Interview

I interviewed my grandfather from my Mom’s side. His name is Richard Mills. He was born January 30, 1940 in Beverly Hills, California. As a kid, Papa explained that he was fairly healthy. He said he was constantly involved in sports involved and that sports kept him active and healthy. The following are the questions I asked him and his responses.

What was your first car and how old were you when you got it? My first car was a 1953 Mercury and I was 17 when I first got it. It took me a little time to afford it. It

cost $85-$90.

Where did you grow up? I grew up in Beverly Hills, California and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Were you healthy as a kid? Yes. I played sports every day so I think that is why I stayed healthy.

What kind of foods did you eat? I ate whatever was served to me whether I liked it or not. My family would have dinner at a certain

time and whatever my mom made the family, we ate it.

What was your favorite food as a kid? My favorite food was roast beef with mash potatoes, green peas and apple pie. That is the perfect

meal to me. My mom made the best apple pie. Back then people really didn’t think much about what they were eating.

Interview

Were kids over weight when you grew up? Some kids were overweight but not as much as now days. The biggest kid I knew

was 6’2” and 240 pounds. But that was in high school.

Did you think about eating healthy when you were little like people do today? No, I never thought about it. My mom might have thought about it when she

planned the meal . Back then, there were no freezers. Since we didn’t have a way to freeze our food everything was fresh and prepared the same day that you bought it. Also, there weren't as many fast food restaurants as we have now so that wasn’t an option. So we were eating healthy without even thinking about it.

Did people go on diets when you were a kid? Yes, but not like today when you see a weight loss advertisement everywhere you

go. I was put on a diet when I was 11 by the doctor and I lost 15 pounds afterwards. People ate better than today so being over weight was not that common.

Interview

What was a typical lunch for you while you were in school? I always took my lunch to school everyday in a brown paper bag. I had three types

of sandwiches that were packed for me. I either had PB&J, Tuna or Bologna and either anapple or an orange and if I was extremely fortunate, I would get a cookie.

Did food have nutrition labels? No, food did not have nutrition labels.

Was there PE when you were in school? Yes, there was a PE class but I did not have to take it because I played football in the

fall and baseball in the spring. Because I was athletic, I did not have to attend PE class.

Did you exercise daily or on your own time? Yes, I exercised daily but not to lose weight. Since there were no TVs or computers,

there was no such thing as a couch potato. Everyone had to do something to keep themselves occupied. Everyday I would get my friends together and play a baseball game in my front lawn after school. When I started to get older in high school, I exercised daily to get better at the sport I was playing at the time but none of the exercises were to make me lose weight or become skinnier. We just got out and played because there was nothing to do inside.

Interview

Do you have any health issues now? I have had a few but nothing serious. My blood pressure tends to be high so I take

medicine for that. Other than that I am pretty healthy for a guy my age.

Have you ever been injured while playing any sport Oh most definitely. I have been cleated in the shin a number of times.

Have you ever had any surgery? Yes. Unfortunately. All my years behind the plate catching left my knees in pretty

bad shape so I have had both of my knees replaced which wasn’t much fun.

My Great Grandfather

When asking my grandma from my Mom’s side of the family about where our family came from, I found some interesting information about my great grandfather or my grandma’s father. My great grandfather's name was Theodore Jaehn. He was born November 4, 1903 in Germany. He came to America when he was 17 to both start a new life and to avoid the upcoming war in Germany. He came to Ellis Island by steamboat over the sea and didn’t know anyone in America or what he was going to do when he got here. After he came through Ellis Island, he went to Wisconsin because he heard he had a distant cousin there. Sixteen years after my Great Grandfather fled Germany, he became a citizen of the United States of America. He started his life from there. He met his wife and eventually started a family. He went on to become a very successful architect and designed may of the buildings in Downtown Los Angeles.

Family Health History

After reviewing my family tree, I learned that both sides of my family have traits of cancer. My Grandma Wanda, my Dad’s mom, passed away from colon cancer at the age of 63 and my Lama, my Mom’s mother, is a survivor of breast cancer. She was diagnosed at the age of 50. Going further back, I learned that my Dad’s grandfather and my Mom’s grandmother also passed away from various forms of cancer.

