Personal Narrative: My Life As A Freshman

151 Words1 Page

Since elementary school, I grew up in an environment in which it was commonly believed that academics were of paramount importance. Unfortunately, upon entering sixth grade, I was officially obese from lack of outdoor activity. I attracted looks of disgust daily from everyone around me. Even the pediatrician I went to gave me a disappointed expression as I had "the blood-pressure of a 25 year old." My happy ending did not come from expensive diets or medication, but rather something more recreational; Suffern Varsity Crew. In crew, I eventually found a normal weight, but along the way, I discovered something more valuable. I found a home and a community with a place for me. My above average weight helped me become one of the three freshmen

    Sophomore year was an especially hard year for me. It was my second year at Wahlert High School and because I was the new kid the beginning of freshman year, I still felt like the new girl. Plus, I was trying to maintain my social life, play volleyball, participate in band, choir and show choir, act in plays, and manage school and homework. School has always been easy for me. Kindergarten through eighth grade I never actually tried on assignments, or even tests for that matter.

    A time I faced my biggest challenge was halfway into my sophomore year in high school. Up until then I was pretty healthy, but not obsessed with being overly healthy. I did everything any typical high schooler did. I stayed up late, got up early, went out on the weekends, but never to big parties. I never did anything that I knew would harm my health, so I wasn’t exactly like most high schoolers.

  • The 3 Programs That Need To Be Considered As A Component Of K-12 Health Education Curriculum

    According to Harkness and DeMarco (2016, p. 478), “an estimated 17% of children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 are obese, and that about 1 in 7 low-income, preschool-aged children are obese.” Many children are making unhealthy choices, overeating, and are not getting enough physical activity. It is important that the school promote a lifelong physical activity and healthy eating to all the students. Likewise, a high quality physical education must be provided by the school that teaches students self-management and to be more active. The physical education curriculum should encourage activities and sports that students enjoy and promote physical, mental, emotional, and social development (Harkness and DeMarco, 2016, p. 471).

    My first impression of Will was that he was extremely small for the average sixth grade student. He was about 4’10” or so and maybe 75 pounds. He was perfectly dressed in Under Armour sports attire and matching Nike athletic shoes and socks; an outfit I have since learned defines his “away from school” character. Will came to school with every possible supply on the list the sixth grade team had mailed to him weeks before properly labeled with his name and homeroom teacher. This young man was ready to begin life as a middle school student.

    During my freshman year, I was largely unwilling to try new experiences and opportunities and to step outside of my comfort zone. I was more of a reserved person and would focus primarily on my academics rather than extra curricular activities or helping out in the community. If something wasn’t required, I likely would not have done it. As I moved through freshman and sophomore year, I began to see all the opportunities that the school and other organizations were providing the students and the benefits of partaking in such activities. As a sophomore, I decided to begin branching out and expanding my horizons.

    So many students that were judged to be unathletic have missed out on an excellent opportunity to become athletic. As stated by writer Mark Trapp, “If children are never allowed to fail, they will never succeed (Source D). As that point is addressed, yet another question can be posed on this subject: Even if a person is unathletic, why is it acceptable to exclude anyone that is attempting to maintain a good regimen of health and wellness? Discouragement of the unathletic people can result in sedentary lifestyles and can contribute to the widespread epidemic of obesity.

    I am one of those people who believed whatever happens in movies at college, actually happens in real life. Well that wasn’t the case for me. I remember my high school teachers telling me that professors don’t care about their students nor do they make exceptions, while that is partially correct, it is not as bad, as I thought it was. Also, I was kind of prepared for university by my senior class teachers, who tried their best to make it feel as if we were in college. Before attending UC Davis by few weeks, I thought I would make a lot of friends and have more strict professors, but that’s not how it went down.
