When I was a kid, I love playing indoors and outdoors. Since I don't have brothers and sisters anymore, I used to play with my dear cousins. My cousins, Joseph and Jessie (they're brothers) are fond of playing basketball. They taught me how to play and it started there how I appreciated ball games. Whenever, they visit our house or vice versa, we always play - basketball.
The time has passed and something has changed. We moved to a new house. My family decided to live in another town. I was kinda sad because I didn't get many playmates in that area. Until one day, the story of liking sports has started. I think I was in the intermediate level, 4th grade, our P.E. teacher has introduced us another ball game. It was the - "VOLLEYBALL".
At first, it was very difficult. We didn't like it. My classmates and I were complaining about it. After that class, our hands were red and we felt the pain due to volleyball. I could hear my classmates they would never play again. Because they were afraid the ball will hit their faces. So, did I. :(
Until one day, our teacher called us for a volleyball practice. He was planning to form a new team for our school. We were hesitant because some of the others didn't respond when he announced in front of the class. But the story favorably changed when all of us agreed. We were persuaded that it's only during the first stage of playing volleyballl is really hard. Once you get used to it, it would be easy. Besides, it's a team sport, too.
I could not remember all the details how we passed those trainings and practices. The best thing I knew was I started to like the sport. I always play with my friends until I studied in high school. There were even days that I was fetched by my mother because I was still in school around 6 o'clock. Normally, we go home at 5pm. She was sometimes angry because I gave much time to play than to study my subjects. But I never argued with her. I was always quiet whenever she talked about it.
The best thing was we won the championship game when I was in 4th year. The Yellow Team has celebrated with a grateful heart. I was so happy at that time.
University days have come and still I enjoyed the spirit of playing volleyball. I played when I was a freshman. Too bad we were defeated by the string seniors. Hahahaha. I charged it to experience.
When I worked in a private school, I brought and bequeathed the legacy of this sport. I taught my 5th and 6th graders to play volleyball. At that time, the reception was okay. All students tried to play and they enjoyed. There was a moment wherein I could not tell them to stop. I could see in their faces the longings to play it.
Right now, I still play volleyball sometimes, especially whenever I have a free time. But most of the time, I watch local volleyball matches during may day off, livestreaming volleyball games and read volleyball stories.
Folks, I just love volleyball. I will post some stuff about volleyball next time. :)
