During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 
in a variety of activities?  On what days have you participated to your best effort and 
why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why?
During this year I don't think I showed I was prepared, because I didn't bring my gym strip to every class. 
But I do think I was prepared even without my gym strip because I always stretch before fitness that way I wouldn't hurt my ankles very much. I have participated in mostly all activities even if I was hurt or if my skin had been breaking out, I would try to do the best of my abilities or I would use the bicycle to try to get the exercise I was missing. I have participated the most when I wasn't hurt or when I didn't have bad skin because then I could push myself without worrying about sweating or going slower for my foot, I remember once i was red, sweating, and puffing from the pond run. I was very proud of myself then because I had reached the limit from which I could handle and that where I was trying to get at. The most struggling days for me was when my skin broke out because i had to go easy on myself so that I wouldn't have to sweat, which would have made it worse and really irritating.
 How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?
I think I bring a positive attitude, I think I can make people smile or laugh. I sometimes encourage my classmates/friends to push themselves.I really enjoy being in the class because I made so many friends now that they are not just friends i see in class but friends i see outside of class and I really like that. In the beginning of school I was pretty shy and didn't want to talk to many people but now I think I've made friends with mostly all grade 8's not grade 9's though.
 Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 
physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 
goals do you have for the rest of the year? 
I think I try my hardest when I can (when I'm not injured or breaking out.)I will even do it without my gym strip even if what I wear makes me feel warm while fitness. I don't stop until i feel like I am not able to breath anymore. I think my favorite fitness activities would have to be the pond run, the community run, and the hill run. My fitness goal is to try harder when i am hurt, but I also want to try to bring my gym strip to every class.
 What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why?
To me leadership means developing through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. They inspire classmates into higher levels of teamwork, and effort. it is the ability to influence others towards a specific goal or course of action. I think Katherine was a good leader to me because she is always encouraging me to push harder in fitness classes, and she has never stopped participating in fitness even if shes hurt.
What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year? 
I would like to get higher than a 6 on the beep test. I would also like to bring my gym strip to every class.
Finally, what letter grade A, B, C+, C, C- (gulp) best represents the effort you just described? 
I think i should recieve a C+ or C overall because i've lacked in participating and effort.
