Hi, Im new to this site, but i just really need some advice.
Its my first year in highschool, and I am beyond nervous. I suck at all sports, and next semester I have gym first period. What do we learn in gym in grade 9? Im so scared since I cant hit a volleyball over the net or do a cartwheel and can barely do pushups..
Also, i will be all sweaty, and my hair takes an hour to dry, so what will I do every morning?

We also did weight lifting and played a few sports which included basketball, handball, vollyball.
I'm sure no one is gonna judge you based on the gym class. I myself suck at sports. I hardly ever did anything in gym class except running and a few exercises. Don't worry about it, just try it and have fun.
Also i'm sure you won't get so sweaty that your hair will be soaking wet. Just put your hair up in a high ponytail or a messy bun. Or you can just clip it up.
