Physical Activity

Author's Note: This essay is about my physical activity and how it keeps me healthy and fit.

In phy ed for me is the time to get out of the desk and laptop and start getting my energy out and keeping healthy. The value that physical activity provides me with is being healthy and not taking the wrong turn for my body. We keep on having fun games to challenge us to be competitive with our friends and have fun playing that game. The physical activity that we do in gym class keeps me collaborative with my friends and enjoy working out with my friends that are in my class. All the movement that have have helps me keep healthy.

I enjoy physical activity because it keeps me fit and interested in becoming a very athletic person and willing to try new sports that give me awesome experiences. Being physically active is important because it keeps you strong and healthy. How does it keep you healthy? Well being strong and active means your body and keep active to take care of itself. It keeps your bones strong so they don’t break as easily. 

When I have challenge I always try to conquer that challenge for whatever obstacle it is. That’s why physical activity helps me become a better athlete. The challenge, the burst of energy, the lift of your legs moving back and forth just keeps me active and healthy. 

Bad Habit

Author’s Note: What you will be looking for in this piece is what the author was trying to tell the reader, like what is the whole point of this book.

An eating disorder is a horrible thing, people thinking they are “Perfect” or not skinny enough. I believe that the author of the book called  “Perfect”  is trying to interpret the meaning of be who you are and don’t try to change the way you look, or you will be in trouble.  I have learned from this book, how? Well I was always thinking of trying it, and I thought maybe it would change me, but I learned from gym class I learned what I could look like, then I read the book  and I was proud that I wasn't about to start with a bad habit.

Some would say being perfect will get you popularity, or maybe boyfriends, well being perfect doesn't mean anything, you should be happy with who you are with at that moment.  The author made the main character, Isabelle, was bulimic she stood strong trying to keep her issue and got rid of it by finding a new way to change her weight which is awesome for her. Even thought she is a character in a book, it is always the best feeling to stop a habit that you have had for quite some time.

When she changed her thoughts I had changed mine, and mine was not to hurt my body. There is about everyone that would change their body just to get was they think they need, but why? No matter who you are God created someone specially for you.  Just because you aren't the way you want to be doesn't mean harm yourself.

Isabelle didn't think it was harming her, but she finally learned that things weren't the same about her, she was tired, dizzy, and hungry.  I know many people that have this disorder and I have known then before they have started, there is a big difference, it’s scary to see someone you know slowly changing in front of you; not in the good way.

Some people can’t just take the way they are, it’s a sad thing to see people anorexic or just doing harsh things to themselves. The author had a great story, and had an awesome plot. This story is on having a bad habit, and I learned that it seems to be a bad habit to get  into, but just the thought of trying to stop, it’s just like trying to ignore an itch that you have.  We are not perfect, we are different and that’s what we should stay as, just different.
