I like to talk about the competition during my university study. This was a super competition between my business program and engineering program. It was held on a pre-brown in my university. And remember it was held in November in my sophomore year. I was the captain of our business program and I was a center back. The game was tough. It was like a roller coaster. I remember that we went down early on, but instead of panicking, I scored the equalizer. And at last, in the diamond age, my teammate scored the win goal. After the game, everybody was… every member in our team was over the moon. and we celebrated for a few days. What I took away from this experience is twofold. Firstly, I know that beauty works always trumps the individual talent. None of us could win the event game solo. Another I learned is that pressure is like double edge sword. Learning to harness it is priceless. The pressure can paralyze you and it can also sharpen your focus.

I like to talk about the competition during my university studies. This was a super competition between my business program and the engineering program. It was held on a playground at my university, and I remember it was in November during my sophomore year. I was the captain of our business program and I played center back. The game was tough; it was like a roller coaster. I remember that we went down early on, but instead of panicking, I scored the equalizer. In the dying moments, my teammate scored the winning goal. After the game, every member of our team was over the moon, and we celebrated for a few days. What I took away from this experience is twofold. Firstly, I learned that teamwork always trumps individual talent. None of us could win the game solo. Another lesson I learned is that pressure is like a double-edged sword. Learning to harness it is priceless. Pressure can paralyze you, but it can also sharpen your focus.
