We had a friendly football match
with the football team of Salaam
Baalak trust against our school the 6th
graders.
The match was organized by the community service club of the middle
school. I was really excited and looking forward to that glorious match. This
was my first football match in Pathways, so it was a pretty precious match for
me. I could see my studs shining because of the bright sun.
We had a lot of
substitutions in case anybody got hurt or was not playing well. As soon as the
match started I was biting my nails and had Goosebumps. No sooner the match
started I was substituted. I could hear my heartbeat and could feel the crowd
and my fellow friends cheering me that really boosted my confidence. As soon as
the first goal was struck the team was very nervous that what was going to
happen. The guests from Salaam Baalak Trust was playing extremely well with all
skills in place and accurate passes. Unfortunately we lost 3-0 but we learnt a
lot of new things.
Although, I felt that it was a
one sided game because the people were older than us, but then I thought they
do not have the facilities we do. So, it was nice sharing what we have and
learning the skills from them .The surprising thing was that all of them were
in 6th grade because in the trust children are put in to classes according to
their knowledge and understanding. After that we showed sportsmanship by
congratulating them. We also clicked pictures afterwards. It was a great
experience; I am looking forward to another match
