2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

Every year one of my New Year's resolutions was always to go to the gym and exercise. however, after many years of failed attempts, I finally decided that this year was the year to change. So when it was early January, I started going down to the gym and I made a small schedule for myself so at least once a week I would need to follow that schedule. I would go on three different machines regularly which were the running machine, the cycling machine, and the weights. As I previously mentioned I am not the strongest when it comes to physical activities so this was a good experience for me. I also mentioned that usually taking up a physical activity helped me to better manage my time and my lifestyle so this was another opportunity after my volleyball experience in which I could manage and schedule my time better so that I made time to focus on my well-being as well.
