Getting to Know You

  



  1. Preferred name: Kenna
  2. Major: Kinesiology (Health Professions Concentration)
  3. Year (i.e., Junior, Senior): Junior
  4. Graduation date: 2022
  5. What are your career goals or plans when you graduate?: When I first got into this major, my only thought for career was to become a physical therapist. After learning a couple of years in this major I can now say that I do not want to become a physical therapist. However, I do not know what I want to pursue anymore.
  6. Which one of the following best describes you as a student?
    • I’m working hard to make an A in every course I take.
    • I work hard and do the best I can – A’s and B’s are great for me.
    • I have a lot of other things going on in my life (e.g., sports, work, family, friends, stressful things) – I don’t have to make A’s and B’s in every course.
  7. Are you currently working?: Yes, but in mid-February I will be moving on campus to begin practice and will have to stop working.
  8. Are you in athletics or other activities (choir, club, etc.)? How active are you in this activity this semester?: I am on the acrobatics and tumbling team. As of right now (mid-January) we can not do anything with the school, so all of our workouts/practices are voluntary and self-monitored. However, we have been given a competition schedule beginning in March, and we were told that we will begin official practices in mid-February.
  9. Please share one or two important/interesting things about yourself.
    1. I have a hard time with school. I consistently catch myself zoning out or getting easily distracted during lectures, and I have had the bad habit of procrastinating since high school. 
    2. Another set-back for me school-wise is that I have a hard time reaching out for help (from teachers and classmates)
  10. Give Professor Quiros some advice (e.g., How can he best help you this semester? What makes a good professor? How can this class be most helpful/enjoyable for you?)
    1. This class would be the most helpful if there were a brief break sometime in the middle, or anything to cut the flow of a full hour and a half long lecture (ex. break out groups). This allows me to have a time to refocus myself.
  11. How would you like Professor Quiros to pray for you this semester?
    1. I am not sure right now, but I will edit this question when I can think of something better to put.

Life Fitness Journal #3

  Life Fitness Journal #3 During the semester, in what ways did your physical health and fitness change for the better? What areas didn’t change in the way you had hoped or planned? During this semester my physical health changed in terms of consistency. Last semester we were not allowed to practice with our team and we only allowed to practice on our own. Since my sport is acro and tumbling, I was not able to just practice wherever and whenever. I had a difficult time trying to get into a facility that allowed me to tumble. Midway through this semester we were able to come back on to campus and begin practicing. So I was then able to practice five times a week. The area that did not change though was anything outside of practice as well as aerobic fitness. I wanted to try and continue running, but was not able to keep up the consistency of that.  During the semester, in what ways did your spiritual health and fitness change for the better? What areas didn’...

Life Fitness Journal #2

  Life Fitness Journal #2   1. What successes have you had with your physical health and fitness goals so far? What challenges or barriers have you faced?            I have had some changes in my living situation which has caused some challenges in my fitness goal. I am currently not at my house anymore. I have been able to move into an on-campus apartment so that I can attend practice. For the first couple weeks after creating the fitness goal of increasing aerobic fitness in terms of mile time, I was able to do cardio exercises at home on the treadmill 2-4 times a week. I was able to drop my one and a half mile time by a lot. To attain my goal of getting into the "good" aerobic fitness category, I would have needed to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes and 25 seconds. The first time I ran it for the lab, I got 13 minutes and 58 seconds. The last time I recorded a time for this test I brought it down a ful...
