Test Reflection

I had to shape up and start doing my work on time so I can get a good average for the end of semester. My discipline at school has changed a lot to because of football. I used to have bad behavior in the beginning of the semester because I did not think high school cared, but they do if not they will tell my coach. I also would never wear a school shirt because I do not like wearing school shirts. Until the day I walked into reading class my teacher saw me without a school shirt and she took me to the principal

How do your critical factors align with the roles that were portrayed by your IPPE-3 Clinical Instructors throughout the past two weeks? What specific activities did you engage in during IPPE-3 that capitalized upon your critical factors?

At Dodge City High School I was in many activities such as The Pride of Southwest Kansas, varsity tennis, drill team, enriched learning, and many other honors classes, I was even the president of the decoration committee my junior year. After my sophomore year I added another egg to my basket, and was hired at my first job. With my first job I helped my mom by getting my own phone, paying for the bill, and buying my own items and necessities. But with all these activities and work, I started to get tired, but more than anything, I got lazy, and careless. I started to spend more time procrastinating and doing things last minute. I started showing up late to class which led to not even showing up at all. At this point in my life, everything was going down hill. I got dismissed from drill team, I went from first chair in the band, to dead last, and my grades reflected my attendance. I pushed everything to the side and blamed it on “senioritis”. I thought I was doing everything right and I did what I wanted, but it wasn't until I got called down to the office for a meeting, that I realized that I was putting to shame every effort and all the time my mom spent on raising

Before playing football I had barely any discipline, I never listened to anyone, including my family, teachers, or any other authority. I wasn’t necessarily a bad kid, but I would do things such as talk back, or not complete any of my schoolwork. I was also out of shape during this time of my life, which consisted of a pattern of mainly eating, sleeping, and playing a bunch of video games. There were those rare days

Ever since I can remember, I have been playing sports. I played a sport each season and excelled in each sport I played, most likely due to a high level of coordination at a young age. Playing hockey and squash in the winter before middle school, soccer and football in the fall, and the best season of all due to the range of such high level sports, spring, in which I played baseball, lacrosse, and tennis. I knew that I had the most skill in baseball, tennis, and hockey. One day, the day of a little league baseball game, I was sick and been throwing up the night before, my coach told me I did not have to play. The decision was in

I had gone for tryouts but I didn’t make the team because of my effort. In my 10th grade Year I was still a little bit lazy but I went out for spring football and got in shape and even pushed myself to not be lazy. After my 10th grade year I went for summer tryouts and practice for 11th grade year. I had made the team but I want as good as the others. I was mainly in shape but just a tad strong. I had never got in a game of my 11th grade year except for one but that was just for two plays. I made a bow that I would focus and work the hardest in my 12th grade year. When my 12th grade year arrived I worked hard and have gotten stronger and my opportunity came when one of my teammates had gotten injured, so they put me in and I demolished the offense I had gotten two sacks and 3 tackles it’s not much but it was enough to prove that I was working hard. Everybody was surprised at my performance and was amazed. After that Game I started my next five games. After those games I began to see myself decline because I had girl troubles, I was messed up in the head so bad I couldn’t even perform

My mom has recently become concerned with my sister and I, because she feels as though we overwhelm ourselves with our class load and our extracurricular activities. This weakness has caused harm to myself in past events not only physically, but also mentally. Softball has caused a permanent injury in my right wrist from overuse, I have to wear a wrist brace whenever it starts to hurt again, which is every couple of months. Back-to-back tennis and softball has caused tendonitis in my left elbow, which also stemmed from overuse. I have also accumulated shin splints in both legs, which tend to come back during sports season. One week during the last school year, I was swamped with homework from all honors classes and debate work for an upcoming tournament that weekend. That entire week I stayed up until one in the morning and woke up at six in the morning, causing sleep deprivation. One night, I ended up breaking down and crying because I wasn’t going to have enough time to finish all of my work for the next morning and the upcoming debate tournament. I was so stressed out and so tired that I woke up the next morning sick from no apparent cause, I slept the entire day and finished my work from the night before and returned to school the next day better than ever. That night taught me that everyone needs a break every now and then. I fear that in the future that

Before freshman year, I was a very lazy person. I never cared about school or anything else in particular except for the sports I did. I have always had a passion for soccer. Ever since I was about 3, I’ve been playing the sport. Having such experience has given me a natural understanding of the game. I’d say im a very gifted individual when it comes to soccer. And all the running and conditioning I had done for soccer also prepared me for track. These sports all took dedication. But when high school came about, I didn't know what to expect.

In middle school I became involved in sports especially basketball. The basketball coach, Mr. M, approached me one day and asked me if I would be willing to try out for the basketball team. At the time I was not thinking about trying out because I had never been part of a team. I loved playing street ball but never thought I was good enough to make the school team. When Mr. M asked me to try out I immediately thought it was weird because I didn’t know if I could trust him. There were very few people I trusted at that time and I was afraid that he would just be another person in my life that let me down. I knew it was no secret that I could be a behavior problem at times. So it was surprising to me that Mr. M was asking me to become part of his team. I made the team but I was still getting in trouble. Trouble seemed to always find me. Mr. M was a very strict coach, but he did not single me out. He would have private conversations with me about his expectations for me as a player. Mr. M basically told me I better get myself together or I would not be a part of the team anymore. I did not want that to happen because I finally found something that I was very passionate about and I did not want to lose it. I began attending school on a regular basis, and staying out of trouble. With the help from Mr. M, I completed all of my homework and my grades were the highest they had ever been. He would

Now, I still workout because I do not want to drop my level, and with dropping level comes less competition time. However, not only sports receive this attitude. I have learned how to transfer that mindset into schoolwork. My father has always said that school is most important. Knowing this, a person can see why putting earnest effort is important. Academics can determine your future, and obtaining an award for academics, to me, is more important than receiving an award in athletics. Putting extra time in to studying, will benefit a person in their burdensome and strenuous school careers. Good grades are what I desire most, and they can be easier to obtain with an exceptional work effort. I am excited what the future has in store for me, because of overcoming this experience. I know that if I put my mind to the test, I can persevere because of my determination to succeed and do well in this beautiful

The gym became my obsession and it began affecting my grades at school because I would often stay there late neglecting my schoolwork. One of my teachers contacted my mom since I had been missing a lot of assignments, once my mom found out the only thing she could think of doing was taking away from gym membership. With my gym membership gone I began to panic how was I going to continue to lose weight, sure I still had volleyball but what would happen once volleyball season was over. A few weeks go by and with the end of volleyball season coming to the end, I begged my mom to let me have my gym membership back, she did not agree. I tried everything to get my membership back; I tried to make a deal with my mom that if my grades improved if I

When I was in 9th grade ran 2400 meters on the 12 min run but at the end of the 9th grade year ran 2600 meters on the 12 min run. So as you can see I made some very big improvements on my 12 min run. I also got a 14 laps my 9th grade baseline and I got 17 for the post test and in 10th grad I got 17 for my baseline and 18 on the post test. I got a 35 on the pushup test for my baseline in 9th grade and for the posttest I got a 40. I got a 120 on the bench press in 9th grade and a 130 for my post rest in 9th and 10th grade. I got a 30 in 9th grade for my 1 min sit up and a 32 for my post test and I only got only a 25 for my post test in 10th grade.

My Mom and my coaches was yelling at me and I was riding the bench because of my grades I was falling all my class and my mom was not going to have that she said if my grades were not up I was not going to be able to play sports and that all change when I started the book skipping downing On Course.The problems I had before I started the book was that I was lazy and I procrastination all the time never wanting to do my work and never bring home homework and never turing stuff in on time.

Over the past week, I have taken the time to reflect on what and how I participated in my mock paper. As a writer of three stories and production assistant, I would say I did my share and more, making sure to offer ideas and complete my part of the assignment. Although I did not have a leadership role, I offered to write a third article and find extra information to incorporate in the paper.
