Why Physical Education Is An Important Subject
William Simon, Jr. said that physical education is the only subject that promotes physical and
emotional health. It also helps children to learn better and cultivates the character that they need to be
a productive adult. He believes that P.E should be a core subject just like Math, English, Science and
History. For him, physical education subject should not be treated as the least important subject
because health and fitness are vital and that student’s life depends on it. With proper exercise children
can do better in their academic subjects.
Physical education plays a big role in our lives. This subject is a big help to reduce the development
of obesity and chronic diseases, reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, build healthy bones and
muscles and also cause improvement of students’ academic performance. It is very important that
schools have sports or physical education as a regular part of their curriculum. This helps us not only to
become physically fit but for us to perform better in the academic field by being physically active.
This subject provides lots of health benefit to us and also brings positivity in our daily lives. It can
also enhance our confidence to participate in school and community activities. We can gain more
knowledge and power to do certain things that could help us to improve our hidden talents. We must
consider this subject to improve our overall quality of life.
2. In your own perspective, how can physical education help you personally and eventually in
your future career?
Physical education has always been a great help for me since elementary. I learned how to get along
with my classmates and play different games with them. I learned how to maintain my weight even
though I eat a lot by doing some exercise. It also gives me confidence to face other people despite of me
being shy.
I believe that this subject will always be a big help for me not only physically but also mentally. To
achieve my desires in life physical education will serve as one of the guides in becoming successful.
Being physically healthy is the main goal of physical education. If I am physically healthy then I can easily
pass the medical exam for my desire job.
I know that in the near future the learnings I got from this subject could enable me to do what is
needed of me. Having a sound mind and a healthy body could help in achieving my dreams. This can also
boost my confidence to show others what I’m capable of doing. Being physically unhealthy will never be
a hindrance in achieving my goals.
3. What significant learning did you get after watching the presentation of Mr. William Simon J.?
I have learned that physical education should not be overlooked at. People do not see it as an
important subject just like Math, English and other core subjects but we should change that mindset.
This video has thought me that being just good in English doesn’t mean you can lift 25 kilos of rice. We
have to be physically fit for us to become productive.
I do agree to what he have said that with proper exercise children can do better in their academic
subjects. Because I believe that a healthy mind needs a healthy body. Being dedicated to change your
self into a better person also have a positive impact to your body. In physical education subject we will
learn how to improve ourselves physically, mentally and socially.
The things we could do is limited if we are not physically healthy. Through physical education we
could help our body in performing tasks that could help it become more vigorous and fit. Being an
unhealthy person would not only be a burden to ourselves but also to our family members and that is
why we must aim to become physically fit.
