I displayed effort in our Gymnastics units by trying hard in all of the rotations.Heaps of my other classmates were messing around, which didn’t help. After a couple of lessons though,I stated to enjoy gymnastics. I have never really tried to a cartwheel before and had no idea how to do one but after some lessons I did great. It was actually really cool to get better and my cartwheel is still not perfect, but because I kept trying really hard, I can now do a pretty decent cartwheel. The main things I had to put effort into was remembering to keep my knees straight and being strong with my shoulders.
How does ‘Effort’ affect each dimension of your Hauora?
Effort affects my Taha Tinana because when I try harder in Baseketball, I become more focused It also helps on defense, when you just need to work hard to get back when they make a fast break.
Effort affects my Taha Hinengaro because I get annoyed with my parents sometimes at home, because they seem to nag me heaps, but if I actually try to be more patient with them I find that I don’t get so frustrated. Instead I try to remind myself that they are just trying to help me to do things because they love me, but I do have to put in effort to control my anger sometimes when I feel like snapping back at them.
Effort affects my Taha Whanau because sometimes I am not too good at trying to help my friends out when I know they are having a bad day or when something is getting them down. It is easier to just not worry about it and look after myself, but when I actually make the effort to ask them whats up, it makes me feel pretty cool that I helped my mate out and I feel like a good bugger.
Effort helps me with my goal setting because When I grow up I want to be a lawyer or some type of law pearson but sometimes I get lazy and just end up doing nothing to help my future. So when I remember that if I study I can benefit my future but Somtimes I just slack.
