Hey everyone, this is the second UC Prompt,
welcome to common on it or makes some change!!!
Tell us about a personal quality,
talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you.
What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it
relate to the person you are?
As a little
girl, I like to see the birdie popping in the sky. I remember how my mother
taught me playing badminton. We played badminton whenever we have time; hence,
the activity of playing badminton influences me to become one of the member s
in badminton team. The fact is that badminton is really a normal activity for
me because I played it any time I want and anywhere I can and badminton in
China just like tennis in the United States, everyone can play it no matter you
are a professional or just a new player.
Badminton has done the work to push myself to work as hard as I can.
When I came to
the United States, I stated to join the badminton team in Alameda High School.
In the Badminton Team, most of us are Asians. Maybe badminton really is an
Asian sport, in our team; I do not see people that other than Asians accept our
Coach Ruiz. When I join the badminton team in my first year of high school, I
chose to be a single player instead of double player. Unfortunately, I was not
that good in playing badminton because I have not been training when I started
to play in my second grade. As a result, I ask one of my friends to teach my
friends and me how to play badminton more professionally. During the practice in the badminton season
of my first year, because I have not got in the varsity and I am a JV 1 in the
single, I only need to go to practice on Monday but I choose to go every day.
Second year in
badminton team, I choose to not to be a women single player anymore and I paired
up with Angela for try out and got separated when we really got into the second
place of women double. As a result, I paired up with Kayla, a junior in that
time. With a partner that does not speaks the same language as me that is really
difficult to communicate while we are playing game, so that we could not say
anything that is secret. Because we are two different types of people, I choose
to be the one who defend and Kayla’s job is to keep track of the front. We have
not played together before, so we need have to take more time to practice the
role turn. The role turn is known as the hardest thing for both of us, but my
mind just keep saying “Do not give up, Stephy, you can do it! Just do not give
up, wait for the last minutes then you will success!” By putting in many hard
working, the result turn in much better for my freshman year in team. One of
the away games that our school play against Berkeley High School, a school with
really good badminton players, even our really good players still lose to the
Berkeley School, but my partner and I do our best to play the game, and my
extra training have pay off into this game.
Third year in Badminton Team, a really
meaningful year, Angela and me both got the first place in badminton women double
in Alameda Contra Costa County Athletic League. My extra work out and spend
extra time with my private coach to improve my skill, those have pay off in
ACCAL. I am really grad that has done a good work.
Though great effort, I have done a really
good job and by joining the badminton team in the pass three years not only
means the experience I have earn had become an accomplishment in my high school
year. I learned to become more independent and working as hard as I can.
