My grade 9 year in PE has been pretty good. I've had a fairly good attendance record and I always come prepared with a water bottle and full gym strip. I've had difficulties with ongoing injuries for most of the year due to 2 fractures in my left ankle. I was out of PE for about a month, but when I was participating I gave it 100%. I am proud of what I have accomplished this year with my fitness even with the setbacks I've had with injury. I participated even though I probably shouldn't have at some points, but that's because I love working out and staying fit, I hate sitting out of any activity. I really enjoyed the fitness days this year, especially when we would do the full muscle workouts, for example the P90X videos. Throughout the year I have grown both in my fitness and as a person. I've realized how important it is to stay fit and lead a healthy life style. I've started eating healthier and I now love to workout and be active. I bring a positive attitude to the class, I am responsible, I encourage others, make sure to include everyone and set good examples by never giving up or quitting because I'm tired or some other excuse. I dance over 7 hours a week and I walk to and from school everyday, 30 minutes each way. I am ready for independence because I dance and will keep going with my other physical activities even after PE/ high school is over for me. I have a goal of becoming a dance instructor or an aerobics instructor because I don't see working out as a chore, I see it more as a fun and enjoyable. I think the grade I deserve for my year in PE is an A or at least a high B because I have participated in all activities to the fullest and gave it 100% even with the setbacks of injury. My year in PE has been very enjoyable and Mr.Vaughan has been a great and understanding teacher that has helped me grow in my fitness.
