On the 13th of October 2015, Pt England School had Athletics Day. There were 4 Teams which were Hokule’a, Hinemoana, Te Aurere and Hikianalia. I was in Hikianalia Go Yellow! “Okay Girls Let's move on to the next activity” said Ms Hockley. It was time for High Jump. I was walking with my friends whispering to them saying "I won’t make it, because I have short legs."
“Don’t worry at least you will give it ago and you tried your best” replied my friend. Miss King was telling us the instructions and we went off. There was 1 mat that was for the people that will just be doing it for fun and the other mat will be for people who wanted to come 1st 2nd or 3rd.
I couldn’t decide which one I would go to so I said “I am going to go on the Fun Mat” but because Miss King wanted me to go I didn't want to because it went higher and higher but I won’t make it. So It was my turn on the fun mat, than I went running as fast as I could and wondering if I could make it “JUMP” said my friends behind me, So I jumped and YAY!!! I did it.
My Confidence was back I was standing at the back of the line yelling “Make it Higher Make it Higher.” It was much harder now. I took a deep breath when it was close to my turn. Breathing in and out. Okay I am getting ready. My face looked really serious. I ran as fast as I could. I jumped and, oh no, my foot touched the pole and there it went - it suddenly dropped at the tip of my toe. “Oh Well at least you tried your best” said my friends behind me.
Overall it was fun doing High Jump. I didn't know I could make it through the first pole. Yay!!! Later that day I was so proud of myself. Next year I am wanting to go into the High Jump Competition to come 1st, 2nd or 3rd. If I don’t, I can try another time, but I hope I will make it. That Athletics was the best Athletics I have ever had. I look forward for having another time.
