“INTRAMS 2012; GO RED BAYERNS!”

How important is the sports activity in a student’s life? Why? If I will be asked with the same question I’ll answer it is very important. Want to know why? Because it’s not just only for fun or for entertainment, it also tests our bodies if we are healthy or not. It lets us know how our health status affects us and lets us prepare ourselves and take good care of it. It also teaches us good manners to others and honesty as well.

I was a grade 5 student when I started joining the sports fest.  Before it was called district meet but now that I’m in high school –it is called Intrams. at first, I thought of backing out because I’m afraid that I lose this game, they might be angry. But still I joined and was trained by my soon to be adviser at that time. I joined badminton. I find it so fun and I can easily learn the basic techniques there so I take the game seriously until I won the first place and went to other places here in Cavite to represent the District of Maragondon. More and more experiences had come and for me, I’ll just play without assuming for anything – win or lose its okay. I just want to have more experiences and I just want to test my skills and its helpful effects to my body especially in my arms and legs.

This sport makes me feel that I’m better than I was before. That among other people, I have a special sport that I must be proud of because it’s not just a simple sport for me, it is a very important sport that taught me the importance of being fit and having a daily exercise and proper care to it. It makes me stronger and makes my arms and feet more functional. Before I’m just using my feet for walking but now, there is another job that is more useful that walking that not just entertains me but also makes it stronger and faster. From weak arms, I already have a stronger one. Before, I can’t even smash but through more practice I can now do different styles in playing badminton that I can’t do before. All in all, playing sports is vey important, it is not just for fun and entertainment, it teaches how to respect others, to make us responsible, makes our patience longer and most specially – making us more stronger and fitter.
