Reflection.

      Get Fit 12 will be my last PE class. I will now have no teacher telling me what to do and insuring I do something active five days a week for a whole semester. Thankfully Mrs. Phillips and the rest of the Get Fit class has helped me find new to stay active after this semester ends and I graduate in five months. With money being a problem I even learnt new, un expensive exercises that don't need any equipment. After doing the Nike Fitness App I realised I enjoyed it and got a really good work out from it so after school when I went home I down loaded it onto my phone so I can use the app at home.
   Being a senior PE class we went on a lot of Field trips. A few examples would be, dance, grouse grind and gymnastics. We didn't go on as much field trips as last year and as I wish we did because of the new bell schedule. I am thankful for the ones we did go on because I don't think I would of ever went and tried most of the stuff if it wasn't for this class and the field trips. My favourite field trip was snowshoeing. I didn't think I was going to have fun during the field trip and ever want to go back. But I was surprised when I noticed I had a lot of fun and went back the next weekend and I am probably going again this weekend or next weekend. I enjoyed my time snowshoeing because it was a really good work out and I got to see beautiful scenery while snowshoeing. I thought it was going to be really cold and I was going to complain the whole time there but it wasn't cold at all and I ended up taking off my first layer of clothing.
        At the beginning of the school year I found out I had knee problems that would limit what I could and was allowed to do in PE. Because of my injury I didn't get to go on all of the field trips and I had to sit out every now and then for a few minuets because my knee started to tightened up and was in a lot of pain. I started going to physio and it helped strengthen my knee a lot and I am now able to  do a lot more with my knee. When my knee starts to hurt I try and find a way to still do the activity or exercise with out hurting my knee as much so I dint have to sit out. A lot of the stuff we did in class also helped me strengthen my knee.
     Even with knee problems I still participated a lot and pushed my self as far as I can. I go home almost every day with my muscles were sore because of what we did that day in PE. In the beginning of the course I wasn't I didn't get that high when we did fitness testing, I couldn't run as fast and as far and I couldn't do as much in the weight room. Now that we only have three days left in this class I think I am now a lot more fit and can do a lot more in class. For that I'm really proud of my self.
      I never thought I could achieve so much in a PE class but I did. Thank-you Mrs. Phillips and my fellow class mates that have helped me reach father then my goals. I couldn't of done it with out your help. And I wish you the best with your many years to come in physical activity.

Inspirational quotes.

"The only way of finding the limits of possible is by going beyond them into the impossible."By: Arthur C. Clarke

"If opportunity doesnt knock, build a door."
By: Milton Berel


I find both of the above quotes inspirational for many different reasons. The quote by Arthur C. Clarke helps me remember that I have to work hard for what you want in life. Nothing is easy and nothing will just come to you. Even if you think that what you want in life is to hard and/or impossible to get, dont give up! because you wont know if its impossible untill you try. The quote by Milton Berel inspires me because it helps me remeber that if I want something in life and its not there for me and I do not have the opportunity to then I should find away and make my opportunities and not to give up because if I want bad enough and Im willing to work for it then I should be able to achive my goal.

Snowshoeing.

Last class we went to Seymour and we all went snowshoeing. I didnt think I wold enjoy iy but it ended up being a lot of fun and I want to go back! It was a lot of work and tiring. I dressed really warmly with lots of layers but ended up taking most of the layers off because I was hot and sweaty from working really hard. At first the snowshoes felt weird but afterwards I didnt even notice they were there.
