January 28 - Mid Term Reflection

1) Since the start of this year, I have brought my gym strip, including runners, and had my hair tied up, ready to participate in the activity of the day. I always come with a bright attitude, because I learned that the positive attitude you put out, will affect the way that day will go. I put my best effort into both fitness days and gym days. During choice, I pick an activity that I know I will actually want to do like Capture the Flag, and not just sit out for the majority of the time. On fitness days, I surround my self with people I know will motivate me and won't hold me back from doing my best. I struggle more with choice days, rather than fitness, or the times we have an activity the whole class has to do. I don't enjoy playing sports like basketball, and volleyball, so I always choose to do activities such as handball, and anything you can do outside.

2) I think I haven't contributed as much as I did last year, mostly because I don't know many of the people in my class. I do however, try to always be positive, especially fitness days, because I know  that a lot of people don't enjoy it as much. I recently played Capture the Flag with a couple of people from our class (like 8 people), and that helped me to be more comfortable around them. I will definitely try to get to know more people in our class the next semester, which will be so much easier in the spring, when the we can play as a class. 

3) I love fitness days. I have always enjoyed doing all the activities because it's not like sports where you win or lose. During fitness, if you work hard, you will always win, because you get stronger mentally, and physically. I enjoy doing the community run, because I get to talk to Yulia and Gaby, compared to fitness days like locomotion, where it is almost impossible to talk and breathe at the same time. For the rest of the year, I still don't have a specific goal. But, I want to be able to work hard, each day, and learn to put up with the uncomfortable feeling during fitness, so I have enough self control to do it myself, once I'm not in P.E 10 anymore.

4) To me, leadership means motivating the class to make improvements. For example, a leader doesn't always have to be the one holding the whistle, but can also be the person who listens attentively, making it easier for the class to get things done faster. I don't think there is a specific person in the class who is a leader, but everyone in our class has the potential to be a great leader. 

5) I would like to talk and get to know more people in our class. I am most proud of the things I do outside of gym, like doing insanity, and running.

For these reasons, I think I deserve an A (90%)
