I always participated in class because I strive to improve. I learned the parts of the racquet, how to serve, the boundaries of the court, how to hit a birdie, and how to play singles and doubles. What I need to improve on is maneuvering to a birdie when it is about to land farther away from me. At those specific moments I usually miss the birdie. I did not reach my full potential because I need to work more on my communication and accuracy. Even though people can 't be entirely perfect, I know I can improve. I usually work on a skill many times until it is good enough. I wish I tried a bit more to learn how to serve a little earlier in the course, because at the time I did my best, but I know I could 've gotten help a little earlier. When it came time to participate and play I did not shy away and I challenged myself. I did not bring negative experiences to the class and my contributions were constructive and helpful because I would sometimes compliment other teams and my partner to share positivity. I deserve 12.5 out of 12.5 for participation points because I always participated when it came to games and rallying and I never did not play if did not want to. I always did what I was suppose to do. I deserve 12.5 out 12.5 for skill improvements because I strived for improvement and improved in learning boundaries, serving, and hitting. I did not stop

    Thus far, I have acquired the skills of passing the ball, serving overhand, and setting the ball. Unfortunately, I failed to attend the first practice. As a result, I do not know how to properly serve underhand. Practice is every Friday night from six o’clock until six forty-five at the Anderson Farm Park. I relish a game we played in which a person serves the ball to the other side of the net and attempts to hit another player with the ball.…

    I have learned a great many things while I was a foreign exchange student in Winfield High School in United States. Before I came to America, I was shy, had low self-esteem, and gave up easily. But after I came to America, I can see that I am changed. I have been more confident through presenting my several projects and speaking in front of many people with English in classes. And at first, it was hard to talk to someone whom I have never met before, but now I feel more comfortable with that and it helped me to make many friends.…

    The place where I spend my days is enclosed from the rest of the public. A place, that leaves my forehead trickling down with sweat. Where the wire fences carry windscreens, at the height of seven feet. A height that should prevent balls from escaping the cage. On the ground, lays a foundation of smooth cement colored a soft shade of red with six green rectangles reaching the length of 75ft.…

    This class on Race, Gender, Class in Sports has made me think of things that I never even thought of before. I played sports, but never thought anything more than I played the sport and I enjoyed it, I never thought of how we got to this sport I play, or how I as a woman am able to play sports, or even how the game came to be. Some lessons I learned over this course are sports have come a long way, each sport has their own history, sports should rely on performance, to not take sports for granted, that race, gender and class are still the foundation of sports, and that we will always have obstacles to overcome in sports. In sports we will always be trying to strive and improve sports through race, gender and class along with trying to rely on performance to guide us in the…
