G.Athwal "Grade 9" active learning

The Big Picture
-My thoughts about active learning is that it was a good thing to start.  Before people only did pe because they wanted an A. But now if you look people are having fun and enjoying or while sweating and trying instead of being forced to do it for an grade.
- Being fit and trying is important to me. I try to do my best on fitness days because i know it helps me long and short term.  If I don't try I get a guilt feeling. 
-I would give myself an A/G. I try to be a leader in class because I'm older and the grade 8's are new. I try to start up the activities too when there's nothing going on. I help with the clean up too and organize the teams sometimes.

Your Body and Health
My motivation to be fit is basketball. To be honest basketball is my life. I always want to improve and be better at the end of the day.  I had  an serious injury this term. I had an LCL sprain. It was really hard for me to step out and watch the class participate as well watching my teammates play basketball. I had determined to come back not the same but faster and stronger. I had 8.9 beep test which was already low for me . I usually get 10-11 in between.  When I came back I had a beep test score of 10.9. For me that was exceptional., as I was coming off an  knee sprain. This was really hard for me to come back to be honest. I had an injury last year to but that was my chest. This year it was my knee. When I did come to class, I really wanted  to participate. So you told me I should go to the weight room or do the exercise which doesn't involve your knee. So I did participate with my knee at fitness days.

Attitude
My attitude towards any gym class is great in my view. I come prepared  mentally and physically. I always have my pe strip. I always have the mentality to participate and try,  I even focus on helping the  younger kids . We were in this position  last year and I got a lot of help from my grade 9 friends. I would also say I bring an positive attitude. I try to be enthusiastic when it's necessary and be serious when needed to.

Growing/Goals
I believe I am growing in most areas of my body, and physique. I am more active then last year, because I know what it takes to go to the next level in basketball. My goals that I have set were getting at least a 11 in the next beep test. I have gotten an 9 then 10 so I believe I am on my way. I also believe that one of my goals is to get better in basketball and my vertical. I have been practicing with my program I have for my vertical jump. And for basketball I'm on the school team. I play centre but now I want to transform into a guard which will higher my chances of going further.
