I am racing. I feel nervous and scared because I want to win and not lose. There was a time when I felt scared because most swimmers were faster than me. Now I am one of the fastest swimmers.
Every time I race, I try the best I can, and I am always proud of my results. Racing is good because it makes me feel confident and strong. It also helps me in other sports too like basketball and soccer because I’m not afraid.
Another reason why I want to win is that I really want a medal and a trophy. I want to show my mom and dad so they can be proud and happy which makes me happy too. My mom is always there for me when I am racing. She watches me when I race and waits until I finish racing. Sometimes she waits for more than 10 hours. When I practice, she waits for 2 hours, and I practice 5 days a week.
My goal is to be the best swimmer in Thailand. I feel the most confident in swimming because I started when I was five. Now, I am ten years old. I practice 2 hours a day. One day I want to swim in the Olympics and represent Thailand.
It is ok if I lose, I can win next time. I don’t think about the losses, I only think about the wins. I am confident in every swim race because I practice a lot and work hard.
