Task 1 My own fitness past and future Growing up I was an active child, well as active as a child can be. Unfortunately the older I got the active I was; instead of playing outside I would watch T.V. In primary school I didn’t participate in any sports because I was afraid of failing or make a fool of myself. It wasn’t until I got to high school that I decided that I needed to at least try, it was a fresh start and a chance for me to improve myself but I was still afraid. What I…

Every day for the last 6 months has been the same. Each beginning by walking across the road to the same old cafe. I now know all the cracks on the pavement and could easily make it through my day with my eyes shut. I walk straight past the counter without having to order, then sit in my usual seat by the window alone, take out my laptop and wait for my coffee. The only thing I have ever known to change is whether I am gazing at the sun, the rain or even occasionally snow through the cafe’s…

school and college. In these two stages there are a lot of ___ and similarities. A wide changes cones in a person’s life some are ___ to their expectations and some beyond. Another thing about these stage are the memorable moments, which we spend with our friends and class fellows. Both stages are similar and contrast in terms of academic regulations, time scheduled as well the culture practiced by each student. Like when we at the college we have a lot of things similar to our college. The…

I have had an overall excellent experience in gym class this past semester. Over the past few months, I feel I have achieved a lot and achieved personal goals through time and perseverance. I feel I have improved dramatically in multiple aspects of my personal fitness and overall health. I really enjoyed the fitness days that, not only helped me stay physically active, but also cope with stress from other classes. Personally, I think that I have improved quite a lot this past semester and…

she shouldn’t have, waited last minute to write a reflection, and edit. Living on copious amounts of caffeine to keep herself awake was enough to work until two in the morning hit her. As she continues to write her reflection in a groggily induced state, she starts to drift off into a deep sleep. While she was in her sleep, she started to dream… Ashley abruptly woke up from her sleep at her desk. She was completely distraught because she…

Since the last reflection, we’ve only had a couple of sessions at the Burkhart Center. In those two sessions, my group and I have seen tremendous changes in the kids in the best possible ways. We only have a few more sessions left and with the time we have left our goal is to get all the kids as comfortable as possible expressing themselves more openly or period. After having gone to the Burkhart center a few times now, the kids are engaging really well with us and the activities we plan for…

working for an amazing company downtown, and I met a lot of friends. However, my most favorite thing about my senior year was the long and arduous process of applying to colleges, and deciding where to go. It was an adventure that allowed me to pave the way for my current lifestyle. In my junior year, I started looking up on colleges that I want to apply to. Since I started this process I set my sights to one particular school: Meadows University. I remember my first time hearing about the…

I have never really known the true meaning of life. When I was younger I was reckless, so reckless that I wasn't afraid of anything. Breaking bones? I’d done it. I wasn't aware of how precious life was, I didn't care. However as life’s gone on I've changed, now I am extremely grateful for the life I have lived and the life I am living currently. I was taking life for granted. I'd do all these crazy things, not caring what people said or thought of me. I'm not going to lie, I felt great I…

Children in elementary schools; are not old enough, do not have a reason, and have not reached a level of maturity required, to have a cell phone. An eleven-year-old child is not ready for a cell phone. At this age, they do not have a reason or need for a personal cell phone. A child in this age range has not matured. Allowing a child in elementary school to have a personal cell phone is a mistake. Elementary School aged children are between the ages of five and eleven. At this point, they have…

according to mamavation.com, “School lunches are made with conventional food, meaning no certified organic ingredients are used.” Which is bizarre. But while all of this is happening some schools are trying to fix this problem. In the same article, it states, “People are trying to make school lunches better, but now the food they are serving has fewer calories, fat, and more.” This is bad because kids won’t get enough healthy food in their bodies. Another reason isn’t about the lunch food,…
