Goals, Dreams and Achievements


I am a student, athlete, musician, daughter, cousin, sister, best friend and girl friend. I am your normal typical teenager. That has dreams in life. I had a goal once, a goal that I wanted to achieve a long time ago. I have dreams, dreams that I made it already happen and the dreams and goals goes along with my achievements. My goal was to finish my high school life with honors in academics, I don't want to depend on my athletic abilities. I know I have an ability in my academics, but still it's dormant. Why am I so lazy? I know I'm intelligent but why can't I use it in the academic field. Why do I always use it in sports, nothing will happen to me if I keep on depending in sports. My dreams were to become a successful engineer, but how can I be successful if I don't even study for my future life. I think I should do it in action. I also dreamed of bringing honors in school, by being an athlete. I play badminton, I am a proud badminton player. I play for my school, and never shall I betray my school. I became a champion in badminton, doubles female division. I never felt so happy in my entire life when I brought honor in our school, I'm an athlete I know what it feels like when you loose or win. But loosing is not in my vocabulary. 1st place is still like you're a looser though you're a winner but being the CHAMPION is the best. But there came a time that I have to face trials in my sports career. First off, my knee injury, sprain, wrist injury and my mother. My knee injury started when I was training for the international match in Tae-kwon-do, I fell down knee first. I can't move my right knee, because it really hurts and I think that my bone was dislocated. I freaked out, when I knew that I can't play or compete for 1 year. I was crying, I keep on telling myself that I need to compete to win the gold medal to get the championship and to play for my country, after a year of silence I trained well, though my knee hurts at times but I didn't mind it. The match day came, I gave out my best, all that I can do to win. My sister served as an inspiration to me, I let out all my anger until I realized that I won that my opponent has been knocked out. I can hear the crowd screaming, celebrating while I'm there standing looking up and thanking God for everything, I looked at the VIP area, where my sister was sitting, she looked at me then raised her hand holding the Philippine flag and my tae-kwon-do shirt with my codename on it "The Assassin". I smiled at her, then raised my hand, all of the filipino people started to shout and celebrate again. I can feel tears rolling down my cheeks, but I'm smiling for short Tears of joy. My team mates ran towards me then gave me a hug. Even though I suffered from a severe injury I still won, I didn't give up, cause I know that giving up is never my option and my choice. Wrist injury, I suffered from a very painful wrist injury. I can still remember our badminton training, I've been bearing the pain of my wrist. I did a lot of smashes but my smashes are weak, I lost to my coach with the score of 2-15 imagine that! I rested my wrist for about a week, I didn't train so I can rest. After 2 weeks, I started playing again. My smashes became stronger and faster, I kept in practising so I my smashes can be more stronger and faster. I worked very hard just to reach my dream to be a badminton player the most feared badminton player in the female's division. Sprain, because of basketball. It was the finals game, yellow vs. green basketball girls. I am their team captain, green tamarraws captain ball in basketball girls. Yes, i'm the most feared player in basketball because of my skills, I don't know that's why they say. Many say that I'm really "mayabang". It's only natural that i'll make "angas" inside the court, if you're going to take it seriously then you loose not us. I played for my time until the championships, but before the championships something tragic happened. Me and my team mates were warming up, I blocked one of my team mates but one of them tripped me, so it caused my foot to tilt painfully, I can't stand cause i'm in pain. After 10 minutes of sitting, I started to run because the commisioners were calling the team captains, Good! I can ran. I was just bearing the pain in the entire game, cause I wanted my team to win and also I wanted my MVP title back, after that win we celebrated. Until I was brought to the clinic cause the pain in my foot is unbearable, I saw my ankle was swelling it was until I knew that it was a sprain. I was panicking, worried and shocked. I can't walk and even stand up for a long amount of time. My team manager and team mates visited me inside the clinic, my team mates were like "Awww man.. what's going to happen to us if you're not going to play." then I said "I trust you guys, I know you can do it." I said as i lay back down to sleep. Then, the championships came Red Vs. Green, me and our school nurse watched the game but all I can do was stand there and watch them, my team mates were looking at me begging me to play. "Please! Play! We need you! We can't take it anymore." one of my team mates said, all I can do is stare at them and cry. I was crying because I saw their score, I was thinking what if I was there maybe will win, maybe we have a score not a 0-4. I turned my back away from them, then walked towards the clinic. I lay down then try to sleep. It was until then they told me that the green team loss, I was like "That's okay, at least you did your best." I know my team mates are counting on me because they know that I'll be the game maker. I told them that, "It's okay guys, at least you gave out all your best, you showed them that we're not going to give up on them easily and the most important thing is that you enjoyed the game." I told them. They hugged me and thanked me for being their captain ball, I also hugged them and thanked them for being my team mates. 


In reaching your dreams and goals, don't give up easily. Yes, we fail in the first try but try and try until you succeed. Don't lose hope whenever you fail in trying.
