Hi all,here is my first post for the eng assignment.Hope you like it!
OBSTACLES
Some people regard them as friends,while others look upon the as enemies.Depending on your character,you either like them or hate them.Nevertheless,they are part and parcel of our lives and they never seem to escape from our sight for even a split second.Some people work hard and have succeeded in overcoming them while some have failed.To me,life is very much meaningless without them because they help us 'grow' physically and mentally.Having heard what I have said,you may have guessed what 'they' refer to...and the answer is none other than OBSTACLES!
I still remember vividly when I first joined floorball(my CCA).I was new to floorball(I did not even know that the sport existed until I joined it)and probably did not know more than half of the rules of the game.It was just one month after tranings started when the coach recruited me into the school-team!!I was filled with excitement yet I had my fears.It was the first time representing the school but I was worried that I could not cope with the standard of the team.The fact that the team were champions last year made things worse.The tournament was just one month away and we had to trained on Saturdays.I always felt butterflies in my stomach whenever it came to trainings.I was very pressurized as everyone I faced was highly-skilled.During training,most of my passes went astray and I could not even control the ball properly.I had a feeling that I was despised and was demoralised.
However,the coach's encouragement kept me going.I told myself I could not disappoint him.I wanted to prove to everyone that the coach's decision to put me in the the school team was right.I was determined to make the team believe in my abilities.Thus,I trained myself when I had the time.Soon,I felt that I had improved in my play.Even the team praised me for my efforts.At that moment,I knew I had done it.I had overcomed the odds and also my fears.I had succeeded in winning the team's trust.Later, I even went on to score two goals in the tournament.What an experience for me!
