J.F Kennedy Video Reflection

In the video president Kennedy said that he wanted all Americans to be physically active so they can stay healthy and be able to gain greatness for the country. He spoke about wanting students from all school districts in the country to be physically active because he doesn't want a bunch of spectators, he wants everyone to be out in the field. I will not have any drugs and won't give in to anything that would be bad for my health. I will continue to participate in my physical education class to be able to be healthy.

Student Success Statement

"Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what Greek knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong."                                                   - President John F. Kennedy

I believe this quote means that you have to be a healthy and strong to be able to achieve greatness. For example if you start  making your body dependent on drugs then you might never accomplish the goals you had set your mind to. You need to be able to be strong to be able to overcome obstacles put in your way. If you are weak then you'll give up easily when obstacles are put in your way. If you're sick you really can't learn and do things.
