During Active Learning this year I try every class to give my best. I am always willing to be a part of a team and follow what the team leader says. I prepare myself by having my gym strip on and being on time for class. I am willing and usually excited to try all activities.
My best days are when we are doing activities that I enjoy, like, badminton and being in the weight room. Days I struggle with are when I don`t feel 100% and have low energy. I know this is because I may have been out at Youth group the night before or up a little later than I should have been. My disability is a challenge but it does not stop me from trying hard and participating in all activities in whatever way that I can.
I feel that I contribute to the overall success of the class because I try to come with a positive attitude everyday. I know from my life that anything is possible if you try hard. I try to be positive and strong but I know that I can complain sometimes. I am glad that Mr. Neufeld keeps pushing me while smiling at me! :)
I love the other students in the class and I have some fiends in the class as well. I find that we chat and really care about each other by offering encouraging words to each other.
Fitness days were challenging the first few times and I admit I didn`t like it but now I like being able to push myself. I can see myself getting better at basic fitness like running. I really enjoy stations because we get to do different things and not the same thing for 40 minutes straight. I have fitness goals of getting stronger and fitter. I would like to improve my cardio.
Leadership is setting a good example by trying your hardest and pushing others in a positive way to do their best. I feel the best leaders in our class are Rashmital and many other Grade 9s. I find that they push you and don`t want you to fail.
I am most proud of the fact that I can do activities this year that I could not do before like the hill run and the circuits.
