanish as an adult. I've always secreted wanted to speak at least 5 languages! It's on the bucket list...
Addai,
ReplyDeleteI love your post and what you are trying to do to help educated people about the health issues in the world. Everyone should be educated about health and the preventive ways we can help ourselves. Health living should be a major priority for us all, it only benefits us in the end. Living health is a way to control many illnesses that alot of people are developing due to poor eating and exercise habits. Your post is great!!
