Athletics day

     Yesterday was the sports day; it was fun and exciting but also very tiring. A little bit about me is that I am not a big fan of sports, so I wasn't looking forward to the athletics day. However, the day was much more fun than I anticipated. I am thrilled that I attended as I got to experience cheering with the crowd, reconnecting with my culture, and I got to experience something new.

    During the last hour of the day, there was a relay game between the different houses. It was a lot of fun to watch and to join the cheering of my fellow housemates for our house. Being part of a cheering crowd is fun no matter what. Even though we did not win that many rounds, I am still happy that I got to be part of something.

    Around lunchtime when we had free time, my fellow Filipino friends and I played a bit. We played our local sports or a local outdoor game called "Bingo". I used to play that game when I was a kid and it was nostalgic to play the game again. I am grateful that I had the chance to reconnect with my culture again even though it's just for a little while.

    As I said above, I am not a big fan of sports so I don't normally play it on an everyday basis. Athletics day introduced me to sports and it was much more fun than I expected. I got to have physical activities in a fun way and in a way in which I don't feel tired at the moment. Though when I got home and got to rest, Immediately fell asleep and woke up the next day. I slept for 13 hours around 4pm-5am the next day.

    Overall, I was not looking forward to athletics day before, but when I got to experience it, it was a lot of fun and exciting. I got to have a break from academics and got to experience something new. I might look into some sports now such as basketball as the sports experience was a unique pleasure. I am thankful that I attended the athletics day.
