Meet John Barker
John Barker is a twelve-year boy who lives in London at 19 Green Street. He loves football and photography. He takes beautiful pictures of the places he visits. John dreams to become a professional footballer, but he has problems with sport because of his unhealthy lifestyle.
Three days ago, the doctor said that John has 10 kilos overweight and he needs to change his eating habits. The boy never has breakfast before school, but regularly snacks on the way to school. As he said: “I go through McDonalds every day, and I can’t miss it because after disguising school lunch my stomach needs something “Yummy”.
John never does morning exercises and always misses PE lessons. His school is situated in 100 meters from his house, so John Barker has minimum physical activity.
When John comes back from school, his computer is waiting for him. He browse the internet, start the game “The Walking Dead” and turns out in a web-soldier, who strikes enemies, gets points and level-up his character. This can happen until the mother calls for dinner. As a rule, the boy is having dinner in front of the TV set watching cartoons.
At school, John is not always a good student, but he wants to be one of the best in the class. After finishing school, he wants to go to London University.
