One other activity that I took place in or participated in is actually a sport. It is basketball. So one day at school, the school arranged a special event or a cajun called Sports Day. So in this special day, a student can choose from a variety of sports and participate in it. So at that time I have chosen to participate in a basketball team. It’s where you can play freely without feeling you are in a competition. So at that time I really enjoyed playing basketball even though I was feeling a bit nervous and anxious because I didn’t have that full knowledge about basketball and its rules. But there is one rule and it was a bit strict. It has really strict regulations that you have to count your steps before throwing the ball in the basket. And as I mentioned before that I really liked that day. But I can say that I am typically not a sports person even though I enjoyed that day. Because I was among my friends playing freely without having any conceptions or being criticized by anyone. So I would really say that I enjoyed the day but not the sports.
