 Hi all!      We all know about the 30-minute to an hour-long period that we spent in elementary, and maybe middle school where we were required to exercise as part of our curriculum. However, as we transitioned into high school, started to lose that period during the day. As a result, some of us started to lose that critical exercise that can be so beneficial to our health. Even the younger kids, nowadays, are starting to lose out on some of that time due to requirements about other subjects like mathematics or English and reading.       As a result of the pandemic and life going online, or distance from one another, many kids did not have any time during the day when they were doing physical activity.      " The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that children between ages 6 and 17 engage in one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day" ( link )     " Physical education is chronically u...

 I'm curious about how the role of a mentor changes throughout the show. Not necessarily how the mentor changes, but perhaps how what the mentor wants to impart changes. Within the Good Doctor, Glassman starts as a logical check for Shaun. However, as the show progresses, he changes into a more emotional check and helping Shaun recognize his feelings. I think that after group work, the values within the show are still relatively the same. But I am recognizing that within the topic of diverse characters, there can be those that are diverse in terms of their skills. Glassman is incredibly softspoken and is effective at communicating with Shaun. Neil Melendez, on the other hand, is incredibly logical as is Shaun. Lea is a character that shows initial conflict between her heart and her brain. I think this group work reaffirmed my belief about how diversity and variety is valued in this show

 Hi all! I watched the show The Good Doctor  with my family this past year. Within the cast, there are ethnically, ideologically, and socially diverse characters that all contribute to the surgical team at St. Bonaventure Hospital in San Jose, California.  The story follows Shaun Murphy who has Autism and Savant Syndrome. Shaun is inventive, and his novel and creative ideas are often heroic and life-saving. However, outside the context of his profession, his ideas can be socially unacceptable or inappropriate. In the first episode of the show, Shaun feels that it is an appropriate idea to steal a knife from airport security, albeit with good intentions(video is below). Eventually, he gets that knife and creates an incredible one-way valve apparatus which helps to stabilize the patient until they arrive at the hospital. Initially, he struggles to empathize with patients and their families, but he eventually gains some experience as the show progresses. His struggles with o...
