Final Post For the Year

This year during P.E, I think I've actually done quite well this year. I participated in every class that I was present to, and I participated to the best of my abilities most of the time. I came to class wearing gym strip each day and I didn't sit out of any activities because I didn't want to do it, I always participated. I showed up to most classes, only missing a few classes due to sickness. I can admit that I didn't always participate to the best of my abilities due to a few reasons, such as illness, injuries, lack of motivation or just not liking the activity very much. As for choice days, my choices in what I would do would rely on whether or not I liked the activity and if I knew if I would participate the whole time or not. I would choose the activity that I knew I would enjoy the most and wouldn't stop participating in half way through. On another note, outside of school for my health I try to keep my food choices/diet to a fairly healthy or at least not unhealthy variety. I don't participate in any activities outside of school other than walking to and from school on a regular basis. Even then I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as an out of school activity. Otherwise, I've been watching my diet more intently, trying to keep an even balance between unhealthy and healthy foods, if not trying to keep it more healthy than unhealthy. I've also been trying to be more active outside of school due to myself not being in any kind of activity outside of school. I honestly believe that I've been doing better each year, as my fitness level seems to be getting better, even if it's slowly, but I'm still getting better. But back into P.E class. Inside of class, I don't really do much with others, and I don't really like speaking up, so that has affected my social contribution to the class. Otherwise, I do like to try and cheer others on and try to keep them motivated. As a not so social contribution to class, I'm very kind towards the other students, and I help out whenever I can. On a little side note, I can almost always be found holding the large gym, and sometimes the small gym, door open for everyone. (Not sure if that's a contribution, but I consider it to be a contribution of kindness to the others) And lastly, I'll discuss my blog a little bit. As there's not really much on my blog from this year, there's not too much I can say. I didn't post very much at all, even though I know I probably should have. I wish I would have put more onto my blog, but sadly I didn't and now I don't have very much. So for this part, it's actually really weak, asides from what I was supposed to do. I think I did the assignments that I was told to do quite well. Overall all my time in P.E, I think this year has been my best year. I was quite a weak student in P.E 8, because my fitness was so poor and I was hardly ever motivated to do anything. My fitness got a little better for grade 9, I was a pretty good student in that grade. I stayed motivated enough to participate in everything we did and do all the fitness days. But this year was definitely my best, as my fitness is quite a bit better than last year, and I was really good with being prepared and participating.

Overall, I think for this year I deserve about a 78%/B for a grade.

I actually managed to do my personal worst today on the Beep test. I'm not at all happy with how I did, even if I'm not exactly the healthiest person right now. I may still be recovering from being sick, but I know I could have done better, even in the shape I've been in the past few days.  As for the rest of my results, I think I did pretty well. Not much better or worse than normal. So overall, I was pretty disappointed with how I did during the beep test, but the rest of it was pretty good, so it was a decent day. I will work on my fitness level personally and hopefully I will be able to better myself and be happy with my results next time.

P.E Assessment

During the last couple months in P.E, I think overall I have done a good job in this class. I normally arrive on time, and I always have a change of clothes, and I don't think that I've missed any classes yet either. For participation, I always participate. Maybe not always to the best f my abilities, but I am participating. Also, there is the fact that my fitness has been slowly rising. I used to only be able to do a 4.6 in the Beep Test, but now I'm able to do a 5.4. I think that's pretty good so far. But on a not so good note, I don't participate in really any physical activity outside of school. (Yet, hopefully that will change.) Not participating in any sports or physical activities other than the odd day where I decide to dance, isn't good. If I want to raise my fitness level more, I need to participate in something physical outside of school too. I don't really think my diet has much to do with my mark, but I eat a good balance of healthy foods on a pretty regular basis. I'm not really the type of person who obsesses over junk food and always has the craving to eat it. I like a god balance of healthy food with some junk from time to time.

So (if there was a grade or something asked of me to give you) overall I think that maybe a B or C+ is a good grade for me.

