As teen viewers reach an age when they begin to make more of their own lifestyle choices, this series will help them form healthy habits that are critical to inspiring a lifelong interest in living well. Personal educational messages this quarter include take the time to think about how you react to obstacles. Shifting your perspective when faced with an obstacle often results in a positive outcome; When it comes to your health, it does not matter where you start, it is where you land that matters.
