For God's sake, let me win!

Having a conversation was actually really nice. Thank you for that, kid I barely knew :')


"I'm just a little kid. Let me win." In silence, slowly she murmured with a sigh while keeping her hands busy blocking half of my body. 
I was thinking, the kid's got guts.

"Excuse me, what did you just say? No! I gotta win this game!." I replied her.
In a blink of an eye, another valid point is made by my team. I looked at her smiling.

"I'm sorry the ball accidentally shot the ring." I said to her. I'm so sure she saw my smile. 
She reacted just as I expected her to. She was smiling too.

That was an awkward conversation between me and the girl I was playing netball with. Despite her young age and small silhouette, she's surprisingly good. Looking down on others is prohibited, I said. Truth be told, I actually could see her eagerness to win this game. 
I knew she's on fire. FIRE~!!

now playing~! :')

Unfortunately, her team won't make it. I'd have to say that was the best part of game from them. 
Applause. 
Game over, we hardly won.

Basically, I'm talking about a program that I've joined named Cougar Kids Sports Camp 2015 to complete the 1st year Social Engagement project. For your information, Cougar Kids is an exciting new youth sports program specially made to kids. The main purpose of this program is to bring out the champion in every child. We, students of Telecommunications Engineering are just starting our handball and netball training classes for ages 10-12. In addition, we hope to bring opportunities to children to learn more about themselves and how to become the best they can be. 

Go back when we first arrived, we are glad that they happily welcoming us. After a short briefing, most players perform some type of regular warm up. Warming up should be the first thing on the to-do list to prevent an injury during training. Warming up sessions was lead by one of the students.

Even though kids' team doesn't play effectively, the kids were all alright. They've got spirit, yes they do! If you don't think they're awesome, maybe there's something wrong with you. Winning matters but aside from winning, what matters most is to treasure our talent because we live and we learn, basically.

*cough*
 Actually it's been a while since I've stopped doing sports, so it's quite shallow and hectic for me but it's really fun, everyone's chilled out. I felt healthy and good . Hope so many others feel the same way as I do.

Sure, for me all the memories that we've created with the kids would be the unforgettable thing in my life even for a short period of time. All those times would be the best memories. I hope everything I wrote here will sum up my awkwardness and happiness with people.


p/s:

I almost got my pants ripped off when my friends said I'm cool. I'd take it as a compliment. Thanks for that :') And to whom it may concern, you never cared about the game. Grab the ball, find the right direction and throw it. 
Weirdos, peace :D

Lots of love,
