I have always excelled in physical activities since day one. From having a family full of athletes I was born a very competitive person. Whenever it came to a game of dodge ball or whiffle ball I was always one of the last people in the game or always on base. When I was little, I was always participating in a sport; I never took a break. I was always pretty good at any athletic games. In high school, I love working out and training for the next sport that I am participating in.

                 In P.E., my teachers, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Resor, made it very clear that if I train in the weight room I will become even better on the court. They gave everyone an ASH sheet, also known as weekly individual accountability sheet. You put your body weight, said if you were in-season, out-of-season, or a non-athlete. Every day of the school week you put down your focus of the day and the exercises that you did and how many reps and sets you did at a certain weight. For example, if my focus was arms: I would say I did bench, one set of ten reps with fifty pounds. Since I’m in-season I would only do two sets, but if I was out-of-season I would do four. I chose to use the ASH sheet because it was something I used every day in the course and to pass the class you had to complete these fully.

                The skills I learned from P.E. will help me a lot when I am a therapist. ASH sheet helped me learn how to keep track of my actions and kept me organized. When I see my clients again, I will look back at my notes and notice everything we talked about so I don’t accidently ask them a question I already asked them before. In my future, The ASH sheet will help me in college, when I work out I will plan on using one. It will help me remember what weight I have done before, compare my body weight from a week ago. The skills I learned from P.E. will help me excel in weight training and in my work life.
