Activity

1.)Sports Day

1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process

5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

Participating in multiple events during our school's Sports Day proved to be both challenging and rewarding, culminating in our grade achieving 3rd place overall. I challenged myself by competing in four events: the 2000m track race, 400m relay, girl's football, and tug of war. As someone who has always liked sports, I embraced the opportunity to represent my grade in multiple events.Each event presented unique challenges that tested both individual capabilities and team coordination. The 2000m race demanded personal endurance and mental strength, while the relay race emphasized the critical importance of timing and trust between teammates. In team events like football and tug of war, effective communication and strategic positioning were essential for success. Despite getting a knee injury during the events, I remained committed to my team's success and wanted to continue playing. This determination not only helped maintain our team's momentum but also revealed my own capacity for resilience under difficult circumstances. The experience reinforced valuable lessons about teamwork, particularly how success in group events relies heavily on mutual trust and coordination. This was a fun and meaningful experience as it reflected not just individual athletic abilities, but our grade's collective effort and team spirit. This Sports Day enhanced my understanding of collaborative success and personal perseverance, while also strengthening bonds with teammates through shared challenges and achievements.

2.)Snorkelling and Kayaking

1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

As someone who enjoys trying new things, my trip to Koh Chang with my family provided a great opportunity for new experiences. While there, I participated in two water activities - kayaking and snorkeling. Although I had been kayaking before, doing it in Koh Chang felt different, maybe due to the clear waters and beautiful surroundings. Snorkeling was completely new to me, and after learning the basic technique of breathing through the snorkel and maintaining proper position in the water, I was able to observe the underwater marine life. This was particularly memorable as it was my first time seeing the ocean from this perspective.

Even though kayaking was familiar to me, doing it in a new location helped me understand how I can adapt to different environments. Both activities were physically demanding - kayaking required upper body strength while snorkeling needed overall body coordination and stamina.This experience was valuable as it combined both familiar and new activities.

3.)Cycling

During the summer break, my friends and I took up morning cycling as a fun activity. We would wake up early to catch the sunrise, which added an extra special element to our rides. Although getting up early was sometimes challenging, the peaceful morning atmosphere and the beautiful views of the sunrise made it worthwhile.

Cycling together not only helped us stay active but also gave us a chance to spend quality time with each other. The morning rides were refreshing and energizing, setting a positive tone for the rest of our day. Even though we weren't cycling extremely long distances, the regular activity helped improve our stamina and fitness levels.

What made these rides memorable wasn't just the exercise, but the whole experience showed me that physical activities don't always have to be intense or structured to be beneficial. Sometimes, combining exercise with social time and nature can make the experience more enjoyable and sustainable.