P.E So Far

So far in P.E, it's been quite enjoyable. Though I must admit I started the year off quite bad in terms of fitness and mental readiness.
At the start of the year, and still, my fitness is pretty bad. I'm not able to run for a long time, and I lose my motivation to keep doing fitness really easily. But, I'm working on fixing those issues. The longer I'm in P.E, and the more fitness we do, I'll be able to build up my fitness level and self motivation again,  and hopefully then by the end of the year, I'll have a good fitness level again.
Through the issue of self motivation and my personal laziness and not keeping up my fitness while I wasn't in P.E, I am always ready for class. I bring gym strip everyday, and I always participate. I don't find excuses not to or just walk out if I don't want to do it, I do it anyways. Most of the things we do in class, that isn't fitness, are actually pretty fun.
And for a current mark, I think in work habit I deserve an S, because I think so far I'm a pretty good student, but I could do better, which includes updating this bog more often. And in a grade, probably to start with, a B, since it isn't too far into the year yet and I feel I have been doing well.

I Reached One Of My Goals~! (Final Blog Post Of The Year)

During this year of P.E, I was able to have a lot of fun and even pull my fitness level up more. My fitness scores I guess you would say have gone up, and I am able to endure running for a longer period of time. I was aiming to bring my fitness up this year, which I've been able to do with the help of the Beep Test, Pond Run and the Community Run mostly. I admit I do have a bit of a hard time keeping up with my really low fitness level, but I have some health related issues that make it harder for me to keep/get my fitness up. I have low iron levels, which run in the females of my family, and I injured my back when I was younger, so I get back pain and cramps a bit easily. But, despite that, I am able to keep myself going through fitness, which for me is actually an improvement from over the years.

At first I didn't know anyone and was pretty shy and self-conscious about what I did and said, which lead to me not giving my all during fitness. Slowly I made some friends and got to know the people in our class, which with that I was able to come out of my hard shell of hiding and be myself. I started giving my all during every class, well almost every class. I started trying to motivate others (And maybe I sounded kinda creepy but hey I was trying) which I'm not too sure worked at all. I always tried to keep a positive attitude and get a positive, hard working vibe in during the fitness days, but I don't think that worked well for me either, but it did benefit me. Overall, I'm glad I had who I had in my class, because they were the ones to help me out of my little self-conscious turtle shell.

Also, during first semester I didn't have any other activities I did outside of school or in school that would help me keep my healthier life style. So, during that time I tried harder to stick to more healthy food and not spend ALL day on my electronics. I still don't have any sports or teams outside school, but I do enjoy dancing as a past-time 〜(￣▽￣〜) (〜￣▽￣)〜 ┗(＾0＾)┓┏(＾0＾)┛. So, I decided to take dance for second semester. Then, I found it a bit better to help with keeping the healthier life style I gained. I plan now to continue dancing more often to keep up with my fitness so I'm not back down to not being able to run once I reach the school year next year. Though, with two siblings, who knows how my fitness will be like once school starts again? Could be better, could be worse. We'll just have to find that out in September  (⌒▽⌒)☆.

Now, during fitness, I gave my all. I wasn't very good with the activities that involved long periods of running. That has always been my weakness. We are told we need to pace ourselves in order to improve our times or amount of laps or whatever we are aiming for, but I wasn't good at pacing myself. In some odd way, I guess you can say I just don't know how to pace myself. I would always go too quickly during the first bit then gradually become slower and slower until my mental state pulled me down and out and I would start walking. This was a big problem for me especially during the 30 Minute Run and the Community Run. Now, I liked the Community Run because I got to go out and see scenery and run through different areas, even though I could easily get lost (My bad sense of direction). But, I still enjoyed it. It was like a refreshing morning run, I guess XD. But, I didn't enjoy the pond run. The pond run was constant running in a circle around the same pond, which I find boring and easily tiring. But despite that, I did encourage myself to keep going a bit longer each time.

Over this year-long course, we were also had these blogs (In which I happen to be writing a post on right now XD) and we had to update them with pictures of us doing fitness, showing leadership, having a healthy diet or such other things to show you kept up a healthy life. I can admit I didn't do that on my own blog (Which you can well see through looking at my total of 6, soon to be 7 posts.). Most digital evidence of myself was posted onto Kavita's blog (My friend), and I know excuses won't make anything better, so I won't pull any. I wish I could have been able to at least have posted one or two items of evidence, but well, I didn't. And we won't go into why, because there's no point in it. End of story, I just didn't get any evidence. 

So, my post is titled 'I Reached One Of My Goals~!' because I was actually able to reach a part of one of my goals.I was able to become more fit. Now, that's a good thing for me to at least know I have improved, but I still have more goals of course. Though I may not have been very fit or good at fitness, I still made it, and I'm proud of that. ｡◕‿◕｡
