Get fit has been a great experiance, as I had expected. New people, new attitudes and new ideas make the class different from the last. To be honest, like every other girl I continusly compare and judge my body with those of other girls, but this class has allowed me to see what my body is truly capable of. This class, I believe should be a must for all girls.
In class I have continously pushed my self a little further. For example, the last beep test I had eaten too much chocolate during my spare, and I was feeling quite nauseous. When we began the beep test by 3.3 i was ready to drop out, but i kept going determined to beat my previous score and I eventually dropped out 7.8 beating my old score by 0.5.
During fitness days I push myself, and my friends even commented "if i were you, I would have dropped out already". These kind of comments really pushed me to try my best and motivate my friends to do better. I don't let anything hold me back. During runs and beep tests and even during regular P.E. days I sometime ditch my friends (but they don't get mad :) cause they know me), I continously push myself.
During regular P.E days I try and motivate myself and those around me. There are many games and ideas that I don't find fun, but I tell myself to try something new. I usually tend to enjoy it more than I thought I would. This is another reason I took Get Fit, it throws new experiances in my face, forcing me to face them find the good in it.
The field trips that I have so far participated in has opened my eyes to the fun and creative ways to stay active while you have fun with friends. Fencing, a new field trip that we did not get to participate in last year, was an amazing experience. I never would have thought that I was that aggressive when I was trying to win. It was espcially fun when we got points and we were dressed in the full outfit. I felt like I belonged on the set of the parent trap. :)
During my out of school dance, I have seen an imrovement in my fitness, I am able to endre the warm up and the dance practice for much longer than any ofthe other members. This makes me proud and I am glad that I am seeing such significant improvements in my fitness.
All the field trips and each P.E class and out of school dance has shown me something new that I can do. I believe that i should recieve an 'A' with a percentage of 90.
Thanuji - thanks for posting a great reflection. I am so glad that you took this course again. It has been great to see your journey over the past few years - I am glad that you are becoming so confident in your abilities and able to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. Keep up the great work! Thanks for making our class better!
