SPORTS MEETING DAY; 100 METERS RACE 10.9 SECONDS

Hello lovelies!

Hope you all are awesome. I made a post earlier  YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK. I wrote about how I was able to run a 3000 meters race during my practice. 

The sports event was 20/05/2016 it is called sport meeting. College of international education competes against the Chinese students. I ran my 3000 meters race and a 10 boys 10 girls relay race whereby a boy runs 300 meters and passes the baton to girl to run 100 and she passes to the next boy. They were both awesome races which we finished second place.

 

At the end of the program, the college of international education finished second place overall out of 11 school teams which was better that last year that was sixth place.

Oh Yes! One of our very own, a  Nigerian athlete broke to schools record of 100meters by running 10.9 seconds which makes him the fastest man in the school. That is so awesome. You can see him wearing the Nigerian jersey. 

It was a very beautiful event on a very sunny day that made us all darker ut it was worth it. I had a Subungual Hematoma (black toe nail) a collection of blood underneath the toe nail. Still hoping it heals fast.

I have really been craving pasta I had to go treat myself to it. I sat in a wet taxi which dirtied my pants but luckily I had my veil to tie around my waist.

On our way the 7^th floor, we saw a group of Chinese gathered and decided to check it out. There was a kissing completion going on. 20^th May when translated to Chinese is like their valentine’s day. 

The host of the show saw foreigners and was inviting us to join the kissing competition. We just ran away.

In summary, it was a very awesome day I am really happy I participated in the sports meeting and a big thank you to my bestie that pushed me to participate.

They school plans to organize a dinner and an award ceremony for us, I’ll keep you all updated about that.

 As some of you know, I am contesting for Miss African union in my school which is on 25^th may. I’ll keep you all updated about that too so subscribe to my Email list to be updated about my posts.

STYLE POST; A WALK IN THE PARK

Hello!

Today the pictures are going to do most of the talking. I have been in china for over a year and this is my first time going to an amusement park. It was a triple date and I had so much fun. I didn't take much pictures of the park because I was more interested in myself.   The park is called "Linghe Park" or that’s the best way to write it for you to understand. 

White was the colour of the day because it was a hot afternoon.

Thanks for reading!

MOTIVATION: YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK

Is there something you think you can’t do because you are insecure about your body, your academics, you think others are better than you or there is someone in your life currently discouraging you from taking that big step or decision that may change your life for good? It may be a friend, a family member, a teacher or even a stranger laughing at you from afar.

Guess what?

A lot of great things that have happened today would never have been if people just sat down and thought they would never make it or if people had listened to the discouraging voice of others.

 It was possible for a black man to be the president of the United States of America.

It was possible for man to walk on the moon.

If Alibaba had given up after he was rejected by KFC, there would be know Ali express, Ali pay and others.

People may want you to be successful but not more successful than they are. When they realize you have an opportunity to be better than they are, they start discouraging you.

Some things may actually look impossible when you have not tried so lots of people discourage you saying not to waste your time but when you start, you will gradually see progress.

 That is the difference between the rich and poor, those at the top and those below. The people you listen to! Are you listening to the “you will not be able to do it”? The people you listen to play an important role in your life. Let that discouraging voice be your motivation to move on.

The school’s sport coach was looking for females to run 3000 meters race in my school and my best friend nominated me unconditionally because he believed in me. I am not one to look down on myself but I had  never thought of doing that in my life. I ran 400 meters maximum when I was younger but I felt I added a lot of weight and I stopped running.

I told him I wasn't sure I could do it and I had only run once on a standard track. He said it wasn't a problem I could try and if I could only run round once, it was fine.

I doubted myself but I didn't cancel my name off the list. I felt I would be able to run 800 meters and stop.

I told no one about my decision to run because I didn't want any opinion but mine. I watched some YouTube videos about long distance races and motivated myself.

Yesterday I got to the field for my first practice and I started running. I was amazed by what my body was doing. I ran, jogged, walked but I never stopped. I just kept moving until I realised I had run 3000 meters.

Before I started, I thought it was going to be impossible but as I started and ran every lap, I was motivated to move further. I ran 19 minutes. I know it is long but making the first move to go to that field and conquer my fear filled me with joy and the desire to practice more and run for a shorter time next time.

Not everyone has that one friend that will put their names on the list and motivate them to make an effort but you have yourself. Practising will never make you worse so put yourself on that list and make an effort.

You can do more than you think you can!
