Organizing sports day_3

Day 3

 Today was the last of the annual sports day and I was really excited.  It was the last day to see the children participate with more enthusiasm. Although I was tired already because of working in the sun for the past two day, I didn’t lose the hope and still worked. Today they were more athletic events, mostly running races. I use to love athletics when I was small. I could understand how these kids are fascinated by it and how they want to win. After which there was this interesting event which was the jalebi race. Jalebi is sweet which is very famous in India. In the race the children had to eat the jalebi without using their hands. I and my friend Shradha and some teachers supervised the children. It was really great to see the children mouth getting watery and how they just want to quickly eat it by using their hands. I myself for a moment felt like picking up one jalebi and eating it.

After the primary sports event was over, I had to participate in the higher or secondary annual sports event. I didn’t have much energy left thus I didn’t participate. I didn’t lose hope and made myself understand that I will participate next year and set my goals and achieve it. It was really great experience for me. I realized that how sports is an important part of these children. These children need some break from their studies and need to relax and sports is the thing which relaxes the mind. This activity changed my perspective of sports. I realized that sports is important for our body and mind. And if any difficult task comes in my life, I would see that difficulty like a sport and play it well. I really never knew if I could organize this event with the help of my friends and complete it also. I learned not to lose hope and I gained more confidence when it comes to organization.  The very important thing which I learned from this activity was how important it is to work collaboratively and not lose hope. It also taught me that when you are in a team, communication with the team mates is necessary.

Till then stay happy!
