Okay, today I want to talk about a competition that I attended at my school last month. It is a running competition. I have to say that this is a significant event in my life because the prize for the winner is really high, approximately 10 million dollars in the country. Well, I have to say that to prepare for this competition, I had to change my diet and my habits because I am a sedentary person who is not really interested in sports. So, I had to change my diet to include a lot of vegetables and fruits instead of fast food and soft drinks. Moreover, I had to learn many skills that are really useful for my competition. These include determination, communication, and advanced skills. Additionally, I had to read some self-help books on the internet to gain insight into the sport and how to be a winner in a running contest. Nationally, I received many useful and impactful advice and tips from my teachers, especially my PE teacher. They are really approachable and hospitable, so when I need help, they are always willing to lend a hand. After that, I wanted this competition, and my family and my teacher were really proud of me because I won this contest, which provided a large sum of money. I spent it on helping some impoverished individuals.
