Jake Bustamante Journal #6


11.      I know that studies show that there is a tendency between people’s grades and how much physical activity they are involved in in their daily lives.
22.      I feel confident about the topic because I can think of many ways to do surveys on the Internet and interview people in dining halls anonymously while recording good information.
33.     I would like to know the correlation between grades and people who go to lift weights at the gym every day, just to see if there is a reason for the stereotype of those people not being smart.
44.     I played soccer and tennis my junior year of high school. I thought that I might not have enough time for both commitments and still do well in school. I found that they were my stress relievers and that they helped me do better in school because the busier I am, the more focused I am when it counts.
55.    I believe that physical activity reduces stress, which in turn can help improve one’s focus and attention for schoolwork, which will lead to a higher GPA. I also know that those more adapted to the sedentary lifestyle are more likely to not get work turned in on time and have difficulties with classes.
66.     The group on campus that we are studying is the physically active student body of Virginia Tech.
77.    Active, fit, unstressed, healthy, physical, young.
88.     Young, male, Hispanic, short, Catholic, red-haired, pale.
99.    We are all young, healthy males.
10. In order to keep our information unaffected by more types of students than       others, dining halls will be used to get a wide sampling of the student population. When asking students their GPA, we must also consider the course load they are taking and their major.
