Statement of Intent

1.         To reduce childhood and teenage obesity in Dallas, TX by increasing physical education in elementary, middle, and high schools.

2.         The subject of obesity in the United States has been a major threat to the health of many because it causes many health problems which lead to death.

3.         With the help of God I am planning to become an elementary teacher. Because of the increase in obesity rates in Texas, I would like to help my future students not only with education but also with their physical lives. Research shows that physical education enhances the learning skills of students.  Therefore,  physical activity and learning go hand in hand.

4.         As stated above,  physical activities help the learning of students as well as their health.  Therefore, this project will benefit the lives of many young children and adolescents by  reducing obesity rates and increasing learning skills.

5.         This projects affects three things which are, people , economics and the environment. People are the ones that will be more benefited out of this because as mention before it increases health and learning skills. Second, economics is a major factor in this projects because there is a need of economical resources in order to pay physical education educators as well as teachers. Lastly, the environment is least affected because obesity and learning skills do not have a clear connection.
