Final Blog!!

This year for me was a struggle at the beginning but then getting closer to the end of the term it wasn't so difficult. I have learned a lot during this year and I want to keep learning more! Like how to manage your breath while running and to pace yourself.

At the beginning I wasn't so fit as I am now. I never realised how much that could effect your health. But now I ride my bike a lot, eat really healthy food, go for runs (on my spare time or when I'm bored), and I walk to and from school everyday. This has changed my health and being fit a lot and I want to keep it up, which I will do! Also in the beginning of the year I didn't do so good on my beep test because I didn't push myself to what I could do and just stopped when I started to sweat. But by the end of this year, I have made my score the best I could because I wanted to push myself to the best I can.

I realized as well that when you are trying to get fit, its not about the score you get like the beep test it is about how you can push yourself to succeed. It's also about how much you put energy into it and how you make it fun, not just for yourself but for others. Also you have to make goals and push yourself to achieve those goals or else your just wasting time and not just yours, other peoples to! For the beep test, its about how you can push yourself to the maximum level you can do and make yourself go beyond that level and see how far your body can handle the fitness. You want to improve your skills and not just let them fall behind you because you never know if you can pick them up again and go to the spot you were, you might just fall backwards instead of going forwards.

My attendance for this year was actually really good, I don't think I have missed one day. I am never late, and I arrive to class with a  smile on my face and ready to do whatever is planned. I also bring a lot of positive attitude towards the class because it isn't fun if you're the only one smiling its better to have more people having fun and showing they care about their health instead of being negative towards p.e. My changes to fitness have become way better like I already said, I am pushing myself to the best I can do and sharing it with my friends to show them they can do it and to never give up on yourself. I decided to change my ways for p.e because I realised that I wasn't doing so good and I wanted a change I wanted to see how far I could push myself and see what my body could do.

When I come to class, I am always on a roll. I bring a smile like I said and I bring positive attitude and I make people laugh and I like that because it shows that I care about how others think about the class and for others not to see the negative side. To me being physically active means you're in shape, you eat healthy, and you exercise a lot not because you have to but because you want to keep up your health and keep up that way you smile about how care about how you are in shape. I am ready for independence because I am not always going to count on my friends because maybe in three years we aren't even going to talk to each other and if I only rely on them I am putting myself at risk. I probably won't even know what to do, so its better to be independent now instead of waiting for a change to happen when I least expect it to.

Finally, the obstacles I faced were my mind. My mind would keep on telling me to give up, i'm tired and at the beginning of the year I listened to it. But now, closer to the end of the year my mind has been saying keep going, you can go farther and I listen to that but once it starts to tell me i'm tired I wake myself up and tell myself keep going only a little bit further and I stop listening to my mind because my mind is not my body. My body can handle more and I have to push myself to get that far. The grade I think I deserve is an A because I have learned so much and I have had so much experience coming from not doing so good to doing really good and keeping it going.

  1. Courtney I love your last paragraph. This I think is the key to your continued growth and success. As we talked on the field your attitude change was crucial to your improvements the last few months. I am not sure I would evaluate your entire year as an A but I think as you begin to change your approach and reasons for participating you can totally earn that. I will put the A on the report card but I want to see the best side of you for a whole year next year. :)
