Miss Representation

Miss Representation is one of my favourite documentaries because it not only sends out a good message, it also teaches a life lesson that we would take with us. I have watched this documentary before and after watching it, I felt like I have been wronged all along. Since childhood, my actions and my thoughts have always been influenced by media and I have not even noticed. I feel like these issues that Miss Representation brings is important and should be known by everyone. A few weeks ago, we had a workshop about teen safety. The woman who was leading the workshop had taught us similar issues that Miss Representation represented. I think that there should be a class, similar to the workshop, in all schools that would teach us about equality, feminism, racism, and all of these important ideas that we seem to overlook and neglect in our society. We think we know the definition of these terms but we don't really know the negative impact it has on us. It will take a long time for women to be treated equally, but I hope that we all realize that we are not respecting each other and we are not able to move forward in doing so.

Fitness day - beep test!

On Tuesday, it was fitness day and we did the beep test. I got to level 8! I felt like I did okay, but it was not my very best. I usually get a level 7 and 8 and I always strive to achieve a higher level. I could have done better but after a long weekend I was not feeling motivated to reach my highest. Although, I should have still tried to reach my goal and now I want to do a re-do of the beep test. Fitness is very important and the beep test is one of those types of fitness activity that you really want to do your very, very best! I hope on Friday's fitness day I reach my goal to get a level 9 or 10! MOTIVATION AND DETERMINATION IS THE KEY WOOHOO! YAY GET FIT!

Aqua Fit @ YMCA!

Today, we went to do aqua fit at YMCA. I had a lot of fun! It's interesting and new to me and I did not realize how much hard work you do. It's just like lifting weights but you're in the water doing exercises instead! I also hope to come back during the summer! YAY AQUA FIT! :D

Zumba!

Today, we went to Woo Kim to do Zumba! I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! :D Dancing is one of my favorite ways to get fit and I just had a blast as we did different types of dance like bhanghra, salsa, and hip-hop. And when the lights in the room were off and the disco ball was there, it really pumped my mood up! It was awesomeee! It felt like a party! I am already thinking of doing some Zumba classes at Woo Kim over the summer with my mom and sister! YAY GET FIT YAY ZUMBA!
