I participate in the activities we do as a class. i have noticed that i found it more comfortable each and every time we would do something as a class, especially in the second semester I was willing to participate and try my best. I also tried my best to encourage others to keep themselves going and motivating them because I thought that was very helpful when I was being pushed to do the hardest I can. My attendance this whole year was great because I only missed out a day and also I am always on time to class with my PE strip, I have never forgotten my PE strip and I always change into other clothes after the block.
I help out in setting up the equipment and putting them away during activities without someone asking me to, for example putting up/away the nets for volleyball/badminton. I have a positive attitude for the activities we have to do and then somedays I dont feel well and dont want to participate but I still do not letting anyone else down and I end up enjoying it. I am honest when we are doing activities because if I werent the whole purpose of the game would start to fall apart and no one would enjoy it. Aswell as my fitness scores I keep them as what I got because I dont want to lie to myself plus that way I wont be able to see the improvements.
In fitness I have seen my improvements rise and then fall . For the t test, my best was 14.5s and my worst was 17.3s. I can hold a plank for about 2 minutes straight and can do 4 proper push ups. I still need to work on my push ups because I haven't seen a difference in them. In the first beep test I got 4.7, then 4.9, then 4.5 and the last one was 5.3. The third score was not my best because it was the first time back from a break and i didnt exercise daily during those days off. I remember last year when we did the hill run I had to take many breaks in between, but this year I only took one break and that was for the furthest set. My heart beat was around 45 beats in 20 seconds and I thought that was good. During the 30 minute run, I think I could have done way better but I still tried very hard and here are my scores:
Fitness has taught me that you dont try to top other peoples scores but your own scores. That is the only way to achieve and get better at something.
I have been eating really healthy since this last month because I want maintain that in the future. I have three proper meals a day. Breakfast I have omelet, at lunch I have a sandwich and at dinner I have a good source of protein with a salad on the side. During breaks I make my own juice including oranges, kale and almonds.
I've been doing blogposts since last year but this year i have written 4 posts. I think I have written a good amount to look back in a while and reflect on them. I have evidence, such as my beep test scores from both years and the amount of time it took me to do the 30 minute run to reflect on aswell. In the future I am planning to join swimming because that is very good exercise and it keeps you fit.
Therefore, I think I deserve an A for my final PE mark because the main aspect is to work hard, participate and motivate others.. and I think that I do all that. I am always on task and dont try to get out of something I dont want to do. Once again I have learned a lot in grade 9and I really enjoyed this years class and having Mr. Vaughan as my teacher!
