Am now one of the teachers-in-charge of the Basketball Club. Chaperoned the girls’ team to their match.

Growing up, I was never really into competitive team sports. Maybe my class competed against another class in school during recess, but that’s it. I never got to experience the crushing weight of losing, the relentless hold of time, and the camaraderie that arises when you fight hard with your teammates for every single point.

I could only cheer my students on. But even that showed me how wonderful it is to be part of something greater than myself.
