Mickey's Active learning blk (with ms.miles)

1.During PE this year, how have you shown you are prepared and willing to participate 
in a variety of activities?  On what days have you participated to your best effort and 
why?  What days have been a struggle for you and why?
This year I always was prepared for Active Learning class all the time (in gym strips etc). I was willing to participate in group games, fitness, and other similar things. I usually participate in activities and put my best effort into it because Active Learning was really fun and I want to stay in shape. However, I don't always try on tuesdays and fridays because those were fitness days. Even though I always want to stay in shape,  my mind always tells me not to try. I think I should actually tell myself to try and to work even harder so I could achieve my goal.
2.How do you contribute to the overall success of the class?  What kind of attitude do 
you bring and why?  How do you interact with other students in our class?
In class I contribute in activities a lot but I'm not the type of person that would take a role in leadership and lead the class.I usually come to class and play some basketball with friends before the bell rings so I think I bring a good and happy attitude to class because playing basketball really motivates. I'm pretty sociable in class, I can talk with classmates but I usually just focus when participating in an activity.
3.Describe your participation during fitness days - have you been able to push yourself 
physically?  What types of fitness activities do you enjoy the most?  What fitness 
goals do you have for the rest of the year? 
On fitness days, I only push myself when we're doing something that I like/competitive. I don't enjoy fitness activities such as insanity, community run, etc. I enjoy fitness activities such as  the beep test because it's really competitive. As for a fitness goal for the rest of this year, I want to reach 12 and above for the beep test!
4.What does "leadership" mean to you?  Who are the best leaders in our class - why?
In Active Learning,  I think leadership means to take a role in class and to show the class new games/activities. In Ms.Miles class, I think the Gr.9s show the most leadership (not to mention any names), I think they show more leadership because they had experience from Gr 8/last year.
5.What improvements would you like to make in PE by the end of the year?  What are 
you the most proud of so far?
I am proud of getting 10.5 on my first beep test and I would like to improve my endurance and to try in class.
6.Finally, what letter grade A, B, C+, C, C- (gulp) best represents the effort you just described? 
I think the letter grade that best represents me is a 'B' because I need to work on my leadership and I need to try even harder on fitness days.
