why I push myself
So I remembered this other time where we did fitness as a mass gym class and we had to choose a partner and run around the school while the partner does exercises. I pushed myself along with joel, arjun, gurjap and even nick. If they were slow and I saw them walk i would burst the sprint so they would have to go again and if they tried id go slower and let them catch their breath. I felt like some werent putting any effort.AT the end i was burnt and red all over. Then neufeld asked why do u push yourself. My anwser to that is because I play a physical sport and love to be fit. I just love trying my hardest and challenging myself to overcome new obstacles. At the start when i came to the class i was really underwhelmed by the people here. Honestly this is gonna sound so mean but i didn't think that anyone would try by looking at them at the start of this class. I was totally wrong tho all our class puts a lot of effort and that's what pushes everyone to become better. I like to be a positive vibe in class even when im not mentally prepared but i try nit to show it and it works. People get a positive vibe and instead of saying OHH LOOK AT THIS TRY HARD they tactfully try harder. Thats why I help the other team so the WHOLE class can have a better experience. Like winning is cool but without people trying and it being one sided id rather just leave the class honestly if i get a bad vibe one day. I try my hardest so i can make other do better and also if i can go in pe, have afterschool practice on some days and then go play tennis and then go to the gym. Even though i come at like 9PM i feel happy that I took charge and tried my hardest. I love being fit it makes me feel good. So overall this is gonna sound cheesy but I try my hardest for the benefit of the class and tone it down if it becomes one sided.

This is one of your better posts Cheeseball. I like that you can admit to being wrong about your peers and that while you have a strong personal drive to be a strong athlete you are starting to see how your own enjoyment and success is heavily dependent on the enjoyment and success of the group. That is different than tennis so it has taken you a while to get here. Keep it up.
