Wow! How did this year go by so fast? Well we are already at the end of this year and I'm going to have to say it was amazing! Well Active Learning has been a great experience for me. I remeber in Elementary we were playing games like dodgeball and fun games, but when we came to highschool that didn't last anymore. though still somehow we got through this year...I think. So A.L for me has been a great experience. I got to discover new games and explore with new people. I have to say FITNESS is a struggle at first, but soon you start improving and start to learn how to balance yourself. I remember at the start of the year I did horrible on community run and I got something like 35:10! i was so mad that I got such a bad community run time. As the year passed we repeated the same run and soon I got a better time like 25:24! Thanks so much to the people who motivated me. Also things like Pond Run got better and I was able to pace myself and do everything greatly! I remember on the 30 minute run I made a goal to do 6 laps and i was able to! I was amazed! some of my best days have actually been FITNESS days! Sometimes just being outside and running is fun and it actually gets you going. I have to thank Kate most of all for giving me so much support and motivation to do my best! THANK YOU :* Okay back to A.L. So obviously this was new for me and I got to experience some great adventures. Things that I will always remember is playing games like Hide and Seek tag or capture the flag with just the grade eights! I actually really enjoyed A.L this year. Now definitely no one is perfect, but you can always try your best right? I try to do my best in P.E and just be a good sport and try to encourage people! Everyone should try to reach for the stars and not give up :) Though i have to say A.L is a great experience for newcomers and I learned a lot in grade eight! I was so lucky I had such a great teacher who understands you, motivates you and also tells you where you need improvement in the politest way ever ;) I think I deserve and A in A.L because I have improved over the year and have been able to demonstrate my learning. Though there is always space for improvement, you just have to believe :) -Simran <3
