This year, I believe I attended every class except for a couple times I had to go to the doctors. Though I do not arrive at the school before the first bell, I am usually ready for class before we begin our class activity. My fitness hasn't changed as much as I would like it too but it has not gotten worse since last year, I think I am in better shape and stronger than I was in grade 9. I would like to improve my fitness and strength to assist me in playing rugby and other sports. I contribute to the class by assuming a leadership role in our class, though it may not be a very positive leadership. Being physically educated means to understand your own fitness level and how to improve on it, I am ready for independence because I understand my level of fitness and I understand how to improve it. I think I should get a a low A because I attend almost every class and I am in good shape. The only barrier keeping me from a healthy life style is my own laziness.

Since the beginning of the semester I have noticed a few improvements in my fitness level and in my leadership skills. I still have to work on putting in more of an effort than I currently do. The only thing I can think of that effects my effort level is how much sleep I got the night before, generally if I had a practice late the night before I would be very tired for the morning PE class I have. I am always physically prepared for class but not always mentally, sometimes I am just too tired from the night before. I have a lot of commitment to extracurricular activities including school hockey and rugby, I also do a fair amount of sports in the community such as hockey, rugby and taekwondo. My diet is the same each week, a lot protein like steak and chicken. I am pretty safe when it comes to PE, I only get injured when playing contact sports but I have come to expect that. To heal I just reduce the amount of activity on the injured part of my body. I volunteer all the time at the YMCA and I teach taekwondo there as well. I enjoy playing sports in PE10 but the fitness is hard to do as I am usually tired. The barrier I have during PE are only the ones I put on myself. I hope to put in more of an effort on fitness days and normal days. I think I should get an S for my work habit mark.
