Senior Games (2010) Feb. 2010

The Senior is a fairly new Annual sports competition. As FOBISSEA games are not running for senior student this is the only alternative. I accepted the invitation by Mr. Larkins to join his team for the senior games football because throughout the year I've had to decline many of the matches and I basically gave up football because it conflicted with  steering committee commitments of the Round Square Conference 2010.

Me playing football and full of skillz!!!
My main aims of the senior Games was to make new friends, get into podium position, have fun and play my hardest. During the games I found myself very Unfit and it was extremely exhausted to the play game after game, luckily there were substitutes with consideration I took someone else's position by playing in this tournament, I kindly let the substitute take my place while I recovered. I tried to give a fair amount of play time to the other players who didn't get to play as much as me. It was really my first time in many months that I got a good chance to play football so I really wanted to challenge myself and see if I still have my talent and I can still play along some of the best in our school. It meant a lot to me because I love this sport and when I had to give it up for long time kind of broke my heart.  And it would be my only chance until after the conference is over. Knowing this in every match I would put 110% into every match I played, no matter how tired I was, no matter how much pain I was in I wouldn't let my passion for the game die down.

In the end, my team placed 2nd and knowing I played exceptional really made my day and motivated myself to continue with my prior duties of steering committee member as I knew I would be welcomed back into the football team with open arms. The Tournament really made me think that if you have a passion for something would it suddenly be innate within you and just takes a bit of work to light a burned out flame you used to have. I learned that determination can be a huge factor in overcoming obstacles. I acknowledged that we must not get in someone else way by your own action as for the better of the team we must communicate as a team a share the load equally are else 'we are not a team at all'.
