Our 6th-12th charter school caters to the low socioeconomic neighborhoods in the Houston, Texas area. These students are more at-risk of consistently failing classes, dropping out, getting involved in drugs and/or gang related activity, have English as their second language, and struggle to understand the basic importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle. They have hearts of gold, and it's my job to make those hearts shine as bright as they can, and be as strong and healthy as possible. Many of my students come to P.E. never having run one continual mile in their life. Some even come to my class with existing heart and health conditions brought on by obesity. With a little instruction on how to set and track goals, a bright, neon-colored tracking chart (and a fun Pop-Hits playlist), my students quickly become invested in the pursuit of, not only beating their fellow classmates in class challenges, but beating their own personal goals each and every time they set foot in the gym.
