Decisions can significantly impact a person's life, especially when it comes to drug use, which has detrimental physical and mental effects. Choosing the right company and avoiding substance abuse is crucial.
Personal Connection
Throughout this unit I had learned many different ways I can become overall physically fit by applying things such as my resting heart. Overtime as I workout to achieve my fitness goal I will be checking my resting heart rate to see if it is in the right range and is improving.
Fit Theory & Nutrition
Fit theory and Nutrition connect with each other as you have to be physically fit to be healthy, and healthy to be physically fit as they are both aiming towards keeping you healthy and physically active. In which you have to workout and have the right diet just for you.
Personal Connection
Throughout this unit I learnt that one decision can change a persons life. Drugs can cause many bad effects on a person both physically and mentally. I learned to pick the right people that I want around me as I do not want to live that lifestyle considering I am lucky that I still have a choice.
Substance Use & Abuse & Sexuality
Substance use and abuse and sexuality connect with each other as many young teens are sexually interactive by being under the influence. If you know someone is under the influence and did not give consent, a yes or no, there is not right for you to be touching that person as that person is not in the right state of mind.
Personal Connection
Personal saftey + conflict management has taught me many things such as how i can easily solve a problem by isolating myself from the situation. This unit has also taught me that human trafficking is around me without me even knowing. The highest human trafficking rate is Brampton, Missisauga and Caledon in which makes me want to be more aware of my surrounds and aware of the warning signs that I should be causious of at all times.
Personal Connection
I feel as if I sports allow me to express myself. Throughout each sport unit, I was not familiar with many sports as I did not play them as often. I made sure that I had involved myself within every sport possible which allowed me to have better communication skills and teamwork skills. With those skills It made it much easier to learn how to play those different sports.
Sports & Fit Theory
Sports and Fit theory connect with each other as many concepts from fit theory relates to sports. The resting heart relates sports as many athletes have a lower number of beats per minute compared to us, so they check that frequently to make sure they are at the resting heart rate they are suppose to be at. Also body weight training relates to sports as many athletes workout to maintain there strength, flexibility and balance in which body weight training allows you to do.
Personal connection
As an individual I feel as if I am not at the appropriate age to engage in any sort of sexual intercourse and should wait till marriage as it is against my religion to preform any sort of sexual intercourse before marriage.
Personal Connection
I feel as if I am currently living in between a healthy and non healthy lifestyle as I do not stop myself from having junk food but I do drink a lot of water per day at eat at least 2-3 fruits a day
Final Summative

Breakfast is the most important
meal of the day as it breaks the
fasting period between the time
you sleep and wake up in which
supplies you more nutrients and
freshens you with a new
supply of glucose.
Reduce Fats
In order to have a healthy
lifestyle we have to reduce
the fats in our diets. Many
small things such as
skittles can gain many
calories. I learnt that the
many little junk foods I used
to eat caused me to gain
many calories without even
noticing and now day by I
try to reduce many fats as I
can out of my diet.

Our body depends on water
to survive. our body uses

guide i learned many new
reasons behind many
common concepts such as

water a day is important.
Sports
Flag Football
The flag football unit was also a unit I
personally enjoyed. In the flag football
unit the most part I was eager about
was on how to throw the football
properly. Throughout the unit I started
to get better and better at throwing the
ball as I was taught how to position my
body and how to swing my arm when
throwing the football. I also learned
how to catch the football in which was
making both hands into the shape of a
diamond and that allowed me to catch
the ball without it falling out of my hands.
Badminton
In the badminton unit I learned many
different rules that I was not aware of
such as playing In singles in which is
by yourself and doubles which is with
a partner, or how the game ends after
getting up to a certain amount of
points (21). Badminton was more
complicated then I actually thought it
was, for instance the outlines apply
different when you are playing doubles
or singles.
Volleyball
In the volleyball unit I was personally
very excited for this unit as I really
wanted to learn more about volleyball.
Although I had already had a general
knowledge on what volleyball was
about, I did not know about all the
rules and how serve the ball correctly.
In the volleyball unit I was able to
to learn the names of the different
positions such as the right front, right
side hitter and so on.
Basketball
In basketball I learned many new
things as I do not play basketball
often. In basketball I learned in
certain postions you can gain three
points (three pointer) and in others
you can earn two. I also learned
new techniques to help me take
shots that allowed me to get the ball
in the basket. I also learned how to
position myself when I do not have
the ball in which allows my teammates
to have more options when they do not
have anyone to pass to.
Soccer
Soccer is a very familiar sport to me
but I had learned many new ways to
combine two sports together such as
soccer baseball. Soccer baseball is
overall a very fun sport. In soccer
baseball I learned how to play regular
baseball, as in I got a better perspective
of baseball helping me understand the
sport overall.

you take a person without their
consent or trick them into getting
them transported from one area
or country to another for forced
sexual interactions or labour. It is

The IDEAL Method
I : I got this
D : define the problem
E : explore strategies
A : act on strategy that is
chosen
L : look back, evaluate,
adjust
Conflict Resolution
A few of the many ways
you can solve a problem
is by collaborating, withdrawn
in which is to avoid any violence
of such sort and the one i personally
prefer is isolation in which you
just isolate yourself out of the problem.
Aware of Surroundings
It is very important to
always being aware of
your surroundings. Try
to complete tasks during
the day as many people
are outside during that
period of time, so that
if something does happen
there would be many
people for you to call help
for. If walking at night,
make sure at least one
person is with you or
you are in a place that
has more people
surrounding you.
Talk To An Adult
Talking to an adult is very
important as the adult is much
more mature to handle and
help you with the situation.

Abstinence has many benefits such as not
worry about having an STI considering the
fact you have never had sex or you do not
have to regret your decision later. Some
people cannot as it is against their religion.

Communication is a very important part
of a relationship. Communication allows
you and your partner to talk about
things you both dislike and like,
communication is key when it comes
to knowing more about your parter and
knowing the things they are ready for and
not. Communication allows you and your
partner to gain knowledge about each other
before engaging in any sort of sexual activity
such as if any one of you has an STI in which
should be checked. By communicating with
each other, it will allow you both to learn about
their previous sex life, in which then both of you
should get checked up for any sort of STI
STI preventions
It important to stay clean and use protection before any sort of sexual intercourse such as :
- condoms
- birth control
- plan b
- dental damns
Influences
There are many influences around
us in which make you do things such
as involving yourself in sexual
activities because of them when you
do not want to. There is a lot of
peer pressuring so you have to
make sure when it comes to that
you give a honest yes or no answer
to what your most comfortable with.
Consent
Consent is something that is very
important no matter how long you
and your significant other have
been together or how close you
are with them, both have to agree
upon a decision that is best and
comfortable. Without consent
it is considered to be sexual assault
in which is why it is very important
to make sure your partner says
yes or no to whatever you are
asking and respect the decision
they made until further notice.
