Last Friday was my school's sports day event. I was anticipating for the day to come. There are two types of games- baton race and hockey race. Since I could not complete the baton race, my teacher asked me to go to the hockey team. In that team,the event was just as difficult as baton. But to me it was a piece of cake.

On that day, we had 30 minutes of recess. We used to have 20 minutes of recess but they extended the recess due to the P2s' race. I saw my mother and sister turned up during recess, they were there to cheer for me. Soon it was the P3's turn. The baton race started first. My friend and I were cheering for my class to win. My class got the 4th position. Misery was written all over their face. I felt sorry for them because they had been training very hard.

Minutes later, it was our team's turn to go, we wished each other good luck and set off for the game.We waited quite some time before the game started. "Preet!!" the game started in no time. Ling Yun was the first to go. We screamed our heart out. Miss Tan, our form teacher was very excited and she was running next to the participant giving words of encouragement. As my turn was drawing near, I was nervous and fidgety. You see, I don't usually do well in sports and running is my achilles' heel. However, I managed to finish the course.

Finally the game ended. I heaved a sigh of relief. We were in cloud nine when the Mcee announced that our team is the first to finish the game. We were each awarded a gold medal. I hope this is not my first and last medal. I want to thank Miss Tan for all the effort she put in.
