Construction Workers

Thing I think about:

Lately I have been completely impressed with construction workers. I feel that everyone assumes they are .... not of great moral standard and looks right past the fact that they can do awesome things like build roads! Seems simple... but do YOU know how to build a road?? I don't. I don't even think I could build a paper air plane let alone understand all of the math, materials and planning that goes into building a structure from the ground up! I for one, am impressed.

I have come to the conclusion that health teachers all over the world are confused. We, as humans, actually experience two sets of puberty. Stick with me. The first is the super uncomfortable one that involves lots of growing, hair and general years of "awkward stage".
The second set of puberties happens in you mid 20's. This one is when your body begins to resemble that of your parents(generally of the parents that you match in gender). I have been discussing the difference in high-school body vs. senior year of college body with a friend ...... much different. It's almost like our bodies are prepping themselves for children, mini-vans, and diets. If it hasn't hit you yet, get ready. You will look down in the near future and realize that you are quickly becoming much more pear-shaped that you ever thought you would. Or maybe that arm hair is beginning to migrate to the smooth under part of your forearm, one dark hair at a time(boys).
