Today was an exciting but tough day for me. We had inter-house sports training at school, and I was excited to be able to play football. It had been quite a long time since I had played soccer, and today I ended up playing in the defense position, which role I hadn't performed for quite a long time.
The game was very tough and I played my best to stop the other team from scoring. At one moment, I had to prevent an opponent from progressing; unfortunately, we met each other in collision. That gave me a slight injury to my leg. The pain wasn’t intolerable, but it reminded me of how rough football can sometimes be. Thank God I’ve started some medicines, and I’m hoping my dad will provide me with a relaxing massage on the leg after he finishes resting.
However painful my legs were, I could not ignore the duty towards keeping my surrounding areas clean. On returning home, I found my compound dirty with various snack wrappers and other forms of litter scattered all around. There was no wasting time. Taking a small trash bag, I started collecting the trash scattered around. It was pleasing to see my surroundings going back to a clean state, and though it had been quite exhausting during the day, I felt good about it.
Sports taught me teamwork today, while cleaning was a reminder of responsibility. Both had not been easy, but each had left me fulfilled. Let's keep doing our best to keep our environment and our world clean and green. Every effort counts! I really what to thank @cleanplanet for this great initiative. I wish you all a blessed day.
