We went by register number and unfortunately I was the last of the group. All of us started out to do the first stage which we were given 3 attempts to jump over the pole. The first stage was easy and many of us managed to pass. However, as we saw Mr Lee raised the pole higher for the second stage, we were all frightened. Jumping over that height was no easy task. We all took our turns and unfortunately, I failed my first two attempts. As the others continued the last try, I waited anxiously for my turn.

It was my turn to go and my legs were shivering! At this rate, I would not be able to jump over that pole! However, I mustered up my strength and at full speed, ran towards the pole and as much as my left foot could carry, I pushed myself as high up as possible with it. Boom! I landed on the mattress. I failed. I had hit the pole down in mid-air and failed. The only people who passed were Zhi Jun, Damien and Justin!

Later, they had their 3rd and final stage to go. The pole was way higher now. Although I was disappointed about my inability to jump over the 2nd stage, I still rooted for them together with the class, hoping that one of them would be able to clear the stage. After 2 tries, Damien managed to clear the final stage. The whole class cheered for him. At the forth try, Justin managed to clear the final stage as well and as a whole class, we congratulated him as well. However, sadly, Zhi Jun was unable to clear the last stage but the effort put in by him to pass the first two stages were simply amazing. Even I couldn't do it.

I will continue to train hard during P.E lessons and hopefully next year in Secondary 3, I will be able to jump at the height that i failed to do so today.
