•My main goal as a Physical Education in the high school
level is to make them realize how important physical
activity is in life.
•I would also teach students the basic motor and
manipulative skills.
•I also believe its important to teach people of all fitness
levels to be able to create their own fitness programs.
•I will let them be active as much as possible during the
periods.
•I will give compliments and some constructive criticism
because I believe that helps them build confidence and
gain knowledge of the skill/sport.

My name is Michael Galeotafiore and I graduated from
Plainedge High School and I am currently a freshman at
Adelphi University. I am majoring in Physical Education and
I hope to become a Physical Education teacher. I love
working with kids and teaching them whether it be kids or
teenagers. I am strongly in favor of physical activity. It
definitely is healthy not only physically, but mentally as
well. I love sports and follow them closely; mainly baseball,
football and basketball.
