Yesterday, during our physical  education lesson in the morning, we did high jumps.There was not enought time for the entire class to do the high jumps so students between register numbers of 1 to 20 did the high jumps while the other 20 students were instructed to play floorball in the tennis court. He got us to carry several thick mats and the high jump equipment into the floorball court, then he layed out some cones on the floor to show the path we had to run before we made the jump. After this he showed us the proper technique of executing the jump. Soon after we were lined up to make the jump, each of us had 3 tries to try and make the jump.When it was my turn to jump i felt very nervous as i have been seeing many students in front of me fail the jump, when i made the jump, a flood of relief swept over me, however, only about half of the clas managed to pass.
     Now the teacher raised the height of the bar drastically, and as before, everyone was given 3 tries to try and make the jump. As most of the students failed, i was sure i would too, nevertheless i still managed to pass the jump, i felt a great sense of pride as everyone clapped and cheered because i was the first person to complete the jump. After everyone had their 3 tries but there were only 3 students who passed, Ang Zhi Jun (4), Damien Choo (10) and myself.
     Now the height of the bar was raised even more! I looked at the bar and thought, impossible! Only the other 2 students and i were allowed to tryout for this jump. All of us failed our first try miserably and after the second trial Damien had managed to make the jump. After me and Zhi Jun failed our 3rd try i gave up all hope, but then the teacher gave the both of us one more try. When i took the jump i was sure i would hit the bar, and as i suspected, i did, yet when i hit the bar, it just shook a little. As it shook i was waiting for it to fall, despite that it did not fall! I was jumping with joy. I really enjoy this sport and hope that we would do this more often during our physical education class.
