   Active Learning Blog Post

                   Compared to last semester I feel as if I have accomplished much more. There is so much for me to still learn and I am excited to be able to push myself harder. I have always brought in my gym strip and and I am almost always excited to start with the activity. On fitness days I have been able to push myself harder and harder until I come to a certian point where I just cant feel my arms anymore. It's fun to do and I can't wait to start.

On other days when we usually have choice I push myself to compete and win. You should know that I am very competitive and always ambitious to get the gold. Not only with others but with myself as well. I compete to push myself to my limits and even then I tell myself I can keep going. Its tiring but I like to see how much more I will be able to do later on in the course. my favorite days are when there is an obstacle course throughout the hub and the gyms. I always have so much fun on those because I like to see how far I can get with every obstacle. I really think that they are a great way to excersice in an entertaining way.There should be more days where they are are set up.

There have been no days so far that I have been struggling with. Its mostly about how far I can push myself. I try to contribute more now and I help push my friends farther until they reach their limit but some of them do fine on their own and I think that just by having a good attitude, that we could actually enjoy ourselves and have fun.

 My fitness goals have also changed becuase not only am I trying to push myself harder in class but outside of school as well. I go to the park everyday and jog, walk or rollerskate for 45 min. Its not hardcore but I do enjoy it and I think it benefits me and helps keep my body healthy.

I think I have done really well and have put in the best my effort into it. 

                                          Physical Education Self-Evaluation Grade

          During PE this year I think that I have shown that I have been well prepared by bringing in my gym strip almost all the time and am willing to participate in all of the activities, by bringing in a good atitude. I think I have shown alot of optimism towards physical education and am ready to participate everyday. I have participated to my best effort on the days that we have been in the weight room, obstacle courses, and days outside. The days that were a challenge for me were beep tests and the Insanity workout, because it was non-stop action and I wasn't able to show as much effort as I did at the beggining of the workout session.

      I think I contribute to the overall success of the class at a medium rate. I push my friends to their limits when they seem to not be as optimistic about the excercise as I am. I always try to get them to put as much effort as they can and if they still aren't paticipating in the activity then I stop because I don't want to force them to do something they don't want to. I always try to have the most optimistic attitude about the class depending on what we are doing. If we are doing an Insanity workout for example then I will be determined to push to my limits, and hang around those who have the same goal. I interact with my classmates pretty well and usually ask them for help if I don't understand the excersise.
My participation level is pretty good I think because I have been able to get myself to succeed in pushing further than I did before. I enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, capture the flag, and doing the pond run. My fitness goals for this year are: to keep pushing myself to my limits, continue swimming, and hopefully work further into scuba diving. Scuba diving is considered a sport.
                            
         My definition of Leadership is someone who can commit to helping others as well as themselves. They play a great role in our society by setting good examples for not only the younger people but the older ones as well. There are so many leaders out there that don't even know it and they are making a difference by being a good helpful member of our society by contributing to training, tutoring, teaching, and telling. One really good example of this in our class is Brittany D. who is always trying to push me and Laura to our limits. If I stop for even a minute, she will pick me right back up and tell me to keep going even if it hurts.

       I would like to improve in being able to go for a longer period of time without having to stop. I am most proud of the progress I have made in exceeding my fitness level since last year. I am also extremely happy that I know a few of the muscles, and different workout sessions for each one in order to strengthen them.

    I think I deserve an A because I think I have proven to myself that I am an active member of the class who is always prepared to begin another session.
