Mid Term Reflection

For the first half of this year, PE has been quite ride. Learning new things about my body and participating in a variety of activities has been fun but also a struggle. 

This year, I've made sure to do my best with participation in the activities and bein engaging with the other people. My best effort was put into more of the serious and hard activities because I feel the need to make sure I succeeded in those activities. The days I struggle are usually fitness days during running activities because they are really hard to do with my breathing. 

My contribution to the class is being encouraging and being a good sport during the activities. Leadership isn't my best thing since I am a rather shy person with people I don't know very well but I contribute any ideas I have if I feel the need to. Even though I'm not the most social person, I am still friendly to any others I talk to. 

During fitness days are when I work my absolute hardest because this is where I can struggle the most. On fitness days I push myself to the fullest even when I push myself too far. The one fitness I've been wanting to do but I haven't done yet is the community run. I just enjoy being outside and getting to look at everything instead of being stuck in the gym. I feel like a accomplish my goal in fitness when I'm sore the next day then I have proven to myself that I did it. 

Leadership to me is contributing ideas and taking matters into your own hands instead of having others do it for you. I think the best leader in our class is Simran because she always helps set up games and she is very outgoing and enthusiastic. I on the other hand will help set up games and activities but I'm not the person to step up and lead the class. 

By the end of this year, my plan is to work on getting over my dizzy phase I get when running or working too hard. I can achieve this by doing more activities and home and getting out more. My plan is to get back into squash and do that more frequently so I build up what I can stand. What I'm the most proud of so far is how hard I've been pushing myself and how well I've done even when I struggle. When I'm beginning to give up I always tell myself just to push through because fitness is only once a week. If I improve on this later in the year as well though, I'd be really happy. 

If I were to give myself a letter grade I think I'd give myself an A because I've been keeping up with my blogs and trying the hardest I can. I don't think I deserve any less then that with all the work I've done this ear and I hope to continue this in the days to come.

  2. Madison you have really taken on the challenge of your health this year. I am glad you are seeing obstacles as chances to grown and focusing on doing your best for you and no one else. I think you learning and reflecting in your blog is improving and your story about your issues with fitness and how you are modifying and finding ways that work for you will help others in the same boat. Have you seen a doctor at all about the breathing in particular? I haven't noticed it lately but your blog remind me of the locomotion day earlier. Sometimes there are physical hindrances to certain activities and knowing about them helps you plan for ways to be successful despite these concerns. Mr. P has a heart murmur, I have broken … well almost everything in my body and have lot's of issues. We all do… but managing them requires understanding what is happening and working to improve ourselves intelligently as well as through hard work. :) Start focusing on your body needs and how to maximize the best you.
