Semester End Reflection

This semester was exceptional. I had a great time making new friends and learning new things. I got to know my body even more. I got to know when my body couldn't take no more of our exhilarating workouts and how I can run for along time without vomiting or breathing very heavily. Get Fit has opened my eye to make better choices, for example, eating right and exercising more but most importantly always being positive and happy. As Dalai Lama once said, "The purpose of our lives is to be happy". Not only improving in my fitness, I have improved on being a better person. I know I usually can run an 8.5 on the beep test but last time I was so close to run a 9 on the beep test. I've learned it takes patience and time to achieve anything. That is why I've started to workout out of school as an extracurricular activity because why drain your youth away by watching TV all day and eat junk food? Go outside and be adventurous and learn new things and learn how to love it not waste it. I've come to notice if you have a healthy mind and soul you can do wonders. You have to have your mind set and ready to achieve. I love Get Fit because it inpires me and teaches me new things every class and I love to learn new things but sometimes I don't show it. As this semester was coming along I have become more cofident in my skin and just in general. If I have an opinion I would love to share with the class and I like to participant by volunteering to demestrate an activity or to volunteer to go first for a warm-up game. I love how we have field trips in this class because I get to do something I've never done in my life, for example, taekwondo, fencing and hot yoga. I would probably never try those activities if it weren't for those field trip and guess what I surprising liked them. I find this class as an opportunity and an advantage. It's just wonderful. Having this class to be all girls is fantastic because sometimes you can be shy to do some activities in front of some guys and in this class you feel more confident and courageous. I would say this class is full of all my sisters, we go through the same thing and can understand one another. So I love it. Critically, I've learnt never to give up and always finish something right to the end rather it being a workout or long term goal. Don't underestimate anything.


I plan to keep up with the progress I've made, by not dieting but making wise decisions about what I eat and my cousin and I are going to team up and start going for runs around sulli's pond once it gets lighter and the days get warmer. Once this semester is over it's going to be hard for me to learn new workouts and strategies of living a healthy life. And it will suck once this is over because won't get to spend an hour and 30 minutes with you guys everyday. I'm going to miss our family. :( I think the Nike Training app was the best thing I've ever seen because now I have this app on my iPod so I can workout at home too. As a matter of fact, just today I used it and I feel amazing but, my legs are sore and I cannot sit down without saying, "Oh god, Oh god". My friends were a great big motivation for me watching them and them cheering me on really warms my heart. Also having a prodigious teacher like you is a great motivation. I can always be motivated on my own time by listening to my music while working out and having my cousin right beside me to support and motivate me. And I can agree, thank-you for making this such an amazing  semester for us to experience!

I would give myself 86%.
