It's time to play

One of the periods students like is when they have phe. Apart from the home economics practical hour where we cook and make snacks because most of us like food, the outdoor sport is next. I attended a government secondary school where almost all the pupils in the school love playing. If they were allowed to play from 8.00 AM till closing time from Monday to Friday, 98% of them would be glad about it. But you know what? When it comes to class activities, we are still more than active and ready to learn. As young, folks, we cannot just swallow the excitement of doing the practical performance of the theory we’ve learnt in class

Apart from eating a balanced diet regularly to keep us healthy and free from diseases, exercise goes a long way in complementing the vitamins, proteins and other body building and energy given food we take. The lack of exercise is a major contribution to obesity. A lot of children and teenagers in some countries have accumulated fat more than their age. When they climb the stage to check their weight, the scale misbehaves. It displays 189 o’ clock instead of 189 Kg. No bike man never agrees to carry a girl in my class. If you ever see her on any bike seat, it means she’s paying for two and half people. Exercising our body is a very good way to keep fit, and also reduce weight by losing extra Lbs that can retard our movement to carry 10th position when we sprint with just three people. I love fat people. It’s a sign of good living, but it’s always advisable to keep fit regardless of size and I will always cherish them ( the fat ones that are physically fit)

It was a thing of joy. This topic made me remember many things we did, and the memories of many high school friends that I’ve never been opportune to meet again after school came back like everything we did together years ago happened yesterday. I won’t forget my encounter with Shamsudeen. Most of the time, I always pray that we are not paired together in every sport. I take delight in dribbling him over and over again. He was a very aggressive player that I always taught lessons with a gentle touch. One of the things that amuses me is when others laugh at him as I use him to catch Cruz on the pitch. He was our sport comedian. Tell him to jump up, he would jump sideways. He never jumped one high jump successfully. If he’s in your team, you are in trouble. He was the first person I saw that played penalty to throwing. He’s a slim guy but the fat fit ones were far better than him in every activities

My memorable moment was when our phe master organized phe sports competition in the school. We did many sports like high jump, soccer, cricket, volleyball, and relay race. I was selected to play soccer which I am glad to be a part of. But I’ve never had the courage to play among the senior students until that day. I scored three goals using the same style and the school’s first keeper couldn’t deny my touches. He was surprised. That performance gave me a shirt in the school team while in jss 3

It does big time. I used to play soccer with only my classmates at the back of the class. I never joined players on the school field to play because I had no confidence. But the competition arranged by him made me understand that I’m capable of playing among those that are beyond my level. When I got to SS1, I joined a football club at the national stadium. That moment really taught me to be confident of myself at all time

Every Wednesday is phe in the summer lesson and I’m in charge of it. We play volleyball, badminton, and soccer. We also throw dart and do ball and sack races. What my phe master did for me years ago is what I’m doing for the young children now. It’s amazing isn’t it? I love this topic. A big thumb up for the person that bring it on
