When my legs don't work like it used to be. Date: March 30,2022 Author: Sequoia Playing surely has been part of being a kid. You can't restrict kids from playing. In fact, they should really spend time in playing in order to enjoy their childhood. With that being said, it just simply implies that ever since we are younger, we are already aware about the skills that we have or what part of our body is much stronger. Back then, I have already observed that I can usually ace the type of games that allows me to use my legs rather than the other parts of my body-needless to say my brain. If you are a kid that is born in the Philippines, specifically in mindanao, I am certain that you are familiar with patintero, piko, tumbang preso , tagu-taguan, luksong baka and the famous chasing game or what we called, habul-habulan. Believe me or not, I always ace all of those games. Aside from that, I also like challenging my friends or classmates to race with me. I always went crazy everytime we talk about games that mostly includes the participation of the bottom part of my body. It always hypes me up and makes me jump with too much excitement. On the other hand, games that mostly need the usage of brain is my weakness. I mean, games are supposed to be fun and not stressing, right? Lol. So yeah, since you already know the type of games that I prefer, please allow me to disclose to you all the sports that I chose to involved myself with, during my primary and secondary years. But before that, I would like to thank @JustMaryel for giving me this idea through her article. If you wish to read her piece, don't hesitate to spank me! https://read.cash/@JustMaryel/never-have-i-ever-part-ii-school-edition-9b2176c6 ________________________ **Taekwando** This was actually the first sport that I joined in during my elementary years. I envy those kids who can do karate or defend themselves that time. Therefore, I decided to try it and luckily, I was able to pass the screening. However, I still need to undergo sparring stage (fight with other applicants) before I can finally become a member of the Taekwando team. When it was almost my turn, I ran away and never came back HAHAHAHA. I don't wanna become somebody's punching and kicking bag, for pete's sake.

**Running/Race** I always love running ever since. I like competing with other kids in this game and test how fast I can ran. With that being said, when our adviser that time asked me if I would like to join the track and field team, I agreed immediately. I competed with other applicants and won the first place. I am so happy that very moment. However, my mom didn't allow me to join the division competition. Huhu. I am forced to stop and I really got mad with my mom that time. Anyways, this happened during my elementary years still.

**Futsal Game** I am in my secondary level this time and for those who aren't aware with this sport, it is a basically a soccer game played indoor and specifically for women. I started to developed love towards kicking and playing ball with my feet this time. Therefore, when I learned about this sport, I immediately joined and luckily became the captain of the futsal team. Well, I am not really good that time, it just happened that the game was new to all of us and no one shows interest into it but me. Thankfully, I was able to form a team and compete with other schools. Unfortunately, we always got the second place only. Despite of that, I am still happy with those experiences.
