My Artifact
Personal Health and Awareness
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, the first thing I will do is acknowledge my resistant feelings with motivation. I ask myself, “Why do I feel unmotivated?”. Doing this helps me to identify what is causing my tiredness. This is an important step because I find myself ignoring my problems if I don’t. I will not blame myself for procrastinating, and instead spend my energy focusing on the task at hand.
Taking care of my mental health helps me focus. I do this by spending time to reflect on my feelings by drawing or listening to music. Both of these activities give me a way I can express my emotions. I value this because I realize that by communicating my thoughts, my relationship with myself and other people will become healthier and happier. I also go on 1-2 hour walks every day and do light exercise such as stretching, which helps clear my mind and is important for my physical heath.
Core Competency Reflection
I am kind to others, and support others when they need this. I do this by is including others when they feel excluded. Passing the ball, brightening the conversation, and being encouraging are ways I demonstrate this trait.
I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experience. When the teacher is displaying how to do a sport, I will listen attentively and apply the knowledge I learn to the sport I play. When we are given tests and study sheets, I will make sure to absorb the information and use it when we play an actual game.
I understand my learning is continuous and my identity will continue to evolve. Reflecting on my mistakes and accomplishments were vital parts of my P.E. experience. Acknowledging my mistakes and working to improve them has continually changed myself and my abilities in gym.
I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share. During practice, I will make an effort to be a leader by being inclusive, listening and responding to others, and trying my hardest whenever I play a sport. This is important because it fosters an environment of respect and belonging.
