Identify each of the nine dimensions of wellness in this passage about Alex, and discuss the character’s health status in the appropriate wellness dimensions related to this passage. What strategies could the character (Alex) apply to improve health status for each of the dimensions of wellness? Alex is 19 years old and just started their first semester at university. Before enrolling, Alex lived at home with their parents, who took care of Alex’s every need-food, finances, scheduling, etc. Alex didn’t particularly want to come to university, but it was Alex’s parents’ dream for their child to go to university, so Alex felt they had to. Alex moved away to come to university and is now living near campus in a small apartment and is sharing a room with one other roommate. Alex has never shared a room or been away from their family before.Alex is taking a year of general studies but finds classes very challenging. Alex didn’t get the best marks in high school, but their marks were just enough to get into university. After studying very hard, Alex just got back their midterm marks, and they failed every single one. Alex decided not to share this information with their parents because Alex worried they would be upset.Because Alex is used to living with their parents, Alex has never had a job or had to pay bills until now. At the beginning of the semester, Alex was given $3,000 in student loans. Alex thought this would be enough to last the whole semester without getting a job. By October, Alex had spent all of the loans and did not have enough to pay their rent. Alex did not want to get a job and decided to get a credit card and took cash out of their credit account to pay their rent. Since doing this, Alex has been receiving weekly calls from the bank and has maxed out their credit card. Alex does not want their parents to know this or their midterm grades because Alex doesn’t want them to be disappointed. This is weighing heavily on Alex because they are close to their parents and usually tell them everything.Alex loves the gym. They go anywhere between 6-7 times per week and track their workouts, reps, calories burned, weight, and food intake. Alex doesn’t do any cardio-specific exercises and solely focuses on heavy lifting. Alex has previously competed in a body-building competition and wants to maintain and improve their physique, so they consume many supplements each day; protein, BCAAs, pre-workout, activated charcoal, creatine, and fat burners. Alex posts their workouts on Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok and thrives off of the interaction. Alex also spends a lot of their free time on social media and feels great when their gym-related posts get a lot of likes and worries when they don’t.Alex frequently does multi-day water and juice cleanses, but when they are not, they consume 75% of their Recommended Daily Amounts in protein, 15% in carbs, and 10% in fats. Because Alex goes to the gym so often and is always studying, Alex does not sleep a lot and relies heavily on energy drinks and caffeine supplements to get through the day. Alex has a lot of friends from back home, university, and the gym, and they often skip out on studying or chores to see their friends.Arts & HumanitiesEnglish
