You all need water. All living things must have water to survive. Without water, your body would stop working. Water makes up more than half of your body weight. A person can’t survive for more than a few days without it. Why? Your body has lots of important jobs and it needs water to do many of them.

Your body doesn’t get water only from drinking water. But water and milk are the best choices. Other sports drinks, soda, pop, or a fruit-flavored drink, are not good for every day. Why? They have a lot of sugar, which means a lot of calories. But water has no calories! These sweet drinks also may lack the vitamins and minerals found in milk. Lots of foods contain water.

Keith Fitzhugh has always dreamed of becoming a professional football player. He was a new player in 2009, and had already served the New York Jets. One day, the football team called him to be back again. But Fitzhugh refused.
“I know it would be a good chance,” Fitzhugh said. “But you only get one mom and one dad. I’d rather be there for my parents than go for a super star chance.”
Fitzhugh knows that his time with the Jets could last as little as a few weeks. Though he loves football, supporting his family is more important to him. He was unemployed by Jets for months after his last time on the football field. Now he has a steady job as a railway conductor which his parents hope him to have. He lives with his family and helps to support his mother and father. The family is close-especially since the death of Fitzhugh’s younger sister. She died from the West Nile Virus at the age of 14, just as Fitzhugh was starting college.
“That’s why I’m so strong about being around family now,” Fitzhugh said. “Life is short. You never know what will happen. When I was unemployed, my family was there for me. I don’t want to take a risk. I don’t want to lose anything more important for my family again.” For this football player, family comes first.
