Final Assessment

Participation: Participation is probably one of my best categories for this year. I always focus my intentions on participating in in-class activities, whether others allow me to do so or not. When it comes to some activities such as speed ball, sometimes I'm not able to participate as often as I wish because others don't pass the ball, but whenever I have the chance, I try to get right in there and join. Every gym class I have my gym strip unless it's a class where we don't have to wear it, then I don't have to change. In this category, I for sure deserve an A. I don't think I could've done too much more to improve here and if I can, please let me know.

Social Responsibility and Contribution to the Class: This year, I tried my best to be out there with my classmates and talk to more people then I usually would have. I'm typically a shy person so I don't like communicating with classmates I'm not close with outside of class. I mostly encourage my closer friends, but I did make sure to encourage people, especially on fitness days. For example, when I run past someone during a running exercise, I'll say something quick like, "You got this, keep going." as encouragement to someone who as started walking or looks like they are working really hard. For leadership this year, I've done my best to help organize and set up the activities and ask if people need help when they are setting up. There have been multiple cases this year where a group of friends and I will organize a game together when we aren't huge fans of the choices given to us, with permission  of course. Even when I'm not pleased with the activity, I suck it up and try to enjoy it as best I can so I don't bring misery to any other people. This is one of the parts I struggle with the most but I think I'm able to get an A in this category as well.

Healthy Living: I haven't been the most healthy person outside of school when it comes to doing activities on my own. I do hang out with my friends very often and we run around and play. I also did badminton outside of class a lot because it's something I enjoy doing. I have however lost interest in doing squash over the past year because I haven't had many opportunities to go do it. In the past I did lots of that but nowadays I do badminton more often. Occasionally, I do toss a baseball around with my uncle, but not enough to consider it a daily activity. Over the course of the summer, I hope to get out a lot more then I did last year so I can maintain my physical condition so it will be easier when returning in the summer. I don't have my black out thingy much anymore. If I do, it's after a lot of running but it only ever happens after a hardcore badminton match or after fitness days like the pond relays. I need to keep monitoring it but it isn't much of a concern. I don't think I'm perfect in this section but I still think I deserve a solid B.

Digital Portfolio: My blog isn't one of the extreme blogs with every single update on it, monotoring every detail and have photos left and right. However, I believe the quality is of high standards and I did really well. One thing really missing from my blog has to be the amount of photos. I do have some photos but the problem with photos is that I don't feel comfortable posting my face online and I couldn't get many photos that reflected the blog post and didn't show my face at the same time. In each post I showed to good detail of what I felt each day and how hard I worked. I think I deserve a B in this section because I feel there was a lot of room for improvement but it is still up to good standards.

Overall this year, I think I deserve an A for how much I have put into gym. I do have a couple flaws here and there but everybody does, and those flaws can be only set for improving myself in further years. Even if people do disagree and say I'm a B, I still look upon myself as an A student and that is good enough for me. Thank you for such an amazing year.
