My Accomplishments
My main accomplishments are in the practice of squash. This sport has been very important to me since I started as a child. At that time I did not know much and sometimes it was difficult to me, but very quickly I started to enjoy myself and I felt fine when I got my goals. Although the training is tough it has helped me gain some important tournaments, where I got the best results when I make my best effort and concentrate more.
My Conflicts
The most conflicts that I had, are when I lose points in a very important game and sometimes I do not know what to do. That makes me feel frustrated. Other times I have had to face players who are not fair and try to cheat, especially in major tournaments.

Decision Essays
It was my first trip abroad to a squash championship, when I went to El Salvador. In that moment I realized that I would learn a lot about my favorite sport as well as other´s experiences in this practice.
It started out as an ordinary day, but I didn’t know that this day would be very important for my family and me.  I had a lot of things to learn and I actually did it, because I could share this competition with some of the best players I couldn´t ever imagined.
If only I had more time to stay in that place I might go visit some amazing places in that country that I’d probably liked. But it was good and I’ll never forget these moments in my life.

My Roles
a)   Best friend
All my life I have been very friendly with my friends at school and squash tournaments. Sometimes I have known very interesting people who I had never imagined. When I found in a tournament I had to share many happy and sad moments with others, and especially in difficult times I have known my best friends who are those that support me when I feel bad.
b)   Leader
Since I started practicing squash I have had many good experiences. When you do not know anything about the sport I met some who supported the new players in a good way. Then, I also had to meet new players and I like to guide them and teach them a few things I've learned. I think I can be a good leader for them. I like to listen to them when they have questions that seem silly but it is interesting to understand what they think.
