The health issues I
am most concerned about is obesity and Cancer. Obesity is a huge epidemic in
America and more than half of my family is affected by it. Cancer is being seen
more and more every day and my step uncle got it and died and now my aunt has
breast cancer. It directly impacts my family.
I sent out multiple
requests for this interview and I picked the 3 responses to encompass as broad
a range as possible for this survey interview.
The first one we have
is Sheila Roman; she is in her fifties, and also a mother and wife from
California. She is of Native American decent. Her top health concerns are Heart
health, diabetes, and woman’s cancers because these are health problems that
run in her family.
The second woman
chosen for this survey was Jenni Martinez. She is a 30 year old Hispanic woman
working on her Doctorate degree in San Antonio. Her top health concern is
Cancer. She says, “It has no cure and is an almost silent killer.”
Last but certainly
not least is Cara Dawson who is a woman in her forties of Caucasian decent and
a mother of 2. When asked what her top health concern was, she responded with, “Cancer,
Heart Disease, and Obesity.” She feels that there is a direct correlation
between cancer and processed foods. These health issues are killing her loved
ones and destroying the health of many Americans.
After looking at my
health concerns and the concerns of the other women that I interviewed, it
seems as though we all have a lot in common although we mostly come from
different backgrounds. We have deep concern about the health risks affecting
our country and families.
