Never Give Up-My Skating Lessons | Blog by Advaitha,8, Bangalore

I have been quite interested in sports, mainly skating. I joined a school that offered skating as a part of co-curricular activity. The school used to take immense interest in teaching skating to its students. I had my skating class every Monday. I was very excited to learn skating on the first day of my class but I was very slow at skating. I felt very bad that I was lagging behind. After finishing my class when I went the home and told my mother about the skating Practice, she advised me to stay focused and keep trying. Never give up and don’t feel bad.

I started practicing skating every day. I fell down many times and got hurt too but I didn’t stop. I put in a lot of effort. I believed in hard work. Soon there was an Inter School skating competition selection process going to happen at my school. The school conducted skating races at the class level for the selection. I finally got the fruits of my hard work when I got selected for the Inter school skating competition.

The Inter school skating competition started with a celebration and the races were happening one by one. I was all excited to win the competition. Finally, my turn came. I started slow but gradually I increased my speed. Everyone around me was cheering me up and I won the race securing 1st place. It was like a dream come true for me. I was beaming with pride when I received the ‘Gold Medal’.
