Sports Day

This thursday, the 15th of September ,was the summer(or actually autumn,because its already getting cold) Sports Day.

Fortunately,the weather wasn't as i have expected it to be. It was sunny and warmer than the previous days. Well,it was a bit windy ,but thanks to all the body heating games,i didn't

feel so cold.

On the previous day we were grouped in 4 houses. I was in Chekhov. 

When i was  writing my name in most of the lists with the teams ,i did not expect that i would have to play in each of them. I thought i was going to be a reserve or something like that. But on the next day,when all of the boys told me that in each team there has to be participating at least one girl (and in our team we were only two playing) i realized that i do not have a choice,but to play in all of them.

Usually I am not a sports person. In the past,i used to play some sports and i was more active ,but i also  had more time.But nowadays, I am a bit lazy ,i try to study more, instead of doing sports,and during the past two weeks i had medical problems, so ,honestly ,i wasn't exactly  yearning for the sports day to come.

On thursday when  they  told us the program ,beginning with dodge-ball ,my first thought was -oh my ,now i'll hit somebody accidentally ,or i'll break my arm or something else. But in fact,i was surpirsed ,because the game was totally new to me,and i was actually enjoying not only it ,but all of the other games too.

Maybe the  hardest one was the running,because in the end,i  didn't have any  power  left and i felt that i was so slow. The game which i liked the most (and usually i like ) was basketball. I may not play correctly and i'm not that tall,but i really like it .

Most of the games required patience,correct strategy and work in a team. And those are the things i learned this day. I developed new skills,i worked collaboratively with others,i undertook new challenges and i've increased  awareness of my own strenghts and areas for growth.

And although on the next day i woke up with the worse stiffness i've ever had ,i was happy and pleased,because i've remembered how great it is to do sports and to use up my energy by moving ,not just sitting infront of the computer,and now i'm going to start again with practicing sports. So thanks to the sports day i remembered a feeling i was starting to forget.:)
