I stayed positive in High Jump when other people hit the bar I said, ¨Nice Try¨ and if someone made it I said, ¨Good Job.¨

I did achieve my athletics goals by  trying my hardest in all of my events.

I represented my house color by wearing red and I got a pozi.

I did well in Sprints because I came 3rd and I tried my hardest.

Shot Put was challenging because the ball was heavy and hard to throw.

I'm most proud of Sprints and High Jump because in Sprints I came 3rd and in HIgh Jump I tried my hardest.
