In the morning, we took a van to the Concordian school, where the Varsity Girls' volleyball tournament was held. Other school players were warming up, and the cold air in the gym made me more nervous. The whistle blew to start the first game, and I was tense and stiff, but I seemed to be relaxed by playing several games and showing skills. Later, at the beginning of the last game, we continued to give points because of the tips given by the opponent. However, as we got used to it, we got ready and were able to continue the rally with tips.
I was able to identify my strengths and areas that I need to grow in this tournament, and I was also able to learn new skills and control them. The most important thing was the team because there were people who could cheer each other up when they were having a hard time and share the joy when they were happy. We achieved a good result of third place because of teamwork, and I want to perform better next time.

For two days, the Fobisia Basketball, in which seven teams compete, was held at RUGBY School. There were also teams from the Philippines and China, and many groups gathered. All the games were intense, and I could see all the passion being put into them. The court was filled with cheers, coaches calling for operations, strong whistles, and steps running around. I wanted to win, but it wasn't as easy as I thought. The more I played the game, the more I felt stuck to the wall, so it was physically and mentally tired. However, every time we started the game, we started with a new heart and a lot of energy. Through the tournament, I learned how to communicate with the team and how to cope with pressure from the opponent. Also, I was grateful to the teammates who worked hard until the last game.

The ASAC Basketball Tournament was held in Cambodia and was my first overseas match. I went to Cambodia for four days, and on the first day, I went to NISC school and practiced shortly. The game lasted three days, and the hot and humid weather quickly exhausted the energy. The first game was against NISC, and the game went smoothly. We also showed all the strategies that we had practiced the previous day and continued to accumulate points. On the third day, I was tired and had no energy, even when warming up. In addition, even in the middle of playing the game, my emotions were out of control, and I ran recklessly. I also had to choose choices and actions in a short time. I had a hard time physically, but it was fun because our teamwork improved, and I was proud that we got a good result of second place. In this competition, I learned communication skills with other schools. We were competitors in the game, but after the game, we returned as teenagers and became friends laughing and chatting. Before that, it was difficult to approach and talk to players because of the sense of competition, but it was good to be more active in the end.

Trisports is a tournament held at ICS in which players must participate in up to three sports. (Basketball, volleyball, and football). On the first day, I played basketball and played a total of four games. It was new to play with other teams that I had never played before, and I also thought about how to deal with their strategy. We strengthened our teamwork by supporting each other. On the third day, I played volleyball, and as the players played consecutive sports, everyone looked tired and there were sick friends. Nevertheless, it was encouraging to see them do their best until the end. I was also nervous and tense because I had to play in front of many people. When I scored, it was twice as good and thrilling.
