Sports Day
As I looked through my shelf for a journal to read, I saw an especially old and dirty book. I took it out and on the cover page, it read, “Sweet Memories”. I flipped through the pages and noticed that the edges of the pages were yellowed and with mildew on it. However, as I turned to the back page, I saw a picture of me having a soccer match in school during sports day. Then, I started to recollect the incidents on that fateful day.
That day was the most significant day of my life. It was the annual sports day! I woke up especially early and did the daily routine before having my breakfast. That day’s breakfast was sumptuous. I had a wholesome of: milk, cheese, bread and oatmeal. Armed with my sports equipments, I opened the door and headed off to school.
Upon reaching the school, I immediately headed to the hall for assemble. “WOW! There are ‘hundreds’of ‘hundreds’ of pupils in the hall, all seated according to the sports we participate and also to the house colours we were in. As I was participating in the soccer competition and I was in the red house, I squeezed through the crowd of people and found a seat according to the criteria that I had mentioned (in line 10). Fortunately, I was seating beside my best friend, Carrot, and then we started to begin our usual morning chat.
A few minutes later, our principal strolled into the hall with big strides and went up onto the stage. Upon seeing her, we all began to quieten down and looked at her silently. She looked around the hall with her “eagle eyes”, seeing if everyone is looking at her. Then, she took the microphone and smiled cheerfully, “Good Morning School!” However, we answered her like zombies, “Good…morning………Miss……” and half way greeting her, everyone began to “sleep”. Assuming that we were sleepy, she remained her cheerful composure and asked in a very quick and lively way, “Who’s ready for Sports Day?” We, as if on cue, shouted, “YES!!!” With that, the principal gave the opening speech and soon,

We talked for the ten minute ride before finally arriving at school. I sat down in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring. Brrriinnngggg! I rushed to Mrs. Gregory’s room for Lit.

    I am upstairs and ready to begin. I start by dusting a little, moving some boxes to the side, when I am suddenly distracted by a particular box. The box had my name written on it, and as I put the duster aside, I walk towards the box. On top of the box it had some old photo albums, and I open the first photo album. I start looking through the photo album and all I see is some old family photos, birthday parties, special events and holiday pictures. Putting that album aside, I open the next photo album. It was pictures of me growing up with close friends and family. It was like for a second, I was going back in time. I almost immediately, forget about the cleaning and pull up a small plastic pinkish stool and sat down.…

At the end of the huddle, we all rushed to the table with our grumbling stomach, and our dirty hands, taking fried rice, somen salad, chili, rice, and hot dogs from tinfoil trays. We sat down and gorged ourselves to our stomach’s desire. When we finished our plates, we ran around playing kickball, football, or riding our bikes around the fields. While our parents talked, we were exerting all our…
