This PE class so far is amazing. The class doesn't just teach me about my body, but also about leadership. Something I'm used to because I have two little brothers at home. And for another reason but I'll talk about that later.
My preparation this year so far is pretty good. There were a few times where I brought the wrong shoes to the wrong location (my poor Hyperdunks :/) and at first I had no lock, now I do, but wrong clothes are a rarity. It's never happened so far but maybe it'll happen once. It has happened every year.
I contribute to class in a few ways. Like that one day I stepped up to switch to another team in handball, even though the team I was in had a few friends and I didn't know any people on the other team. Also when the Grade 9s in class need help with their blogs or anything of that matter, I'll be there to help out. Also in the locker room, now that I have a lock, I lock up special items of classmates. And encouragement is something I like to do. It's in me to spread positivity.
Fitness... Yeah, I try really hard but the reason my Beep Test score went from 8.6 to 7.9 because my shoelaces on both shoes went undone on around 2.3. Moral of the story, don't buy LeBron 9 Lows, horrible laces. They were double knotted too. Anyways I'll try to make 9 sometime soon. Oh and we did the pond run in late September or early October, not so sure, but I set a new record and didn't stop running in the run section once. No lie, ask Miguel, he stuck with me through that run. I used to walk a lot during the pond run last year, now I'm consistent. I give and show full effort in fitness and try my hardest to show improvement. I guess I could also put the fact that I'm in Junior Hip Hop this year, which counts as extra curricular fitness.
Leadership is a big part of not only this class, but my life. In my culture, my dad is the oldest child on his side of the family, so he is the "kaka" and everyone else in that generation's kids will look up to his oldest son. Which is me. I lead my cousins, brothers, no matter what age. Except for the future kaka. So basically I'm used to this leadership thing. It's evident to others and you Neuf. Like I said before, when I switched teams in handball. And also the Grade 9s come to me for help, especially my two boys from Cambridge (yes they're Earl and Miguel). And honestly I want to try running the class one day like some other Grade 10's have. They've all been girls so far (not that that's bad I'm just saying) and I'll be the first guy if Neuf lets me. I want to see if how I lead my family works on the class, you guys. I mean we are family right?
So yeah if I were to give myself a Work Habits grade, I'd give my self a G. For good. And Neuf I'm actually willing to run the class one day if you like. I hope to see this class to come together and become family in the end of the year.
God Bless.
