Abstract: Your students are entering adulthood and are increasingly in control over the decisions that determine their health and wellness. To a large extent they are responsible for what they eat and how active they are. They value this independence and the ability to choose for themselves. They are enjoying their growing freedom and are accepting more responsibility for their actions. One milestone for students this age is getting their driver’s license and often their own car. An analogy of giving students “keys” in order that they can “take the wheel” serves as a metaphor for the overall theme of taking control of their personal nutrition and fitness.
