My favourite moment

Hiya Internet,

So on April 29th in Get Fit we went to hot yoga. But let me tell you, when they say hot... They mean it! But that wasn't my favourite moment, I'll tell you about my lunchtime adventure. I had totally forgotten about hot yoga so I forgot to pack a towel, money, my waiver, a tank top and a water bottle. I had decided that I would run back to my house which is quite far, promptly pick up my stuff and run back. I thought this was a good idea because my mom had been sick this past week. As I set out at the beginning of lunch I forgot my gym bag to hold everything. But on I went, and I proceeded to run all the way home. As I arrived at my house I collected all my items and made a satchel out if my towel to carry them back. My mom then opened her bedroom door and asked if I wanted a ride back. When I got back to the school I felt as if all eyes were on me as I walked up the stairs with my towel satchel. So embarrassing! I feel strangely proud of this moment however. I ran all the way to my house which is normally a 30 minute walk and I was confident enough to walk through the school with my little towel satchel. I just felt like sharing this... For the actual final time. Signing off.

Year End Reflection

Hi Internet,

So here we are at the end of the year. It feels crazy as to how fast it went! I still remember all the fun we had especially at fencing (which was my favourite field trip). I did so much this year that I never thought I would be able to do and I am going to miss Get Fit because of it. I actually snowshoed which is so Canadian! 😜 Lol.  I beat my friend Kyle in a foot race, I successfully completed hot yoga, I did 2 on the sit and reach(!), I tried tae kwondo and SO much more! I feel that this year has been the best one of high school yet because not once was I forced to play basketball! And I have yet to totally embarrass myself, so that's good. But seeing as there is only tommorow left I hope it doesn't happen. I feel that this year I have been working very hard. I know it's not enough to say I bring my gym strip everyday and I rarely miss class (which I do). But this year I have tried to bring more than just the smile on my face and a positive attitude (although both are very important) this year I have tried to bring intensity. I try to stay motivated and excited to do each work out and I always try to compete with myself. I think this is important because I am not always going to be able to workout with someone. This year I have increased my self motivation and my biceps 😜. For these reasons I believe I deserve maybe a 90%... I am so glad that I have gotten to be in this class. I made so many friends that I never would have if I didn't. Having three grades definitely influenced me because I could look up to all the grade 11 and 12ers. I feel that I got to workout with great people and that is what made get fit the best! GET FIT FOR LIFE YO! Lol I'm such a dork. Anyways. Thanks for sharing this year with me! For the final time... Signing out.

Fitness

Hiya Internet,

So a couple of weeks ago (or maybe just last week) was the last fitness testing of the year! I remember feeling so excited to see how much I've grown this year. So we entered the room to get ready for the beep test. You know it never hits me until the guy says 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 that I will have to really run the beep test. Anyways we did the beep test and I survived minor injuries (they should call it slalom instead) and I ended up with 8.6! This is pretty good for me seeing how I normally don't last until 8.4! After the beep test I was pretty pumped to finish the other tasks. This lead me to doing quite well on the other tasks. I got a personal best in push ups which was 30 (regular).  I remember in grade eight I couldn't even complete 10! For plank I stayed aloft for 1:30 which is okay. For T-test I got 12.35. For board touches another personal best which was only 8! For max vertical I got my usual 35 cm. And for sit and reach I FINALLY reached 2! I feel overall I did pretty well for the last test of the year. I hope u can beat all of these if I ever have P. E. again!

Miss Representation

Hey Internet,

Okay. So I am a very particular person. If given the chance I could probably spend hours talking about the things I don't like about my face and body. For some reason I thought this was natural. But after watching Miss Representation I realized how horrible it is. I never knew any of the facts that we saw and I must say I was appalled. I was really scared to find out how many people have eating disorders, anxiety, or depression. I think that as kids we are taught to look, dress and act a certain way. So when we grow up it seems okay to judge everyone based on if they fit the criteria of "beautiful".

Okay... I am going to do something that I have never done before. I am going to post a piece of my poetry. This is new to me so I hope that it is well received...
