Summary:
Last school year, I started to play golf, a sport that I had never played before. Because it was my first time, I had to learn the basic first which I found very challenging because I was not good with handling the clubs. However, I started to have some passion for this sport because after a long hour school day, I could release my stress and enjoyed myself. Even though sometimes I had to face challenges such as swinging, aiming, and many more, I realized that I had the ability to improve, I had perseverance and I wanted to play. I practiced almost everyday and learned new skills. Thanks to my coach who showed patience with me and guided me through, I could improve slowly. I started to compete with other golfers; before competing with golfers that had experiences and better than a new golfer like me, I thought that this would be very difficult to keep up with them and they would be bored playing with me; however, different from my thoughts, they were actually very patient with me; they showed me how to swing and stand in order for the ball to go far; they were very nice and open to me. Through this experience, I finally understand that playing sport is actually very enjoyable and interact with others through competitions is another way to learn new things.
