Many have called but few are chosen. Many have strived but few surpassed. Many have tried but few survived. Early date in this September, getting ready for the genuine, conscientious and once in a year Intramurals. The facilitator for this Incoming Intramural built a one-day try out for the aspiring athletes to proof that they are worthy in that competition. Being an athlete or a player is a big opportunity for us to show how good we are in playing ball games and an athlete sports. It is not easy to become either a player or an athlete because you should do your best on every game that you have, there’s no room for errors, show what you’ve got. Don’t make your fears and b=nervousness kill and defeat you instead destroy it and make your dreams and goals inspire you and that is the source of your whole power when playing. Here we come, the exciting, hectic and much awaiting week of this month of September, the week of Intramurals.
Do you know what is the main purpose for having an Intramural is to develop the ability and skill of the students in each game, their aptitude is not yet develop so Intramurals was built for the amateur students who are craving to be, Laila Barros, one of the great and an International volleyball player. Came from Brazil, Michael Jordan, an International basketball player of Los Angeles Lakers and many more. Another purpose of this event is the word “exposure” which means unrestrictedly showing your talent in public in unveiled places. There are only 3 consecutive days for us to practice and revive our ability in different events. OMG, 3 days... can we? I thought that there were 1 week practice before the Intramurals just like the past few years.
AHA, I know the reason, it is because there were many affair that happened in this school year, just like on July, the nutrition Month celebration coerced by the Makabayan Club. On August, the Buwan ng Wika Celebration managed by the Communication Arts Club, and now on September, the Sci-Math Celebration, dominated by the Science and Math Club. And from this October, we are encountering then celebration coming from the Makabayan Club, This event is the UN or the United Nation and hope so that on November we will celebrate the Halloween Party, but wait who will manage this said event? Ahmmm maybe the SCAAC, hahaha, just kidding.
Returning to our topic, the said event is one of the most awaiting part of the school year because 3 consecutive days were the days the event appointed. Here we are again, as our adviser, Maam Glo, told to us that the team when we are in our 3rd year is again our team in 4th year. Gosh, I thought that there will be another team that should be assigned to us and/or Maam continued to say that to avoid expenses because there were many expenditure to pay on and on, so they reached to a decision that the jersey last year will be the one that will be use for the incoming Intramurals, but many of us ignore on that case because it is our last year in this school, we have the freedom to choose what we want because of this craving attitude of ours they decided again to buy jersey. Yes! Ahhaha and now September 23, 2010 will arrive. Most of the students were excited.
Early Morning on the 1st day of the Intramurals there were a dance showdown that will compete by team. We were the second performer after the great performance by the Gray Sharks and here we come as we heard the lyrics of the song, Do you Remember, “alright, alright, alright”, my heart pumped so much because we are all together. We were synchronized to each other, what a spectacular performance. The head of the event, Sir Dominador Menor, told to all of us that the 1st game on all the events will start after 10 mins. I’m so shocked because we are the one who will play in the first game in Volleyball competing to white wolves but unfortunately we didn’t won, spirit wasn’t good enough they are too strong for us to beat but we didn’t lose hope instead we’re seeking for our 1st win. The 2nd day arrives and again we are the one who will fight in the first game in this 2nd day. We fought the Blue Phoenix, in set 1 we got it, we beat them but in Set 2 our overconfidence results in losing and in the last set, gosh… 11-14. We lose huhuhuhuhu. I’m so embarrassed. I realized that on the 1st place I gave all what I’ve got. We don’t blame anybody for that scenario but our teammate, RG cried because he thought that because of him we lost. We explained to him everything and after that the problem was solved. After that assiduous, hectic and perseverant week, here we come the announcement of results, which the strongest that survived. Our Dear Sir Elmer and Maam Arma, both MAPEH teachers, announced the results. 5th place goes to Gold tigers; yes! we are shouting and happy. 4th place goes to blue eagles, White wolves garnered 3rd place and 2nd place goes to Gray sharks. Woooh!
We were sweating in this breath taking moment. In the 1st place, we thought that we were the on either 3rd or 2nd place but were wrong we did a great job. Here is it, the first place goes to Green Vipers. The team of Red Dragons was shouting because they are the Champion of Intramurals 2010-2011. Instead of going into a corner and cry we are contented on that because they deserved it but there’s a little embarrassment for me because it is our last year in SCA. We were wishing to be the champion, but our best wasn’t good enough. We learned so much in this competition. We prove that we deserved all what we’ve got. I love this moment because unity flowed upon our section, my classmates, my comrades and my four years of lovable and unforgettable friends. IV-ST. Francis is the best section that I’ve had in my high school Life. Because of this event, we discerned a lot and one thing that make me more competitive and it is the phrase “True Athlete never quit”
