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.
