How are you getting on? I haven't written to you for a few months because I have been preparing for an inter-school competition. The competition is now over and I can tell you a piece of good news - My school has just won the inter-school girls' and boys' basketball championships.
As I told you in my last letter, I had practised with my team every day after school for a year. The match was very important to us because we had always been the first runner-up for the past three years. St. Andrew's
College always beats us by 1 point.
This year, we met again. We told ourselves that we couldn't lose this time. We knew the opponents were very skilful at playing basketball.
During the match, everyone tried hard to score. We were under great pressure as our opponent scored first. However, our teacher encouraged us.
We took a deep breath and concentrated again. In the end, our concentration paid off and we won! Our victory was due to the cooperation of every member. I learned the power of team spirit through our victory.
After that, I felt extremely tired but as you can see from the photos I have enclosed, all of us had triumphant smiles on our faces.
Our principal was so happy that he offered us a mini-buffet at the school canteen. I hope you can share in my happiness. Write and tell me what you have done these few months.
Yours,
Chris

I was 9 years old on a soccer team in a school called Brightwood. We have a soccer game every Thursday and Brightwood was going against a school called Truesdell. I was warming up for the game and our coach was giving a speech about our tactics for winning the game and not losing focus of the game. My coach said “today is not the day to be a star, but to play as one”. Most of the players weren't focused on my coach's speech. I heard what the coach had said, but I had my own plans, I felt excited l that this will be the game I can prove that I am a someone.…

I can only image how difficult it is for educators and parents to demand respectful behavior (from students and children), amidst the normalization of disrespectful behavior. For that reason, I am unfortunate that my kids are adults now; thank goodness! Today, raising responsible and respectful children is so much harder due to other influences besides classmates.…
