Reflection about Miss Representation

The documentary 'Miss Representation' did a great job of portraying how media effects women in many different ways, physically, mentally and emotionally. In my perception true beauty is in the inside and has nothing to do with ones physical appearence. Although in todays times worldly entanglements has made it all about the outside. As for the media, it is often said that the media is to blame for the way women are expected to "look and behave". But, I feel its all about ones self, if you are in control of yourself and your body, then no one but yourself is to blame. Media does exploit the bodies of women but the only way for that to stop is if other women around the world dont follow that "look." Buying clothes that show a lot of skin and appear innappropraite obviously shows that you want to be like those women being shown in movies and the media. Girls,boys, women and men are being influenced in many  wrong ways but one has to be strong and not follow those manners. "Its your mind, body, and soul CONTROL it and appear the way you want to, NOT how others want you to." Respect yourself as then others will respect you in return. I believe that its your own decision of how you want to be treated, and how you want to physically look. Be your own person, why be like every-other person/ women out there?

Interview Recap

So far, this semester has been very successfull for myself  as I'm always trying my best to achieve every goal that I put forth. This leaves me with many proud moments which I learn from and also allow myself to form much more challenging goals.

Proud Moments

During this amazingly active semester I often reflect on a few of my truely proud moments such as the time our class worked out in the weight room, the grouse mountain field trip hike and the commuity run. I found that because I was given proper information as to how to workout my body with the correct type of equiptment, it became fun and not like my other experiences in the weight room! Also, hiking up the grouse mountain during a frame time that I doubted myself  upon, achieving a very quick pase to my standard was very exciting! Just as my recent run around the communtiy also was, I didnt stop at all! That was a HUGE accomplishment for myself. I reflect upon these kinds of events that make me push myself harder to exceed my limits.

Learning Aspect

Physical Education most deffinetley has a highly educational part to it just as much as the physical side. Being around great P.E staff that train my mind to go against my comfort zones in order to experience the gratitude of 'giving it my all' effects me in the most positive way. I have learned to go through physicall pain as the only way to fully reach my goals. Also this type of learning doesnt only aply in P.E but I take this eles where and use it to again only expereince success.

Smester End Goals

As I progress with my dad-day P.E goals I also focus on my long-term goals. Running/Speed/Agility and Endurance are all my main aspects of long-term accomplishments. I know that conquoring this type of a goal takes time and a lot of physical training. I hope that I can build my stamina and speed throughout the rest of the smester. Taking part in activities such as the beep test  shows where my fitness level is, and i simply want to improve the level that I currently stand at.

Field Trips

I'm glad to here that the skating field trip was fun for all the girl that went, especailly for the ones that had never skated before!! :) Its always fun trying something new.
As the school time table has changed to accomadate for the popuation of our school, it also brings some downfalls. Such as not having enough time to go out for GET FIT FIELD TRIPS! It sucks, because it brings a division to missing parts of the classes before and after.Personally I find it difficult to miss out on class as I have one of my main academics,Bio before G.T. Many times I have experienced the drawback of falling behind and catching up on missed work. Im not quite fond of that tention, therefor I choose not to miss out unless health issues/ emergencies. Also the fact of having a much greater work load takes effect.
However,I could then also arguing the fact that in the grand seem of things missing one class doesnt really matter. Especailly when theres oppurtunites to be physically active and try new activities which I most likely   wouldnt on my own time. So, I feel this situation is a bit sticky,but I tend to go with my own feelings and preception of whats best for me. I also hope this doesnt state whether my focous on this class is not important because it deffinetly is! Without physical activity lifes boring!      

My Progress In Get Fit

       Get Fit! Getting Fit has been going quite well so far as I already feel a huge difference in my body. Especially in my areas of weaknesses such as, strength in both my upper and lower body as well as stamina. I believe having class 5 days a week makes me quite tired, but at the same time motivates me to exercise my body as much as I can in those 5 days! ( I know, that sounds weird)  My inner motives and mind set play a huge role as to how I physically preform. I want to be able to be one of the top runners in the class not to show others, but simply for myself. However, I think it all starts in my mind, if I set myself up to something and am able to successfully accomplish the task; it motivates me even more to exceed it next time. (It’s like a motive in a motive…. Get it?...lol) Although this is my personal mind set, some days are naturally LAZY SLUGGISH DAYS, that doesn’t mean I’m not trying or don’t care it’s just my body being tired from a full day of sitting in hard classes! I look forward to what comes along in our class, I’m ready to learn absolutely everything and anything nothing in particular as long as I just enjoy it and come out with a smile. I enjoy the steps of becoming a healthy person and being surrounded by great role models!

The Beginning of Getting Fit

Whoo Hooo!! My Get Fit class has finally started, its been about 2 weeks so far and i love it! The variety of activities I take part in with my class has deffinitely changed my feeling towards actually wanting to get fit in every aspect. Someone once told me " If your not mentally fit you can't be physically fit." Having being told this I dont  just want to become physically fit but also mentally fit by exergerting my limits and really pushing to become the athlete I want to. It's been an awsome two weeks so far and I'm looking forward to trying new things to make Getting Fit fun and worth while!! Having an amazing role model like Mrs.Phillips makes Getting Fit 10x better!