Health Triangle Explained

Right now, my triangle is balanced the way it is because I am recovering from a back injury. I broke my back in football and has changed the way that I am able to do things. Before breaking my back, I was always active playing baseball, riding bikes, skateboarding and hanging out with friends. After my injury, I was unable to do the things I used to do. My friends would ride bikes, go to the beach and have sleepovers and I couldn’t go. At first, my friends would call and invite me but I always had to say no so, they stopped calling. My social life dramatically slowed down. Not being around friends and being a normal teenager made me sad and frustrated. It also made me realize that I needed to do whatever it took to recover to get back to my normal life. It also made me realize who my true friends were. I wouldn’t wish this injury upon anyone but I have grown from the experience.

Unique Self

I feel the song Lean On Me by Bill Withers represents me and what is going on in my life right now because at some point in everyone's life, we all need a friend to help us keep going.

The first verse of the song is especially meaningful to me because it’s message is that no matter what is going on today, things will be different and hopefully better tomorrow. I can relate to this because some days I was in pain and left behind because of my back injury, but I knew there were better days ahead. This song shows that if you are positive, good things will come and even though friends might leave you out, they are always there for you in the end.

This song has meant a lot to me this past difficult year.

Unique SelfLean On Me

Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives we all have painWe all have sorrowBut if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry onFor it won't be long'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your prideIf I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needsThat you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry onFor it won't be long'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bearThat you can't carryI'm right up the roadI'll share your loadIf you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a handWe all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'd understandWe all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strongAnd I'll be your friendI'll help you carry onFor it won't be longTill I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

Future Aspirations

One person who has made a positive impact on my life is my 8th grade teacher Mr. Greg Strachan. Mr. Strachan taught me and others valuable lessons on how to get prepared for high school. He was very strict and very hard at times and some days I didn’t want to go to his class. He drilled us on reading, note taking, organization and studying skills. His class was one of a kind and I couldn’t wait to get out. It wasn’t until the first week of 9th grade I realized how fortunate I was to have him as my teacher. I was more prepared for high school than any of my other friends. Because of the things I learned from Mr. Strachan, 9th grade study habits have been no big deal.

Future AspirationsMarch 29, 2010Mr. Greg StrachanMesa Verde Middle School8375 Entreken Ave.San Diego, CA 92129

Dear Mr. Strachan:

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am that I had you for a teacher. When I was in your class I didn’t think I would make it through. I was completely lost. Through the middle of the year I began to understand that you meant business and that we needed to get our acts together because the next year would be the “big time”. I thought your class was so hard and the things we were learning were not that important. None of my other friends in other classes were doing what I was doing.

Even though you told us many times you were preparing us for high school with the workload, note taking and organizational skills, I still did not believe it. It wasn’t until the first week of 9th grade that I got it and I understood what you meant. I actually told my mom that I was so glad I had you for a teacher. Those were words I thought I would never say. That first week we were asked to do just about everything you had told us about. My other friends were shell shocked by what was expected but I was not phased by it. It was like they picked up your class where you left off. I was ready and organized to take on my freshman year.

Even though there were some rough times, looking back it was all worth it and I have you to thank.

Sincerely,

Nick Swafford

5 Years?

In five years, I see myself at college at Cal State Fullerton playing baseball. I would probably be living in a dorm at CSF with a some guys who know and can relate to me on baseball. At college, I would try to start finding a career to make a living off of for later in my life.

10 Years?In ten years, I see myself working as a Rawlings Baseball Company Representative. I will have bought my own house and have gotten married, possibly even having a kid.

Media Awareness

In my opinion, the media decides what is cool and fashionable and what is not. Some people let the media take control of them. For example, a teenage girl is going to most likely want to purchase an item if it was advertised by their idol rather than an ordinary person advertising the item. A lot of skin cream commercials show young, skinny, beautiful actresses putting on the cream and having soft skin. Most likely some woman will purchase the item because she thinks she can look like the actress advertising the item. The media controls what people wear and do throughout their day and it is ruining some peoples lives.

I can see how the media can affect some people but it doesn’t affect me. I wear what I want and what is comfortable for me. I play baseball because I enjoy it, not because the media says its cool. Lastly, I listen to the music I want to listen to because it either soothes me, or pumps me up.
