Personal Health refers to the wellness of the individual. It is the ability to take charge of your health by
making conscious decisions to be healthy. It not only refers to the physical well-being of an individual but it
also comprises the wellness of emotional, intellect, social, economical, spiritual and other areas of life.

social, spiritual, and physical is key to success in college and beyond.
