So I'm going to talk about a sport that I personally like to engage in. It would be badminton, which is played mostly in our country apart from some other games. This is a kind of sport that does require a lot of effort and physical strength. I find that it has an impact on me; even though I'm not a very sporty person, I do like to play badminton, and I'm not a pro player either. It's a kind of family game we play in the backyard of my house in the field. I play it with my friends, family, and relatives, mostly with my father and my siblings. The first day I started to play badminton was when I was in sixth grade, I think. My father insisted that I play with him, even though at first I was shy to play because I didn't know how to play and I didn't know the rules. But after a few minutes, I did quite well, and everybody complimented me. Then I got motivated and started to play on a daily basis with everyone, including my relatives, as we are in the same community, so we played together. In high school, I played within the class; we had a competition, not an inter-school competition, but one within our own school. I didn't score well or achieve any position, but it was an experience. I gained some experience, and I wasn't hurt; I was quite happy about it. I got the chance to participate and see my ability. I enjoy playing it because I have enjoyed it since my childhood, even when I was new to it.
