Semester-End Assessment

       This semester in physical education I am pretty proud of myself. I feel I have been improving each fitness class and I will continue to increase my endurance as we continue on with the year. I really want to increase my fitness levels and my stamina. I try to come to class with a positive attitude and be enthusiastic about activities. I always bring change of strip, and attend classes with the exception of excuses. I surround myself with my friends and people who motivate me to try my hardest. I definitely feel that I have improved since the beginning of the year, and hope to keep improving. I try to eat healthier and think twice about what I am putting into my body. I want to learn more about my body and work on my strengths, and develop my weaknesses.

       One of my main goals that I wanted to improve was my flexibility. I find exercises and stretches and do those at home to help me achieve this goal. I can't say I have reached this goal yet, but I have seen improvements and I am determined to get there. Another thing I have been working on is my upper body strength. I will have to admit I am not as dedicated to this goal as I am to the first one, but I definitely do want to achieve this. I hope that in semester 2 I can focus a bit more on this goal and hopefully see some improvements by the end of the year! I really want to work hard and build muscles but some days I feel I have lack of motivation. I really want to work on that, however, and find something to motivate me to try my best.

       For second semester, I also hope to become more of a leader within the class dynamic. I want to try and be more of an example for the grade 8's. I will try my best not to complain about certain activities even if I don't enjoy them as much. I want to see a better change in my health and fitness and I know if I have a positive mind set I can accomplish this target.

       Because of these things, I think I deserve an A. I am really putting in the effort and participation to improve in P.E. I want to maintain these work habits so that I can see even more success and improvement by the end of semester 2. I definitely want to become more fit and try my best.
