I would like to talk about an important thing that my family had skipped for a long time. It’s a bronze medal that my high school gave to my class when we won the football championship. I got it at the beginning of grade 12 when I was going to organize a football tournament and I’ve kept it ever since. Even though it’s not made of real bronze, it’s just a simple fake one. It holds a lot of memory for me. It reminds me of the good old days when I played football with my classmates. The laughter we shared and even the regret of not winning first places. Time is a past but I still love the middle. Sometimes I take it out, clear it carefully and hang it in my room. For me, the middle is not just a small piece of metal. It’s a symbol of friendship, junk and all those unforgettable moments of my high school life. That’s why it’s so meaningful to me and my family.

I would like to talk about an important thing that my family has kept for a long time. It's a bronze medal that my high school gave to my class when we won the football championship. I got it at the beginning of grade 12 when I was going to organize a football tournament, and I've kept it ever since. Even though it's not made of real bronze, it's just a simple fake one. It holds a lot of memories for me. It reminds me of the good old days when I played football with my classmates, the laughter we shared, and even the regret of not winning first place. Time has passed, but I still love the medal. Sometimes I take it out, clean it carefully, and hang it in my room. For me, the medal is not just a small piece of metal; it's a symbol of friendship, joy, and all those unforgettable moments of my high school life. That's why it's so meaningful to me and my family.
