2015 Sports Day

I have been to several School Sports Days in Hong Kong and of course I remember competing back in England when I was a student. I have always enjoyed engaging with sporting activities and athletics is one of my favorites both as a spectator and a competitor. This year’s sports day featured some fantastic feats of strength and ability. It is always thrilling to witness young people exceeding their expectations, pushing their limits and taking pride in their achievements. But for me the Law Ting Pong 2015 Sports Day is most memorable because of the atmosphere of professionalism, sportsmanship and comradery generated by the students. A special mention must go to the captains and leaders of each house who helped create this atmosphere and instilled the spirit of good natured competition in all the younger competitors. It was truly an event to be proud of.

From the 22nd to 23rd January 2015 I joined the LTPSS sports day. I ran the 4x100m inter house and inter class relays. I learnt a lot of things from these two events, and I got three awards for myself overall. The happiest moment was when I ran the 4x100m inter class relay with my Performing Arts teacher, Mr. Stevenson. During the race, I was the third runner and Mr. Stevenson was the second. When I was on the track, I saw Mr. Stevenson running very slowly and I started to feel very nervous because I really didn’t want to come last. When Mr. Stevenson passed me the baton, I ran like under 9.9 seconds and I saw that I was able to run past three people and give the baton to the fourth runner, my friend Henry. Finally we came first in the 4x100m inter class relay, but no thanks to Mr. Stevenson! At that time, I felt as happy as if I had gone to heaven. That day, was the best day of my life!
