In times of trouble, governments turn to propaganda to persuade their civilians to stay positive. After the onset of WWII in Britain, The Ministry of Information was given the task to create a set of three propaganda pieces that worked to boost morale. Of the series, two displayed "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution; Will Bring Us Victory" and "Freedom is in Peril; Defend it with all Your Might," while the final read "Keep Calm and Carry on." The first two were displayed around the streets of Britain. The final was only to be released if Germany invaded Britain, and as it never happened, it ultimately was never viewed by the public.

One of my best friends, who was on the track team before, told me how painful and gruesome the amount of exercising we had to do was. Because of this annoying but helpful fact she told me, I started going to the gym. At that time I wasn't a member of a gym. The next day I asked my parents for a membership at the gym, the Y.

At the start of my freshman year of highschool, I reluctantly enrolled in a weight training class. Coming into the school year, I was on the verge of being morbidly obese and at risk for my family’s history of diabetes and hypertension. It was scary at first; I was always afraid of people judging the way I looked or the amount of weight I could lift on the bar. After several months of beginner lifting, I took a big step forward and bought a gym membership to lift weights outside of school.
