Top Moments that Made Me Feel on Top of the World
Hey there! I am not a self-obsessed person, but on November 6, 2017, I became one for that moment. It was on that day when I felt truly at the top of the world. My journey began in the sixth grade when I started playing kabaddi and got a chance in my city team after just two months of practice. Kabaddi, I must say, is a journey I still haven't fully left behind, and it’s almost five years since I started.
Encouragement and Hard Work
Our school held a Chinmaya Kabaddi tournament, a significant event that brought the entire student body to the school, even those who were usually studious. A month before this tournament, we had participated in a district-level inter-school tournament where our team lost in the finals, and as the captain, I was scolded heavily. Our team was almost broken, and we all felt that if we couldn't win in our city, how could we hope to win across schools in the country?
Personal Sacrifices and Endurance
Apart from the usual grueling practices, I was supposed to lose 4 kilograms in a month, which was really difficult. Finally, the tournament began, and guess what? We won all of our matches. At that moment, all the hard work, the sacrifices made during puja vacations, and the taunts of "touch me not" because of my tanned skin seemed replied to. Each play, each match felt like a victory over the insults from rude teachers and the judgments from people on the streets. It was a reminder that every moment of toil and perseverance was worth it.
Reflecting on the Journey
The trophy held that day reminded me of every moment since I started. It was difficult to believe that all the hard work had led us to this moment. I know it wasn't an Olympic event, but it felt monumental in my life. Even after that, I have played many tournaments and won them, but nothing ever felt the same. The excitement and the adrenaline rush are still palpable as if I am living through it again. It was a defining moment in personal growth and success.
