For me, fitness represents a way to escape from the stress of life. Exercise is quintessential to my health. For example, if I were to go just a couple days without participating in some type of physical activity, I become super ancy. This constant feeling of needing to do something productive has a had real positive influence in my life. I personally view it as a trait that is beneficial, because the desire to work out has led me to have an overall healthy life. The constant feeling of needing to do something productive has translated into English 1102. When I hit a setback in fitness, I always push myself to get past it. The same can be said for English 1102. Although the road might have been bumpy at times, I have never let the challenges get the best of me. Fitness always demands the best from me, and again the same thing can be said about English 1102. That is the main reason I chose my theme for my portfolio is a "Heroic Conquest of English 1102". By giving as much as I can into everything I do, I give myself the chance to succeed. Throughout English 1102, I have picked up new skills and knowledge that has officially allowed me to conquer English 1102.
