Buddies: modified baseball and lacrosse

So throughout these two days, i feel like i improved with my leadership skills.

I think that becase, i've been more vocal and outgoing than usual. Maybe its the big sister instincts. Well anyways, i was confident on what i was doing as leader; i was wncouraging, setting an example, and acting like the little buddies are not just team mates but firends.

I was doing modified baseball with Katia, Sarah, and Calista, and let me tell you, they did a great job as leaders and teachers. Katia was really good at being a teacher for the little buddies, while Sarah and Calista were good at cheering for the buddies and encouraging them that they are capable of hitting the ball. All in all, we worked well together and i can see leadership potential among the three.

Samething with lacrosse, but the difference was i noticed that there was one thing that i have to work on. Although i was good at setting the instructions, and brining the team of small buddies together, i was a quiet coach. Unlike Miki, Calista, and Janelle, who were constantly cheering them on, i was rather quiet for a leader. It's becase i didnt know what to say, i was hesitant, which made me feel wierd. Well, i dont like it and next time i'll be as loud as Miki, Calista and Janelle, for i admired their cheering.

Side note:
so far in this buddy project, i feel like i've gotten closer with my buddies (yes i have two). We actually talk to eachother and it wasnt as awkward as it was in the first day. Not only that, being around with my buddies is like having two little sisters with me, and i love it. I hope they see me as a older sister.

Oh no... i'm going to be really sad when this buddy project ends.

Lacrosse

So, half of neufs class amd i decided to organize a lacrosse activity ourselves.

It was pretty difficult to get everyones attention, but we managed to get the group (consists of mostly meufs class and some students from other gym classes) divided into teams. Before we actually play the game, we advised thw red and blue team to practice throwing and catching the ball. At the time, i was in team blue, and there (at first) everyone was passing the ball to the people that they are close to. Im not saying it was a bad thing, its just that be because of that, some of our team mates were leftout and thats an issue. Due to my observation i encouraged everyone to get to know eachother a little so that they can work together effectively. In the end me stepping up and promoting to the team felt good. I also felt that i've grown up a little; taking the initiative to bring a positive contribution to others by myself.

I would also like to add that team work and knowing your matesis very important to me, so that was why i did that.

Ps. Very proud on what we did there, amazing job blue team!! v(｡･ω･｡)v

Hm, Gym Class...why?

lately, i've  been pondering about why i go to gym class.

every class i'm ready with the appropriate attire, and with the appropriate attitude. 

every class i try my best, even though there are activities that i have a burning hatred of (insanity)

 let's talk about the activities that i dont like. 

i can skip class whenever the activity is something that i dont like; i can skip class when ever i want, but i dont, so why?

why do i show up for fitness and follow some sweaty, panting, beefcake on some workout video? 

why do i try my hardest in hill runs, even though my ass hurts like no tomorrow? and why do i keep repeating that?

well, first of all, it's because i want to set an example for those who are giving up or gave up (during fitness); i want to encourage them tat they can do it, i want to make them believe that they can surpass the negativity and the 'i cant do it's. 

also, another reason is that, my friends are there. my friends are the best, they motivate me, and i motivate them. not only that, gym is fun when i'm with them.

Lastly, going to gym class is a way for met to relieve stress. doing fitness takes my mind off of anything that gives me anxiety, and if i try harder in gym, i can relieve my anxiety. in addtion, rugby is the same thing, and its a way to let out my anger. i love it.
