A dozen of middle students from The Pathways School Noida played for their school in an inter-school football tournament. We had started from school at around 12 ‘o’ clock and reached Aravalli with numb legs because of the long journey.
We reached at around 3 ‘o’ clock, and had lunch. After a light meal we rested for a while and then made our way to the field. The game had started and at once we understood that the game is going to be aggressive. We gave our best shot but we could not make it to the semi-finals. It was a heartwarming experience for us as we climbed a step higher in responsibility as we had to stay away from our parents and had to handle everything ourselves. The games were aggressive but in the end because of the passion for the game we shoved aside our on-field issues and gave each other a pat on the back. Tanmay Diwan
