Goal
My goal is to reduce my Cholesterol this year. When it was taken in October of 2009, it was at 202 - YIKES for someone 29 years old. My goal is to get my Total Cholesterol down to 190. For every point I reduce my cholesterol, I will contribute $25 to ATC. I have given up beef, pork, and shellfish for 2010 to help me reach my goal. I will also continue to exercise often and eat a healthy diet and keep a diary of food confessions on this website. I will have my cholesterol level tested every month to gauge my results!
I chose this goal because
Because the lady that took my cholesterol yelled at me and said I needed to do something about it - that my cholesterol has been at this level for 2 years and if I come back next year with high cholesterol she is going to be really mad at me. Yes, I am scared of her. Also, I don't want to be on cholesterol-reducing drugs like some people in my family.
I'm helping because
I am helping ATC because it is a true grassroots organization that has a dedicated staff that is helping homeless people by developing real human relationships. We all know that just money can't solve long-term problems like homelessness or drug use, which often go hand-in-hand. It takes a long-term dedicated effort with personal interaction and trust. I have met some of the people that ATC has helped, and they lead amazing and fulfilling lives, something they thought was impossible and far away a few years ago. Thanks to the staff of ATC for believing in their clients every day.
About At The Crossroads
ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.
