Mid- Term Reflection

During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 
in a variety of activities?  First off, I always have my gym strip and appropriate clothes for P.E. I am usually on time, there has been a couple times I am late because of fundraisers or leadership. I always come to class with a positive attitude and usually take part in the activities we do positively. 

On what days have you participated to your best effort and 
why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why? On fitness days, I definitely try to participate to my best effort. I try to make sure that I keep going, but sometimes I let go. Overall, I do try my best in every class, but a lot more in specifically fitness. I think fitness has also been one of those struggling days, I will sometimes let go. Most of the times, I keep going, but some days I will just let go; I would definitely like to improve this. I've gotten better, but I will definitely make it my best. Fitness can be a struggle sometimes especially when you're tired. It's also harder so you have to try to challenge yourself to do the activity without giving up. This involves a lot of mental thinking and for the most part I am pretty good, there will just be some days that I will let go. 

How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do 
you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?  I contribute to the overall success of the class by being there everyday, on time and wearing gym strip. I bring a positive attitude to the class, and I'm always smiling. I personally feel that your attitude is very important. If you come to class with a negative attitude, you will not do well in class. You have to be positive; good mind, good find. I can guarantee that if you come to class smiling with a  positive attitude, you will enjoy gym 10 times more and find it more fun. I motivate others and cheer people on. I try to encourage others to keep going and not give up; I will sometimes try to lead activities. I always talk to others in outclass, rather it be discussing a game or laughing off at something. I try to make sure everyone is involved and no one is left out. Overall though, I always make sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. 



Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 
physically?  My participation overall is pretty good, I try to put in my best effort. Fitness days are probably one of the hardest, and mentally it's even harder. Physically I have been able to push myself; even if i get cramps or my legs start to hurt, I try to get it to the last second. I try to ignore the cramps or soreness and keep going, especially if there is only a couple seconds left. 


What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 
goals do you have for the rest of the year?  I like fitness activities like the pond run, 40/20, Loco-motion and I also really liked relays. My fitness goals are definitely to get a higher score on beep test, and control myself mentally. Often times if I do give up, it's because my mind says you can't go more. I later often realize that I could've gone longer. My fitness goals for the year would probably be to not let go, and keep going. It would be too change mentally, and not give up because I want too. 

What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why?
Leadership to me does not mean bossing people around, or being the head. Leadership to me means being a role model, and being a listener. Often leaders are portrayed as speaking, and telling people what to do, but as a leader I think that it is very important to listen. There are many leaders in our class; everyone is a leader in themselves. Of course there are people who step up more often, but otherwise we have many leaders. There are often people who help during an activity, or even organize an activity. Everyone in our class is a leader, some just step up more often.

What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are 
you the most proud of so far? I would definitely like to work out more and be more active. I think one of my goals is to get a higher score on beep test and probably to be able to not let go. I know I sometimes let go, and I would definitely like to improve on going till the very end. I also would like to regularly start updating my blog again! Need to get this up and running again! I think I am more open this year, I like to explore new things. I really like that. I participate more in P.E., and work harder in many activities. I am definitely more involved in the activities and motivate others more and cheer them on. 

Finally, what letter grade A, B, C+, C, C- (gulp) best represents the effort you just described? In Grade 10-12 we need an actual percentage as well. :( Like 71%… because…"


Overall, I believe that I deserve a work habit of a "G" and 86% (A), till now for my progress in P.E. And of course God Bless! (:
