Bowling Experience

Once a Bowler

Since grade school, students are enrolled into various physical education classes that enable them to be physically fit and active in school. It has been said that physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain and may boost the growth of nerve cells in the brain’s center learning and memory. That is why P.E. classes are very essential for every student.

I am very excited knowing that our P.E. class is bowling that is why I pushed myself to wake up 6 o’clock in the morning to go to the bowling center where our class starts as 8 a.m. Every Friday morning in the bowling center is such an exciting and good activity to start the day right. Just imagine the smiles it gives to us every time we hit the pins especially when we got a strike.

They are not just ordinary coaches, they’re extraordinary because they really teach us individually as in per lane, they go to students to teach the basics. They even let us have our shadow bowling practice that even though there are no pins to strike, we will be able to practice our rolling...
