What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

Overall, my favorite thing about my Carone Learning course is the way that each unit is structured.  There are lessons, discussion posts, reflections, and creative assignments.  Each of these aspects fully prepares me for the quizzes and tests.  Also, I love how I am engaged in each of these activities, and I find myself looking forward to each new unit.

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

Currently, I am taking the Nutrition course, and I am amazed by how much I am learning about the affect our nutrition can have on our bodies.  One’s diet arguably has the most impact on one’s health, and it is very important that I learn good nutritional skills at my current age.

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

My Carone course has taught me lots of important information about food groups, vitamins, minerals, exercise and more.  With the knowledge I have gained, I feel like I can create more nutritious meals and maximize the benefits of my food.

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

I signed up for a course through cFitness Academy because my school did not offer that many good choices for PE credits, and they weren’t flexible with my schedule either.  By taking the class online, I can focus on it when I have the time to dedicate to it.

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

So far I have been very pleased with my Carone course because of the wonderful instructing, creative lessons/assignments, and the ease of the program.  I would recommend to take a Carone Learning course to anyone!

She has made the course an authentic experience by applying what she is learning into her weekly activities. For example, she has worked on being active, substituting empty calories with nutrient-rich foods, and diversifying what she eats.”

 

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

I like the fact I can work at my pace so to speak. As long as your ahead you can do as much as you can and with my schedule right now it helps out a lot.

I have learned how to deal with a lot of situations I have never personally faced before. Reading some of the situations and responses has helped me see how I should deal with the situation if it ever comes up.

It has helped me realizes a lot of things that can be very harmful to you. It makes me see that there are changes I need to make to my everyday life and activity to make myself a healthier person.

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

She has been very helpful. She was patient with me when I was unable to get stated, when I had questions, and when I was behind she gave me the time to get it caught up.

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

I didn’t sign up for this class. I started this year on home bound due to a car accident and I was put into this class. Although I was worried about the class it has been very educational and taught me many things about my health and the health of others.

 

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

“She works hard to do high quality work and stay ahead of the pacing guide, even when she was very behind early on. Her Reflection Journal entries are particularly interesting and inspirational. Shaylee has also been great at communicating with me throughout the semester letting me know if she’s struggling or has questions, which is helpful to me as an instructor, especially an online one.”

In Shaylee’s Drugs and Alcohol course there is a lesson on refusal skills to help students know when to say, “No!” as well as practice saying, “No!” Here is Shaylee’s reflection and experiences using refusal skills.   

4.1 Reflection: Learning refusal skills is very important so you can feel confident when refusing drugs or alcohol when offered. Although you may not have had to refuse these things, what are other situations you have had to use refusal skills to make a better choice. (i.e. invitation to a party, skipping school, etc.) Explain your experience.

Response: I had a friend of mine ask me to smoke pot. Another one asked me to skip school and go drinking with a bunch of my friends. I told them both no, I wasn’t going to do it. One of them actually laughed and called me chicken. It really bothered me but instead of letting them see that it was making me mad, I just decided to laugh at him and tell him he was the one that was being stupid. Going out drinking and driving was one of the dumbest things he could do. After we both tried to make the other feel guilty, I walked away. A few minutes later he found me and said the he thought about what I had said and decided he would stay with me. I felt good to know that I kept a friend from going out and doing something extremely stupid.

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

In Jordan’s Life Skills health class she has been exploring her own identity– Jordan talks about her family heritage and what traditions her family has. 

Step I: Identify Your Family Heritage In one complete paragraph, tell about your family heritage. What is your ethnic or cultural background? What traditions does your family have? What things are most important to your family?

The most famous saying in my family is “treat others how you would want to be treated”. We value simple things such as kindness. We believe in being good people who genuinely care about others and their hardships. We believe in being God’s people and doing the right thing. We have the normal traditions such as being with family on special holidays such as Christmas. We open the gifts Christmas Eve and simply enjoy each other’s presence Christmas day. We try our best to attend church every Sunday. We also have some unique traditions such as eating ribs for Thanksgiving instead of the typical turkey. I believe my family originally came from Whales. I am not quite sure, but I know the majority of my family is Christian or Catholic.

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

Let us introduce you to our student of the week, Hayley L.!

Hayley has recently finished her nurition course, she was able to implement some great changes throughout her time in the course. Below is her experience with the course and her changes.

What do you like most about your Carone Learning course?

What I liked most about my Carone Learning course was how I could relate the things I was learning to real life situations and, in some cases, my own life.

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

What I learned that will most help me in my life is the role that nutrition plays in my life. Learning this has influenced my choice in food and has helped me improve how I eat.

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

The nutrition course I took has helped me improve my level of health because it has helped me improve my eating habits. I’ve eaten so much better since learned how to plan my meals and choose healthy foods.

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

My instructor has helped me with my course goals by being there to help any time that I needed it and by giving feedback on everything I did.

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

I signed up for a course through cFitness Academy because I thought it would be the best option to learn more about health and fitness. Taking the course online has been beneficial because I could work on it whenever and I could work at my own pace.

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

cFitness has allowed me to work through health at a pace that fits my schedule. I am being more challenged and learning some great self studying skills because of online health.

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

“Demonstrated a solid understanding of content (97% on Final). Also, showed a desire to apply the new information into her real life.”

In Hayley’s nutrition class she has been implementing what she’s learned about nutrition into her daily diet, she wrote about her experience. 

REFLECTION DIARY: November 19, 2016 My grandma and I have been doing really well with our meal planning. The things I’ve learned from this class has helped a lot with that. I feel so much better with myself. I’m eating more, so I’m not hungry as much. But the things I’ve been eating are healthy, so not only have I been feeling more full, I have been feeling more energized. The things I have to do at work make me more active. I have to walk around a lot; I am on my feet the entire time I’m there. I also have to lift various things and sometimes move shelves. The things I have to do aren’t much, but they’re more physically active things than the things I would do normally. When I first started, I would get so tired with almost all of my tasks. Not only was I tired because I was working after school, but I was tired because I wasn’t that used to having to move around so much. Now the only reason I get tired is because I’m working after school. I’m pretty much used to the physical aspects of my job now, and that makes me feel pretty happy.

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