One of my great moments
When I was in seventh grade,I once participated in the 1000 meter race at the school sports meet.When I ran to 500 meters,I was so tired that I didn't want to continue running.At this moment,I saw my classmates and teachers cheering me on.I kept on running again.I chased the athletes in front little by little.Finally,I achieved a good score of second place.Through this incident,I understand that no matter what we do,as long as we persist,we can definitely achieve success.
