An Unforgettable Experience
Looking back on the past three years, everyone had some unforgettable experiences.
Last Saturday afternoon, we had a football competition against the team from the senior class in our school. Though inferior in skills and experience, our team showed great enthusiasm and fought hard. As a member of our team, I used every chance to catch the ball and pass it on to my teammates. However, the senior team showed great skills in their performance. Unluckily, we lost the game, but we all felt satisfied as we had gone all out on the sports field.
From this experience, I’ve learned that, whenever we face challenges, we should fight hard instead of being discouraged or even giving up. Meanwhile, we should make full use of every opportunity to improve ourselves.
