Hello, I'm going into grade 12 this year and my future career interest is - of course - being a police officer. I only took gym in grade 9 because it was a mandatory class, I don't actually have much interest in the class itself and haven't took it at all since. Now with fitness I can keep myself "in shape" at home. I bike 5-10 minutes hard 4 times per day to school and back which may not be much.. Also if I don't get a job offer when school starts or before, then i'll be biking 20 minutes to co-op at the police station, and 20 minutes back. I also workout at home sometimes, and have the opportunity to get a gym membership. Alright well that was just some background; on to the main question. As I said I took Physical education back in grade 9 and not since, and people are telling me I should consider taking it in grade 12 if I want to become a police officer, because on paper if it shows I haven't taken gym at all since grade 9 they may skip over me and just think i'm possibly at home eating some fatty food as they read my application. I would prefer not to take gym, but if it will really help me out in the process of being a police officer then of course i'll have to re-do my classes at the beginning of the year in order to fit gym in.
So with all of that said, what do you think? I'm going to college in just over a year for law and security, I'm signed up for co-op at the city police station for grade 12, and I'm not really worried about failing the PREP or any of that if I don't take gym. I'm not fat at all.. but it's mainly about what they think about it on paper and me hopefully getting a call for an interview when the time comes. Is P.E necessary as a highschool course in grade 12. Thanks
