Terry Fox

Terry Fox inspires me because he was so motivated about running even though he only had one leg. Its amazing to see his dream move on and that shows how much a sport can do. It can change lives and motivate people to change the world. He will forever remain a Canadian hero.

Final Assessment Blog Post

1) Participation 

I always have my gym strip and I am always there to participate. I'm sometimes late but its only for 5 minutes and thats always because I was changing. I always have another change of clothing to change into after I'm done. I've never missed a class for no reason the only time I missed a class was for Hot Yoga and that was for health reasons. If I've ever missed a class then I always had a legitimate reason for it. My activity level during games is as pumped as it is for any activity. I never judge an activity by its name or anything, I just know its PE and I should always participate no matter what. I am very motivated on choice days because I like to be able to do what I want, it makes me want to participate even more. Whenever we have choice I like to utilize the weight room because it has a mirror and I like to practice my dance their. Overall I'm changed always and ready to go.

2) Social Responsibility and Contribution to The Class 

I always try to be as encouraging as I can with my peers in class. Many times I was with a group that didn't really want to participate and I tried my level best to make them want to participate. I talked to them and everything but in the end I just chose to play with another group. I help out with equipment when needed. I play fairly and I am always honest as a team member because this isn't the olympics and even if it was your should always play fairly. 

3) Healthy Living 

I've noticed a lot of changes in my fitness. Including being less physically tired from simple tasks in life. I am also more confident about my physical image then before.I eat a lot better then I did before like I drink more water and I eat more indian food like roti and lentils which is healthier then a burger. Recently I've been doing Bollywood dance 2-3 times a week for an hour for my cousin's wedding. I also practice my dace for an hour everyday so thats an hour a day plus 2 hours on the days that I have class because I practice after class for an hour as well. This is making me be able to do fitness for a longer period of time then before. My future goals is to be almost ripped and extremly healthy diet wise. I also want to be that mom at 7:00 in the morning running down the sidewalk with one kid in a jogging stroller and one in those pouch backpack baby holder thing totally burning off all that baby weight! 

4) Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills

I feel like I did good with blogs because I have over 12 blogs. Their all detailed and very honest. I feel like I put a lot of effort into my blogs to showcase what I learned as what I should have done better. I did blog posts of all the important moments in the class and I feel like I did well. I feel like I could have set more goals but I did that in my head throughout the course. 

Update:My bangles are ready to go!

For the past few days I've been practicing a Bollywood dance for my cousin's wedding during PE and after school. During PE if we are in the weight room I utilize the mirror to see if I am executing the dance moves right (and to occasionally check myself out). After school I practice my dance for an hour. On Tuesdays and Thursdays (and occasional weekend classes) I have my actual dance class. It's for an hour and I am exhausted after. I come home after class and practice until I am completely winded and drenched in sweat. All this concludes with a warm shower followed by me passing the hell out in my bed. I am so pumped to learn my entire 5 minute performance because it's helping me stay fit. Below is the look that I'm going for. #nevergoingtohappen #yourcantimitateperfection

Report Card Post

1. Action: My attendance has always been good in all areas of life (I`ve never skipped a single class of high school in my life.) If I`m late tell you why and if I`m away I bring a note. -I keep strip in a PE locker so I always have some clothes to change into. I wear strip every day because I have it with me at all times. -I feel like I like to try new things (not just in PE but in general life) so I`m always enthusiastic to something I`ve never done before. I would say I`m even more excited because it’s something I`ve never done, how cool is that to expand your learning and be able to say ``Yeah I did that once`` to my kids one day. -I went skating which was the highlight of the year for me because it made me nostalgic to go back to going to field trips again like the good old days. I want to attend every single field trip because that’s why I choose to be in this class. I feel like I try my level best in everything that I do and when there are block wide finesses I make the best of every class. 2. Contribution: -I feel like I bring a positive vibe to the class like I do wherever I am on this Earth. I like the idea of being a team member because it brings a sense of family to me. I love the fact that we are an all-girls class because girls rule and boys drool. -I feel like I`m a leader in this class because I motivate others to work out if they don`t seem that motivated. I try to spread that type of energy around. -With my decisions, many times I made a decision I instantly regretted but I changed it immediately and tried to make the right choice (with strip and what not.) -I feel like I`m a nice person and many people have described me as empathetic, I made a lot of new friends in this class and I talk to everyone because we are a team. -I love including people because it’s more fun when there are more people involved. -I feel like I make my class better because of my attitude and my enthusiasm. 3. Reflection: -I feel like I write a lot of blogs and that I put a lot of thought into them in terms of trying to convey exactly how I felt in that moment. -I feel like I deserve a high A (90 percent and above) because I do my blogs, I always have strip, I never skip class, I am enthusiastic about everything we do because that’s my general outlook on life. -I know that my strengths are things like Zumba, yoga, hill run, pond run and other fitness things we`ve done as a class and block wide. I know that my weaknesses are things like the insanity workout because I have bad upper body strength. -I feel like I am prepared for my interview because I have proof that I actually participated in this class.

Fencing and Hill Run

We did fencing last week and I was so pumped!!! Partly because of the fact that you get to wear an outfit that makes you look like an independent warrior! I was kind of scared that I would get really clostrophobic with the mask on my head but It wasn`t that bad. Other then that I was super excited and I had a good time trying something new. Yesterday we did the Hill Run and I felt like I had a good glutes and thigh workout because I can feel it in the lower part of my body all day yesterday and even still. Its like that moment were you worked out and you feel it the next day and your like ``YES IT WORKED!!!``.

Update

I feel like my attendance is good because I think I’ve only been away maybe once. I feel like I am prepared to put in effort and I try to everyday. I’ve never been totally negative about any PE situation (to the point where I skipped or did completely nothing). I feel like the lowest I’ve been is maybe eighty percent willing to participate for a class or two. I feel like I bring a positive girl power, togetherness vibe to the class as that’s the way I always am. I like to be positive about new things because again, that’s how I am in real life. If I know a certain activity is not something I’m that skilled in then I approach it the exact same way as if I was comfortable with the activity (not just in PE but in general life). To make our class better I can encourage more people to do good as well. I can also be even more positive.

Dance Week

During dance week we did line dancing, bhangra, hip-hop and Zumba (not jazz as we went skating). Line dancing was fun because it makes you feel like cow folk and that’s my jam. After that we did bhangra and I was like girl that’s the dance of my people holla so I enjoyed that fully and the most. Then we did hip-hop (yes this is not in chronological order) and I obviously have no rhythm because my genre is more graceful and sometimes fast paced Bollywood dancing (in my room by myself). We also did Zumba which is very expressive and I like that very much. I showed up to all classes and performed as good as I could.
