Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Maxwell S.!  Max is in Middle school health and has learned a lot about nutrition and mental health. He’s become much more conscious of the food he eats and is more aware of how to help and act around those that are suffering from mental health issues.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

What I like best about the Carone learning course, it that I can do my school work in between other activities during summer vacation. I feel that the lessons really make me think about how the topics effect me and my life.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?

I am learning a lot about mental health and nutrition. The course has taught me much more about these subjects, and how to deal with people suffering from mental health issues. As far as nutrition, I have learned more about the food choices that I make and how to read labels on the food that my family buys.

How has your Carone Learning course helped you improve your level of health or fitness?

I feel that I am more aware of my physical and emotional wellness because of the lessons that I have learned so far. I have learned that I need to be more active and think about the food choices that I make throughout the week.

How has your cFitness Academy instructor helped you with your course or your goals?

Ms. Wheelwright has been really nice to work with. She always lets me know how I am doing and is always letting me know that she is available if I need help. This is my first online course and it has been a great experience so far.

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?

I signed up for this course because I have a full year of band and language this year. I was not able to fit in my health class requirement, so I signed up for this class on summer break. I find the course beneficial because I can do it in the morning when I have time to sit down and focus on the material.

Please share any other comments you have about cFitness Academy or your Carone Learning course.

This online course is very flexible and I feel that I have learned a lot of good material that will help me think about things differently as I get older. I definitely think that the lessons that I have done have made me learn the material much better, and think about how it relates to me and my personal wellness. I actually am enjoying the course..

Here’s what Maxwell’s teacher had to say about him: 

“Max is very thoughtful in his discussion responses and turns in amazingly well done assignments. He also has some really fun hobbies that I’ve enjoyed learning about through him, like sailing.”

In Maxwell’s health class there is a unit on communication. Maxwell did an amazing job on coming up with ‘I’ statements which help share feelings without sounding like you are blaming the other person. Here’s an example from his work:

You Statement: Stop teasing me!  You are so mean!

“I” Statement: I feel angry when you tease me, because it is not always funny to me.

This is a ‘You’ and ‘I’ statement that Maxwell came up with all on his own – you can really hear the difference in how the statements sound.

 

“You” Statement: How could you forget my birthday, I hate you .

  “I” Statement: I feel sad when you forgot my birthday because I feel that you don’t care   about me .

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Maxwell is pretty great and we’re proud to have him in class! Thanks, Maxwell!

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Kayla F.!  Kayla was recently in Fitness Fundamentals 2 – she feels she was able to improve her health by being realistic in her goals, she was glad that she was able to learn good goal setting practices and have the flexibility to make the goals she specifically wanted to work on with her fitness.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

The thing that I like most about my Carone Learning course is being able to move through lessons at my own pace.

What have you learned in your Carone Learning course that will most help you in your life?

I have learned that when you are setting a goal you don’t just stop there. You have to have objectives and action plans as well in order to help you reach your goal. From now on when I have a goal in life whether it relates to fitness, health, school, etc. I will always create objectives and an action plan to help me reach that goal.

My Carone Learning course has helped me improve my level of health and fitness because I now have realistic goals and a plan to reach them. I also have a set workout routine that I try my best to stick to.

My cFitness Academy instructor keeps me updated on how I am doing in the course every week, which helps keep me on pace. She also made it clear that if any of us have any questions or need help with anything we can call or email her and she will help us.

Why did you sign up for a course through cFitness Academy, and how has taking this course online been beneficial?

This course was one of my options recommended for me by my school. Taking this course over the summer helps me to free up my extremely busy school schedule next year.

 

Here’s what Kayla’s teacher had to say about her: 

“Kayla is very genuine and thoughtful in her work. She does a great job of working hard to do well in class and her discussion posts are always well thought out.”

In Kayla’s Fitness Fundamental’s 2 class there she is able to reflect honestly on her fitness strengths and weaknesses. Being honest is strengths and weaknesses is a great way to move forward with health goals. 

Strongest and Weakest Areas: “I feel that my strongest areas of fitness are my flexibility and my core strength. I think my weakest area of fitness is my upper body strength. I usually focus on building leg muscle and doing cardio because it is easier for me since those are also two of my stronger areas of strength. To improve my upper body strength I can include more lifting and different exercises that work my upper body in my workout routines. I also need to challenge myself by lifting more in order to improve my upper body strength.”

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Kayla is pretty great and we’re proud to have her in class! Thanks, Kayla!

“Joe has over some so much in the time he’s been in this course. Between serious health issues and learning difficulties, Joe has proven he has tenacity!”

In Joe’s Family and Consumer Science class there is a unit on decision making. Joe has had to make some really hard decisions, because of his health, for such someone so young.

Responses to questions about making difficult decisions:

1. What was the difficult decision you had to make? What made it difficult?

I decided to cancel going on a trip to Los Angeles with my school. I wasn’t feeling good and I knew the trip would be too hard for me. I wanted to go on the trip, but I didn’t feel that good.

2. Describe the process you used to make this decision.

My stomach doesn’t feel that good, so I had to cancel. I knew that the group would be doing a lot of walking and I knew that I would be too tired. My parents took out travel insurance so we wouldn’t lose the money that we paid for the trip. If I stay home, I can keep doing my IV feeds that help me feel better. We did IV feeds when we went to Florida for Christmas and it was hard to get the medicine delivered and set up the pump, so I knew it would be really hard to do in a hotel in LA.

Just as all of our students are unique, we think Joe is pretty great and we’re proud to have him in class! Thanks, Joe!
