Athletics is my weakest strand, and I really can't do any sport well. I always fail the beep test even though I try hard. I'm also very bad at ball games; I always get hit by the ball no matter what kind of ball I'm playing. Last time my finger was hurt by a volleyball, I wasn't able to play the piano for two weeks. And one time I was playing goaly in a soccer game. a ball came right into my face and broke my glasses. I don't like learning new sports because I'm afraid to hurt myself, which happens often when I play sports even the easy ones. This year, however, I learned skating quickly without hurting myself, which makes me proud of myself.
This winter my friend Helena asked me to go skating in the community centre every day. I love watching figure skating and speed skating games but I know that it's easy to hurt myself on ice. I didn't have much to do during the winter break so I went with her anyway. We didn't find a coach but we both learned skating fast, in two days I was able to skate smoothly. I finally find a type of sport that I can do, and I enjoy being on ice. One day I saw two girls around my age learning skating on their own, they were only able to walk around holding the handrail, and struggled when other people skate pass them. I asked them if they need help, then Helena and I each hold one girl's hand and skate around with them. It's much easier to skating with someone's help, and the two girls learned skating faster.
I always felt bad in PE classed because I can't do any sport well, but now I know that I can at least learn a sport fast and can help others to learn. Skating is a interesting sport, and I'll practice more next winter. I won't take strength and condition next year, but I would do some exercises everyday,to keep myself fit.
