I can still remember my heart pounding, shouts of the spectators and my classmates’ gazing
upon me. It was my first race at school, and I wanted to win it more than anything else. While
I was approaching toward the start, my body was still shaking. When I saw my friends waving
happily, I began to feel even more nervous. At that time, I decided to keep calm and took a deep
breath. Then, the starting whistle blew and I started to run. I was concentrated on my track and
determined to win. Everything was going well and it was just the way I wanted. Then, something
terrible happened. I stumbled and fell on the grass. I was so embarrassed at that moment.
After a few seconds, I looked at my parents’ faces. They were smiling at me with a sense of faith
and trust. I could feel their support right then. I had the strength to stand up and run on the track.
I ran faster and faster, but there were still a few runners ahead of me. I was so exhausted, but
I never gave up. Finally, I saw the finish line and then crossed it. Later, the principal announced
the result. I came second in the race, but I was still so happy with the result because without my
parents’ support, I couldn’t even have finished the race. When I got my certificate, I was so proud
of my parents in my life. That day, my parents and I took this photo as a reminiscence.
