Semester End Post (January 9th 2014)

Being in Get Fit had taught me many things. Not only with the field trips that we took, but it taught me a lot about what it feels like to be energized everyday and have a new respect for working out everyday. I feel that my progress from the beginning of the year till today has been so large, that i don't see myself being that person again, for a long time. Having all of those field trips and all of those activities, made me realize that there are a lot of things out in the world that can be learned and applied to everyday life. For example, when we went to taekwondo, i learnt self defense and personal safety, which are two very important things for people our age, especially girls. Having the opportunity to experience all of these activities has given me a chance to think about actually joining a club or sport which involves what we had done. In the future, i hope to be an influence to other students in my community on what fitness and healthy living truly is, because its not only about how your body looks and what your supposed to look like, its about maintaining a good body AND exercising and eating well, so that you and your body will look good and be as healthy as you can be. This class has given me so many new opportunities that i would probably not have gotten any where else. I've made new friends, I've learnt values and done things that i would never get anywhere else and most of all. Outside of this class, i would love to do hot yoga again and i would really enjoy to do taekwondo again. All in all, i thought that this semester was a really enjoyable one and i would absolutely take Get Fit again next year!!! After the semester is over, i plan to keep my fitness up by working out with my friends and doing as much physical activity as i can on the weekends. I want to work during the summer, so i hope that the job i do gives me a chance to get some activity there. If not, i will come home after work and i will dedicate at least 30 mins to working out. As far as the mark in this class is concerned, i would like to give myself a 86%. I feel i deserve an 86 because i have worked really hard in this class and i have achieved some of my personal bests this year. On the beep test, my highest was a 8.4 and that is the highest that i have ever gotten in the beep test in all my years here in Sullivan. And also, when we had done the community run, i had gone with the jogging group and i had run the whole route without stopping. I had never done that before, and i am very proud of everything that i have achieved this year. I really enjoyed this class and i hope to be able to take it again next year. :D
