A Healthy Change

Natalie Chung

      Health is very important to people. If you are unhealthy, you cannot do anything you want. I got sick very often when I was little, then I started to go hiking and my health became better than before.

      When I was little, I went to see a doctor many times a month. I ate medicine almost every day. I could not live without tissue because I always had the runny nose. I remember that we had a family trip every year. We planned that trip for very long time and I was very excited. However, I got a fever the day before we went on the trip. Then we canceled the trip. I felt so sad about that.

      My mom thought that I was too easy to get sick, so she decided to take me to go hiking every weekend. Every child could sleep very late in the weekend, but I had to wake up early. I always cried when I woke up. No matter whether I cried or not, I had to go. Then if I cried when I woke up, my mom would scold me all the morning. I hated to go hiking very much during that time.

      Although I did not like to go hiking, it was a very good exercise for my health. I went hiking every weekend for about one year and I could feel that I did not get sick so often like before. My mom and I were very happy about that. I could walk very long time and I did not feel tired. I felt that walking on the road with trees besides was very comfortable.

      Now, I rarely get sick. When my friends get sick, I am still very healthy. I do not really hate to go hiking like before. Exercising is a very good way for our health and I treasure my health now.
