Hello my name is Mary Ann Metz. I am 31 and I am from Beeville, Texas. I've lived here my whole life. I am a mother of 5 children, 2 who are step-children and 3 full time. Ages ranging from 3 to 19 yrs old. My husband is older than I am ;) I have been working as a hygienist for 3 years woohoo and i love it! I am pursuing a Bachelors degree so that when I am all prophied out i can teach Hygiene and tell my students all my experiences and what all to do and not to do. I am really looking forward to all the new things I'll be learning this semester. I hope everyone has a great semester! Looking forward to interacting with everyone! 💜🦷

Blog 1: Option 2

I have selected option 2 for my blog and a few questions that stood out to me are, "What is the link between women's education and family size?" and "How many people in the world today are chronically undernourished?" The answer to the first question was educated women have smaller families and the answer to the second was 826 million people are not getting enough food to lead healthy and active lives.

In my opinion the biggest health challenge facing women globally is not being able to make enough money to afford health insurance for themselves especially those with children. Why? I believe its because most women believe their spouse/significant other to always support them and their family. Which causes them to put their education on hold because they tend to focus more on being the perfect house wife and mother.

The health belief about women that I wish would change is the need to have a masectomy because of the risk of inheriting breast cancer. I hope that in time instead of doing a masectomy that an early stage genetic testing can be done to find out if cancer will happen and be able to start treatment as soon as possible in order to avoid a masectomy.
