End of the Road...Final Blog

New methods of sexual contraception and chronic diseases are two topics I thought were the most interesting. There are many new alternative forms of birth control pills (like Seasonique), barrier methods (like Lea’s Shield), and sterilization methods (like Essure Micro-implant). Chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes are of great interest to me because I am susceptible developing these diseases. Learning, understanding, and practicing preventive measures such as eating more fruits, vegetables, and grains and exercising regularly will greatly reduce risk for developing chronic disease. It is fascinating how choices we make today can and do affect our health in the long run.

I was skeptical taking this class in the beginning because I thought I had taken a similar class years ago. And now at the end, I am extremely grateful that I did. I’ve learned so much about myself and about being a woman through this course. I have come to appreciate being a woman even more. I feel grateful and lucky to be able to make this journey with my classmates and professors. Thank you!
