My Passion

 

SWIMMING 

Since I was child I had a dream to become a professional swimmer. But my family aren't interested with this issue like going to pool and swim. Although I didn't learn swimming but it stayed my secret hobby. When I was 22 years old I had a dream that I'm taking swimming courses, and suddenly I woke up and I contacted with my friend that gives swimming sessions. And finally I registered and started my swimming sessions. I had no idea about swimming and it was never easy. I suffered a lot and I thought I couldn't do this even I was about giving up. But my friend always encouraged me to continue swimming, also she started to swim with me other than my sessions, when I saw how she was swimming with passion in her eyes, I decided to be committed in swimming like her. She was the reason I made my wish come true (the girl in the picture is my friend).

Types of swimming

  4 important types of swimming are:

1- free style : The front crawl is likely the first swimming stroke you think of when you picture swimming. It is commonly called the freestyle stroke as most swimmers choose to use this stroke in freestyle events as it is the fastest.

2- backstroke :Your face will remain out of the water, but you will still want to be cognizant of your breathing rhythm. Again, match your breaths to your strokes.

 

3- breaststroke: The breaststroke is the slowest competitive swimming stroke, and it is the most commonly learned stroke. It’s often taught to beginner swimmers because it does not require putting your head underwater.

4- butterfly: Your legs will perform a dolphin kick, which requires your legs to stay together and straight as you kick them similarly to how a dolphin’s lower body and tail moves. Move your body in a fluid wave-like motion. The best time to take a breath will be when your arms are just starting to come out of the water, just before you begin the next forward thrust. Lift your head straight in front of you during this move and do not turn your head to the side.

Importance of winning

  When we start something in our life, we should put a target and win. Yes! we have to go till the end. We will face difficulties in our lives but we should never give up. Sports are a very important part of our life. It is in fact the most technical part in giving us our identity. Winning in competition and specially in sports competition is important because, it reduces the stress level, our bodies become healthier, open the mind of students,  gain muscle, regulates sleeping time, balance diet and it is challenging. Seeing your loved ones winning encourages you to try too and win. I will share a picture of my friend when she won during international swimming competition last year.

Adding Swimming programs in schools

 One day if I become a teacher I want to add a swimming program in school, of course if there is possibility in that school. Education is very important but sports are important too and having 1 period of sport in 1 week is not enough. Students need to know the importance of sports and experience unique sports like swimming, according to their age level. Students need to learn swimming from their young age because it gives them water confidence, relaxing,  makes their body and mind healthier, endurance and fitness and others. Also swimming is not heavy exercises and doesn't harm their bodies. 

Educational Media and Technology

 EDUC561

This semester I took a course that is very interesting and I just can't wait the session to start. 

When I registered this course first I was very upset, because previously I had a bad experience in another course of technology and it was very hard plus this time is online. After some sessions I fall in love with this course and I benefited a lot, not only in education but in real life. Of course the instructor plays very important role that makes the students love the course. The course was very entertaining and interesting. I'm very satisfied with this course.

Other Hobbies

 Beside swimming, I also have other hobbies like cooking, doing exercises, reading books and doing face makeup. Cooking is very important, it makes us feel the tasty taste specially when we do it with love. Now I'm not professional in cooking but soon I will take special courses for cooking and will study it with the correct way. I also do some exercises at home and I have some equipment that I can use it. And I love reading books and feel like I'm living that story in that moment, and benefit new vocabularies. I also love to doing make up and have my own style in a professional way.
