Fitness - Active Living - Self Assessments

Okay To.Be.Honest, since the beginning of class I have been more than ready, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have been looking forward to this year’s P.E since lasts years P.E! I look forward to participating in many activities (who doesn’t like to run around and burn off some steam?) In the classes I have attended aside from the few days I missed due to the horrible removal of my 3 complicated little wisdom teeth, I have done my best to make an effort because I know, I myself will be the one benefitting at the end of the day...plus then I can make room for my sweet tooth if I work hard prior or after. That being said the two P.E classes I had after my return from the recovery days, were my lowest participation efforts since the beginning. There’s something about having a lack of bone from my mouth in order to get teeth pried out that makes me nervous about coming in contact with a fast flying soft ball...just sayin..

In class I contribute I by being, positive, though sometimes I do bug about the lesson in a joking matter of course because in all seriousness I do take P.E very seriously!...seriously. I bring a positive attitude to the course because I am all for new activities and challenges and try to amp up the spirit in others, encouraging them to join in if they are chillaxing on the bleachers. My interactions with other students are respectful because I know that P.E might not be for everyone but if you can make the day brighter by socializing with everyone then it helps because then everyone is included!

To describe my participation during class, I would say I push myself until I can’t be easily mobile, which has resulted in me learning to ice my muscles! Physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually I push myself to do better (go hard or go home! I do not want to be the one sitting on the couch watching The Doctors at the age of 30 wondering what the fastest way to get active is! No short cuts! Slow and steady wins the race. Correct?) Since I’ve set my goal, (the one about the 15 strict push-ups) I have made some progress because of Crossfit and outside of school, where I try to do push-ups when I can... it’s been very busy in my day to day life. Putting that aside, am I on track with my goal... unfortunately I didn’t think strict push-ups would be this difficult. Got a bit of work to do but I do think I will have to extend my due date.. Sadly!

In terms of leadership roles... I will continue to be positive and work as a team even though I can be competitive but in a good way of course. I think the best leaders in class are the ones who go with the flow and accept what needs to be done.

(In case anyone is wondering what kind of structure I am using to write this assessment, I’m looking at a page my teacher wrote with various questions for our classmates to follow in this Self-Assessment)

As far as improvements go in terms of what I am most proud of is... Sticking to something I enjoy. I chose to join Crossfit because, 1st I love a challenge and second it gives me something to do that ads even more productity in my life... and that being said, finding time in my productive, hectic days...trying to blog consistently has been a struggle. I will try to take a few extra minutes to quickly report out of the week and comment on my peer's blogs as well.

If I were to give myself a grade, I would say 88-90% because I bust my butt in class 95% of the time and encourage everyone to push themselves! Thooough I do forget to write in my blog sometimes! ma bad :/
