How I got to be here is sort of a funny story, which I think deserves illustration. Imagine this: you are a graduate student majoring in Adolescent Education in English, two semesters away from graduation and teacher certification, trying to fulfill a few last requirements. One of those requirements is a health course, and of course, you (I) manage to get into the health course that is intended for and occupied by health teachers. Imagine it!
Given that my graduation timeline will be thrown askew if the class is dropped, I have decided to stick it out. My health class co-conspirator and fellow English major Kristen and I have partnered up to deliver a 30 minute presentation on November 23rd, 2010, on the topic of environmental health. What is environmental health, exactly? you might ask. My honest answer is that I haven't quite figured that out yet. The purpose of this weblog is to familiarize myself with the study of environmental health and to understand both the ways local people are affected by the environment and how the environment is affected by them. With the persual of this blog, I hope to come to a clear understanding of the concept by November 23rd.
Check out the links on the right side of this page for an introduction to environmental health. I will be adding to them as I gather more information.
