This was a short-term solution to my problem, which psychologists say humans pay more attention to rather than long- term solutions (Hilliard City Schools "Unit 1: Making Healthy Choices" page 7). isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770835 2016-12-24 20:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770835 isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770905 2016-12-24 20:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770905 The Dentist found that my wisdom teeth, growing in irregularly and pushing on my molars, was what caused the pain. isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770933 2016-12-24 20:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770933 Though I was hesitant to have surgery after thinking it through I knew that I should go through with it. The reason I was unsure about getting the surgery was from evolutionary instincts to only think about immediate concerns, which I overcame by being aware of long-term benefits (Hilliard City Schools "Unit 1: Making Healthy Choices" page 8). isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770978 2016-12-24 20:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144770978 A major long-term effect of deciding not to have my wisdom teeth removed was my teeth would no longer be straight after going through years of braces, and a short term effect was continuing to have pain. This shows the "Domino effect" of decision making, which is when positive or negative events occur from one event or decision (Hilliard City Schools "Unit 1: Making Healthy Choices" page 7). isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771011 2016-12-24 20:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771011 These negative outcomes are what made me decide to get my wisdom teeth removed isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771047 2016-12-24 20:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771047 Why I'm Glad I got Them Out isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771064 Although it did involve surgery and it was not technically a life or death situation, I defend the choice I made because I am no longer in pain and my parents didn't have to waste their money on getting braces for me by having my wisdom teeth push them out of place. ]]> 2016-12-24 20:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771064 isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771092 2016-12-24 21:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771092 isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771096 2016-12-24 21:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771096 isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771103 2016-12-24 21:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771103 isabel_manche https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771151 2016-12-24 21:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/isabel_manche/bcmgp2q2fmhv/wish/144771151
