I liked the topic because I never really knew that much about it. My joints are horrible already and I'm still very young. I wouldn't be surprised if I got arthritis eventually! It was very interesting to learn about!

I thought this topic was also really great. This is a HUGE problem in our society, and as health educators, we need to take action to try and prevent more from happening. I liked the crossword, because a lot of these things, I had no idea about. It's crazy that we might not outlive our parents and grandparents! Hard to believe some of these things. Great topic Rita!!!
