We had a final fitness testing and even though I didn't do some of the tests nor do I have any posts on my fitness testing nor do I remember any of my past results nor do I have pics -3-, here they are.
Beep test - 8.2 (previous 7.5)
Vertical Jump - (170 - 125 = 45cm)
Push ups - 20
Plank - 30 s
Participation
I've always made an effort to work hard all the time. I've always brought my gym strip and never have been missing. Of course, my actual skill within activities is very bad. Most choice days, I've always chosen games that don't really need real strategy to be good at or at least look like you're good at, so basically never any of the common sports.
Social Responsibility and Contribution
I think that I've been a good contributor to the class. After moving classes, I made some more Gr 9 friends. I admit, I would make a lousy leader so I never had an idea to set up a game by myself. Also, I already mentioned in one of my other mile-long rants that I would never lie because lying about a fitness score really is only lying to yourself.
Healthy Living
Wait, this category includes your past? Shoot. Well, my fitness past is really bland so... but anyways, one thing that really changed from last year is that I joined a sports team and even though I was in China for half the season, I really enjoyed being on a team and making new friends not only in our school but at other schools as well. I never expected to have so much fun on a team but I will definitely try out next year. I also had a really crappy season but that's besides the point. Oh and also, I've beaten Abhi twice while he's beaten me never. Suck it. Outside of sports, I've made a choice to never eat lunch at the lunch break because that's way too early to be eating lunch. I usually wait until I get home to eat lunch. Whether or not that's a good thing, I don't know. But I always eat my breakfast so that's a good thing. I also went up the Grind. See if that doesn't get me a high score in this section.
Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills
I think I have a decent sized and quality blog. Posting evidence is out of the question. My reflecting back on fitness is undoubtedly long and rant-y. I really don't have much else to say here.
Now is where I think of a mathematical equation for my mark. So how about 4x20 = 80% because 4 and 20 makes happy things.
Finally, since is my final post, I would really like to thank Mr Nuffy for being my and our PE teacher. My view on Phys Ed has turned for the better because of you and so have my parents'. Over those 2 years, I've learned so much more than my other 8 years, especially more than my Mrs. Miles year. Because of you, I've made an effort to try in PE class and even though I still may not get straight A's because of this class, My last year of PE will bring so many more memories to come.
Also thanks to all my classmates and changing my life in whatever little way you have. I'll miss you all.

:) Thank you for this post Andi. I am sad that you say this is your last year of PE because I feel like you are just starting to understand it!! I have enjoyed watching you move past the avoidance and blame you used to use and into a personal decision to engage. You are maturing before our eyes and I don't want that to stop. As someone who has A's in other classes I know marks are important to you, but I hope you are also starting to see that all of school is for you (not the teachers or even parents) and that what you learn or take away from each class is so much more important than the grade. In our this is totally the case. You last few months (and the parent post) have shown me that despite taking a little longer than I wanted you ARE indeed starting to investigate the benefits of learning about health. You are no doubt smart enough to also know that 4x20 (is this the joke I think it is? From you?) is huge cop out on your part too. You have strengths and weaknesses like everyone else. So your participation mark is close to 20 maybe even 22/23, your social responsibility is lower as you don't naturally want to engage with your buddy or lead activities (15), your Active Living reflections are getting better but were absent for the most part (12) and your blog is decent and improving near the end for sure!! (20). That up to 67 in my books. If you can get an A in Science 10 then you know full well you haven't researched diet choices and posted them into your blog yet right? I will however split the difference of the two which leaves you at 73 (still a B). More than almost any other class your success here should be based on your LASTING learning and changes and NOT nor mark so please keep up with family hikes and the asking WHY. I am going to miss your humour buddy… have a great summer. Thanks for the kind words.
