This semester in PE 10, my attendance/punctuality/readiness to participate has been perfect except for one day when I was sick. I always bring my gym strip, arrive on time and am prepare for whatever we do that day.
This semester, I feel my fitness has only slightly changed a bit. I am a lot more fit than in the beginning of the semester, however over the semester, I noticed that my results have somewhat stayed the same. I find it a bit disappointing that I couldn't improve the way I wanted, but I have learned a lot of different ways of improving my fitness. Although I won't be taking PE 11 next year, I will definitely apply all the knowledge I've learned this semester to stay active, healthy and fit in the coming years.
A lot of the fitness this year included running, which is my main weakness. Although I should have improved because there is so much running involved, maybe I didn't push myself hard enough. I found that I did better on the exercises like the "Triple Threat", "Loco Locomotion", Stations, and "30 Sec. On 30 Sec. Off".
I think I contribute quite a bit in class. On certain days I may feel a bit tired and need some encouragement from friends to participate a bit more. Normally, however, I try and participate in all the classes. I cheer on my classmates and bring positive energy. During fitness (for example during the Beep Test), I cheer on my friends who are still running.
Physical Education is, just like for most people, really important in our lives. We get lazy at times but we need to remember that we have to stay fit to stay healthy and not just eat healthy. I'm not as physically active as my peers, but I do try my best to stay fit. Already now, my dad has started taking my sister and I on bike rides outside for bit. We always go to a majority of different parks. In the winter I also go skiing, which I really enjoy. But I know this is not enough for me to stay completely fit all my life. I think after this last year of PE in school, I will have a bit of a harder time staying fit the way I wish to. I'll most likely end up getting stuck at home doing homework a lot and studying for tests as we are now moving to our last years of high school. But I think I might just try harder knowing that I don't have PE in school and I can only do this on my own. I'll try really hard to participate in physical activities outside of school, by for example going to the YMCA.
Some barriers that might keep me from achieving an active lifestyle are most likely school, homework, and maybe laziness. With us all going to grade 11, all our studies become more and more important. I also really want to get into a good university and of course get the best grades I can get. So homework and studies will be my biggest barrier. The other would be laziness. I think when we have free time form school, we want to relax and just do nothing at all. So going out, exercising and getting tired is not going to be the first thought going through my mind. If I find a friend or someone to go out with, I'd be more driven to work on my physical activity.
I think the grade might actually deserve an B in PE this term, because I'm always in class. I arrive to class on time ready and with proper gym strip. Also, I try my best in class and during fitness. I've improved on a lot of the fitness activities. I pushed myself the hardest I could when we did fitness and tried to go as far as I could even when I felt tired. I understand that I'm not the most athletic person in the class, but I know what I'm capable of and how I could improve. I am also determined to get better after this year. That is why I think I deserve an B.
