Sport
Ah...I feel like taking about my sport- Swimming. I love it! It's a great sport! I mean... you get a lot of things in swimming. Of course that depends on what you want to get. Some people do it to exercise their body and lungs. Others want to cool down but still lose carbs. While some others, want it for the competition. Almost everyday of every school week, I train the our school pool. Before I swim I always tell myself, "Yes! Finally swimming!" but when it starts it's ironic that I ask my coach to shorten the work out. Anyway, when I just started doing the training I was a real wreck! I didn't even know how to do all the strokes properly. A first I'm really disappointed at myself for being so bad at this sport when my pool mates are all fast. But that never stopped me. I trained and trained. I want to be better than the others in the pool. I want to show myself... for once I won something big.
When I look back at this... I realized something. When you engage seriously into sports... it'll oddly become similar to life. I mean you "train" to become the best. You do things that you don't like, you don't rest even when you're tired the only thing driving you is you're belief and your passion, your determination to be the best. When you think you can do it you "chose" to tournament or contest. You test yourself "how far have I gone?". If you win you have improved. If you lose you are yet to grow better but don't thing bring you down. Everybody faces loses, I mean a winner now was a loser before. Learn your mistakes, learn from your enemies, Search for the reason why you lost. Then you go back to square one... "Train" You "train" to grow and "chose" to prove.
