My masterpiece, fitness transformation. Documenting the struggle, the commitment and the ethic of people who are in shape. At the moment I've been reading articles about how and what people have done to motivate themselves and commit to the change. Im in shape but I am not "FIT". Being fit and what the girls drool over is being fit.

My network
Shane, Gabi, Carlos and summer all have topics that made me curious to what they're going to end up doing for their final master piece. What made me curious about shanes is that he is studying how music makes you emotional and I've always been a big fan music because every song has a story unless its modern hip hop/rap (which only consist of money, drugs, alcohol and sex). Music has helped me change my point of view or perspective on the paths that I choose today and further down the road. Gabi is doing her masterpiece on compassion, I may look like a big jerk but I'd lend the shirt off my back to anyone that needed it. I feel like our generation lacks compassion and commitment because what ever they want is simply handed to them. Carlos and his masterpiece of muscles and boxing has me really interested because im always looking for a good work and boxers are usually in fantastic shape. Maybe we could try each others workout plan for a month and document any changes?

Peer review
So I looked at five blogs that my peers have controlled and I was only impressed by one of them. Dale is straight killing it in our expository class! Every assignment done. Literature analysis done. Creativity check. Passion about what he is posting is there to! I'm going to start using his blog when I need a little help. The others were good, but dales blog was way better.

With a little help from my friend
A semi expert that I have as a resource is my buddy and gym partner tim. Tim is currently a student at allan hancock community college but is taking three different types of health clases (even though he wants to become a diesel mechanic). He knows what he is talking about and can school me with his muscle and fitness knowledge. Im going to ask him to help with my senior project.

Launch
I am passionate about nursing and helping people who need and want change in their lives. It makes me feel like im doing something to make the world a better and healthier place one step at a time. A personal trainer is also what I would enjoy doing as a career.
I could use the internet to research anything I need information about; nursing, lifting, diet and exercises.
I would like to meet the people that influenced me to start to change my fitness level and interview them to hear their story.
If I could train and live the life of a personal trainer or body builder that would dope as heck.
In order to achieve that I have to reach out to the experts.
