A passion for volleyball

“The sweat drips into my face.

Continuous pleasure flows.

Not feeling exhausted.

Cooperating bits the opponent.”

This is the best picture in my mind. Volleyball to me is no longer a kind of sport. It contains trust, cooperation, tolerance, strong will, patience, accomplishment and the most important one: happiness. I have played volleyball since I was in the fifth grade of elementary. It keeps many memories. For me, it is part of my life rather than a sport. When I play with my teammates or say my friends, we can understand each other with a light eye expression. Even the weather was bitterly cold, scorching hot or torrential rain, we played volleyball as usual. What volleyball gave me were not pieces of medal, I gained friendship and trust. I think this is the best treasure thing God gave me.

A present

Today is a meaningful day. It’s my mom’s birthday. Since I attend college, I hardly have the time to go home and talk with my mom. Therefore, my younger sister and I planned to buy a comfortable rope sandal for mom. Because my mom donates herself to the whole family and never complained a word, we decided to make money by our own and bought this wonderful shoe. As a result, we find a part-time job in a sea-food restaurant as waitress. It’s not as easy as we imagined. We were exhausted after a twelve-hour working. At that restaurant, we had to mop the floor, washed dishes and stood all day long. We seldom do that housework at home; hence, our hands and legs were aching all over with fatigue. Although we hate doing that stuff, we gained experience from this work. We realize the importance of studying hard. Our reflection is that: we’ll NEVER do this again! It makes me thought of the idea that cultivating our competition in society is significant. After this experience, we know and understand that earning money by our knowledge instead of labor is much easier. And finally, we receive two thousand dollars. We went to the department store and searched for the unique shoe. Wearing rope sandal is extremely comfortable in the hot summer day. I saw the big smile when we sent this present to my mom, I know the “fag” we did today was worth it.

Losing weight

Recently, I had no idea about what to eat as my meal every day. Then I started to eat junk food such as cookies, French fries, and bubble tea instead appropriate meal. That’s extremely unhealthy to my health. Then I got constipation. What a miserable thing! And my mom found my belly was like a balloon. That really upset me! Therefore, I decided to exercise to prick my balloon. (Ha)

PE class

Today is the first PE class of the new semester. I’ve been looking for it the whole night since I would like to play volleyball with my boyfriend and his classmates. When we played volleyball I felt like burned but due to the passion for volleyball we played it till noon. The whole volleyball court were merely 12 people, yeah, it’s us. However, people may consider we are numb; I like the feeling of exciting and united. I think I am a half –boy girl because nowadays most of girls regard ultraviolet as fair-skinned killer, only few exceptional girls as me like playing balls under the sun. After class, my friend and I went back to the dorm, and found out we got serious sun tan! What a miserable thing to know! But truly speaking, I had a very wonderful and super time.
