My experience with sports

I was a very inactive kid, I didn't practiced a lot of sports outside of playing baby football with friends on the weekends, and I sucked at it. In 7th grade the P.E. classes were made in the bigger playground of the school and in the gym, so the teacher let us play football and basketball at the end of each class, I still sucked, but that didn't kept me apart from playing anyway, during that year I realized that I wasn't that bad at basketball and I was "decent" as a goalkeeper in baby football, a very unorthodox one, because of the rule that you can only score shooting inside the box (which it's very small), I went out to press the player and clear the ball before he could enter the area.

In high school I went to play baby football with my classmates regularly to a park near the school after class, especially on fridays, also played basketball with friends from time to time and my best friend invited me to practice rugby, I still wasn't very good at any of these sports (with the exception that sometimes I had decent, even good, displays on basketball, but that wasn't a regular thing) but I loved to practice them anyway. The dynamic of being in a team, in a close match where everyone is focused in what they have to do, give your best and turn the score to your favor are all very attractive and amazing things in my opinion, also, and most important, you can have tons of fun playing/practicing sports, independent if you are good or bad at them, specially if you do it with friends. This ended being a habit during all high school and kept practicing rubgy some years. 




To this day we still settle football matches from time to time with my friends from school.

  2. Even if you did not consider yourself very good, it's great that you practice them the same! That's what sports are about, to develop values such as perseverance.

English language challenges

Until now I've had a really nice experience with the english classes at the university, they've been very different from the classes...
