I've always been a jack of all trades- never being an expert in one thing. Despite not being particularly good in one area or sport, active living has always been a part of my life, one way or another. I've never been very forward, like so many other athletic students. I was always shy and quiet, unwilling to try new things in front of the judgement of other people. However, active living is prominent throughout my life outside of gym class, and even within school.
Many people see get fit as the 'weight loss class'- I disagree. In this class, I want to add even more physical activity to my life, even if its in small ways, such as walking. I also.... *whisper* want to slim down for grad *whisper*.
Healthy living, to me, isn't just physical activity. It also means eating right, and keeping yourself emotionally healthy too! Dieting and exercising for the 'perfect body' can also make someone feel bad about themselves, thus lowering their emotional health. To me, a balance between the 3 is what true healthy living is!
Overall, I found Get Fit this year to be my best P.E. class experience in the 5 years I've been in this school. There's no sense of competition, and this class has made me feel welcome. Rather than a class, Get Fit feels like a team, working together to make our goals. We cheer for each other, there's no animosity and need to outdo each other, and I think that's best. I've worked harder in this P.E. class than any other P.E. class, which makes me feel great. YAY GET FIT!!!
