I came into this PE class with a skeptical mind - "How will I do in PE when I cannot participate to my desired ability?". I have learned it's not about your fitness level, it's about how hard you try. You must live up to your own personal best.  I attend class with a positive attitude and a smile on my face to really create a good atmosphere for my peers.  I show my peers respect by encouraging them and simply being nice. I know my attendance could use some improvement but I do attend class as much as possible considering my appointments and illness. I am always prepared for PE with proper etire. I enjoy the sports and activities I participate in this class. However I struggle when it comes to fittness, such as the extended beep test. It's very frustrating when my body cannot do what I would like it to do. I was not physicaly drained after the second beep test but my shoulders simply hurt too much to continue on. I really hope my body can allow me to reach that point of absolute exertion. I am still struggling to really understanding my body's limitations. I constantly stive to be the best I can be in this class and enjoy doing so. I am ready to begin improving from here on out.

Playing baseball with our fun and vibrant class is always a blast. I played back catcher for the first time and really enjoyed it. I have difficulties batting so I hope to improve my skill. Baseball is a fun sport and I hope we can play it more.
For the 25 minute run on wednesday I was injured so I walked 4 laps. I have to set realistic goals due to my ailments. The next run I feel I should be able to complete 6 laps at a light jogging pace.
