Taking part in Sports week

During my school days I always wanted the summer break to be eternal, whereas I used to wait for the winter breaks to get over. Because it was a gala time for all of us as it was the time for sports week. I always used to look forward for this particular week. Being an active athlete, I used to take part in all the sports that were played except for cricket and basketball, which obviously were guys’ sport. But even though I never used to take part in it, I used to be an active member of the crowd who used to cheer for my class.

I used to take part in all the athletic events including long jumps and high jumps. And the motivating factor for me take part in the sports week was because, I used to enter the event as the defending athlete (Women’s) and had to put my title on the line. I won it for four consecutive times till standard eight, and after that I could not participate when I was in standard nine because of fractured elbow. But to tell you all, I entered the week in final year of my school, i:e 10 and reclaimed what rightfully belonged to me.

Well, this is one thing which makes me feel very proud about and how I wish that if I could do that all over again. Well it was not a great achievement but definitely a memorable one.
