MY FAVORITE SPORT

Activity # 15 (Miguel Paz)

Sports play an important role in our life. It helps maintain internal balance. It makes us physically and mentally stronger. Sports help make our circle of friends bigger. Simply, sports are one of the reasons why life becomes good.

Lots of sports have already been discovered — throwing random stuff, hitting things, even moving the body uniquely is considered a sport already. I, myself, am not really inclined to these kinds of stuff. And besides, I like keeping a low profile, even though I can’t.

 

Anyways, the reason why I never liked sports was because I am afraid of LOSING. This is one of my greatest pet peeves, LOSING. I’m not used to this stuff because I always join activities which involve my fortes.

Recently, one of the physical activities I’m best at became a sport. Before, every time I was asked, “what is your favorite sport?” I’d answer swimming since that was the only sport I knew, even though I never am good at swimming. Now, whenever I am asked, I’d have the answer and I can proudly say, “Dancing. Dancing is my favorite sport.”

 

Many would say that I was born with this talent because when I was a child, I’d always join activities which involve dancing. As of now, I can groove to the beat of ballroom, folk and pop, but I know deep inside that I will be better in this sport and I’ll certainly learn more about it. Who knows, I might be one of the greatest athletes in the field of dance.

Many of my dancing friends encouraged me and introduced me to a new sport, and that is volleyball. By the time I knew that dancing was a sport, I became confident to try new ones, and since this one seems something light, I thought, what the heck! It’s a fresh start to the world of sports and this wouldn’t harm me, just my studies!

 

Some might doubt my manliness, I say I have freedom. And besides, I choose to love these as a man.

“Sports do not build character, they reveal it.”
