Mid-Term Reflection

During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate in a variety of activities?  On what days have you participated to your best effort and why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why? This year, I have shown I am prepared for class because I always bring my gym strip and water bottle.  I have shown I am willing to participate by always having a positive attitude and I am constantly excited to try new things.  Fitness days are always a challenge for me, but I try my best.  I have to say that I put the most effort in on Beep Test days because I like to know my current fitness levels.  I cannot say that I do not try on certain days because I enjoy participating in class.


How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class? I contribute to the overall success of the class because I always come to class with a positive attitude.  I am hard working and constantly encourage my classmates to participate and try their best.  I interact well with the other students in the class.  I help out when my peers ask me to.


Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness goals do you have for the rest of the year? Fitness days are sometimes a challenge for me.  Even so, I try my best to participate in the activity.  I have been able to push myself physically in the first part of this course.  My friend Prabhneet encourages me to continue on when I feel like I can't do anymore.  I enjoy doing the beep test because it is good to know what your fitness level is at.  When I improve in my scores, I feel proud of myself. 


What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why? To me, leadership means to be a good role model and a helpful peer in the class.  People who encourage and motivate you to do better are leaders.  In our class, I believe there are a lot of role models who help and motivate their peers to try their best and participate.


What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are you the most proud of so far? I would defiantly like to have my beep test score over 8.5.  I am proud of how much I improved with my fitness ability because of this class.


Finally, what letter grade A, B, C+, C, C- (gulp) best represents the effort you just described? I believe I deserve an A for the first semester of Active Learning 9.  I am always trying my best in class.  I help my classmates out when they need it and I also motivate them to do better.  I come to class prepared and with a positive attitude.  Last, but not least, I have improved a lot in my physical fitness ability since the beginning of the school year.

Kelowna

On November 5, 2013, the Sullivan Field Hockey team took a road trip to Kelowna to play a wildcard game to get into Provincials. It was a really great experience and the team had lots of fun. Even though we lost 1-0 in overtime, we walked away with our heads held high. I t was a great season and I will definitely miss all the Grad 2014 girls on the team!!!

Goals for my Sports

I am currently participating in two sports: Field Hockey an Tae Kwon Do.

The goal I have set for myself in Tae Kwon Do is to earn my Blue Belt. Right now, I attend
Woo Kim Surrey Tae Kwon Do on Sundays for two hours. I also practice during the week with my brother.

My Field Hockey goal (which is a funny thing to say since I'm a goalie), is to make Team BC this year. In order to do this, I need to reach a 8.0 on the Canadian Beep test. I have improved my skills and fitness since last tryouts and think I have a good chance of making the team this year. Right now, I have practice two days a week and games three days a week.

Tough Mudder

On Tuesday, October 15, the gym block did the Tough Mudder for the first time. We made groups and completed tasks. My group members were Simar, Prabhneet, and Gagan. We worked really well together and pushed each other to the limit. At the end, we were proud of how we did as a team. My favorite part was the leap frog because it was kind of...um...fun (you could say).

Weight Room Goals

One goal I have for myself is to become more flexible for Tae Kwon Do and Field Hockey.

Being a Field Hockey goalie requires a lot of flexibility so you can reach farther to stop a goal from happening. In Tae Kwon Do, flexibility is key. You need to be able to kick fast and strong. When doing kicks, such as the Axe Kick, you need to be able to kick higher than your opponents head.

Here is a YouTube video that will help me achieve my goal of becoming more flexible:
