My school belives in the Holistic development of it’s students. This is done through the implementation of AS and PS. AS( activity selection) and PS as in personal sports. Students choose their sport to play for the entire year. for the year academic year 2023-24 I had chosen Health and fitness. As an IBDP student It’s difficult to find time to exercise after school so this is a great way to get some physical activities in.

LO1: identity one’s strengths and areas of growth.

from the beginning, I knew I had decent stamina and endurance. I could run a good distance and keep a steady pace. Also, I had a strong mindset, I always pushed myself when things got tough. However, my flexibility? Touching my toes felt like a distant dream. Also, strength training was an area that I had neglected. doing crunches or doing push-ups was not my idea of fun, but I realized that building strength is essential for a balanced fitness routine.

LO4: show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience.

I’m not going to lie, the middle of this journey felt like running a marathon uphill.

Each milestone reached was a reminder of the progress I was making.
