Health and Service

What to do when your stuck at home. That's something I've been worked on for sometime and found several ways to keep myself occupied. But what I do consistently is walk the dog and cook with my grandmother . I specifically cook with her Colombian theme meals such dishes as rice, beans, omelets, arrepas, tortas, and soup. I also learned how to keep the kitchen clean, how to cut and cook certain meats, and how to use food when there is a shortage. It takes me an hour to cook and clean.

As for walking my dog, I normally walk him around the town in a square, which takes an hour and thirty depending on how he is feeling. Sometimes he stops, not because of tiredness but of stubbornness. He is a very lazy dog and walking him was mostly my time to get out of the house.

What I got from these hours was a sense of direction. It helped me stay focused during a time where it was easy for myself to get lost in your own house by yourself. It taught me to be a global citizen by learning new foods from my culture and exploring places in my town I hadn't seen before. I have a total of 61.5 health and wellness hours.
