This year in PE 10, I have always been punctual, I do not believe I was ever tardy. In regard to my PE clothing, I have always had them (with the exception of the one day where half that class attended the safe teen presentations). I believe my readiness to participate had improved from my past PE class and in the fitness that I do out of school. I find myself able to try harder and do better, because this semester in PE has helped me to understand my limits and how far to push myself.
This year my changes in fitness have been quite different than previous years. I noticed that this semester I saw my fitness reach a high point (both physically and mentally) and then to be honest, I saw a decrease in my fitness possibly because I was sick for a moderately long period of time. Currently I believe my fitness to still be above where I was last semester and anytime before that. I do believe that this is because of the more rigorous in class fitness, my participation in extra-curricular activities, and the fact that my household has made small but significant dietary changes.
I think that I bring motivation to the class dynamic (maybe not the whole class, but at least a relatively large group of people. This is something new to me, and was quite surprised when people had told me and when I realised it for myself. I also maintain a safe and positive environment, I create an environment in which I would like to participate in.
To me being physically educated and being ready for independence, means knowing the different between eating healthily and munching on carrots once in a while. It's knowing the difference between "shooting some hoops" and needing the intense activity that you might need that day. And it's knowing that sitting on a cozy couch with a bowl of banana fudge ice cream is fine once in a while, when it is not the banana ice cream per se that is important. But the fact that you eat a salad for dinner and take an extra long morning jog. Understanding ideas like these are important for independence and thinking about things in the long run and how they will affect you and your physical, and mental health.
Suggesting a grade for something like this (to me) is very difficult as it is hard to put on a scale of numbers. But if I had to weigh everything into consideration then I would say that I am an A/high B student.
Some barriers that could keep me from leading a healthy life style are: lack of motivation to exercise and eat healthily, for me this could be prevented by having someone who shares a common goal or interest as you, and being responsible for each other. Another barrier could be getting to where you want to exercise (a gym or park), for me making an addition of a home gym will be a tremendous benefit to my healthy living.
