Comaraderie

Sports Day came and went with bang.

It started immediately after the exams with three heats in a row and before we knew it, Sports Day was over.

About half the class took part in one event or another. Amin's forte was clearly in running, Bishu, Gladys, Sharvena and Vincent were not to be outdone and found their niche in long distance as well. Chin Yang realised that he could sprint, but so could Diana and Desmond too. There were many 'first's for many of us. But the class rallied behind one another and cheered till our voice went hoarse.

It did not matter that many of us did not win the first prize. It was already an achievement for those who had taken that first step to try something new. That first step which is the most difficult but also the most important.
