MY INTRAMS JOURNAL 2023

    The intramurals held this year was the first ever held since the Covid-19 pandemic. We've been waiting for this for a few years. When the time finally came, we made sure we enjoyed every moment. It was lovely establishing friends with fellow students from different grade levels. As well as playing the games which were also very nerve-racking and challenging.

    Although it was a lot of fun to play basketball and volleyball, I preferred to watch them play. I get very excited during our volleyball games when my serve goes over the net or when we score a point. I only played basketball once, and it was during the preliminary round, because I was helping the Red Falcons in the elementary department with their volleyball games. It was embarrassing when I once fell while learning how to play basketball, but thanks to my friends' assistance, I wasn't hurt. 

    My friend (Angelina) and I also played table tennis as a duo. Since we had no idea how to play the game, we worried a lot for a long time. Although we got assistance from our other friends who were good at the game, we still lacked the necessary skill. We won our first game, which left us speechless. However, despite losing our second game, we were still satisfied with our performance because, as newbies, we finished in second place. Although there were about 5 people in the room, just the two of us were really loud since we couldn't stop giggling at our hilarious moves.  It was a wonderful thing, though, because it gave the place a positive energy.

    Even though I believed this year's intramurals was too short and ended on a cliffhanger, I still had a good time. I wish there were booths like there used to be. I am grateful to have made friends from other levels, and even after the intramurals, we continued to communicate and be friends. Despite the fact that our team, the Red Falcons, came in last overall, I am nevertheless pleased with and proud of the work of my teammates. One thing I made sure to remember is that, regardless of how competitive you are when playing games, you should never treat your friends like your foes even after the games are over. I hope we have much more fun intramurals next year since we will be in tenth grade and it'll be our last intramurals in Junior High School.
