All For Glory

 What are your hobbies? What are the things driving you to your passion? What makes you happy when times are down?

For me, the answer to all of those questions is sports. Sports give me the drive to perspire and give me the drive to live life to the fullest. Ever since I was a child, I was a sporty child. I took soccer and won a few medals, and I also took up basketball, and I also won a few medals too. I also took on mountain biking and joined races. Ever since, i was built by sports, I was from the sport, and that sport was in my blood. The passion for winning came next. I was more than happy to achieve things that I thought I could not do it. Sports gave me a second life; when I play, I forget the things that bother me. Every sweat I drop to the ground is my effort paying off, and that makes me happy and satisfied. When I'm mentally tired, sports are there to catch me from the problems that pull me down.
 

Every medal gives me the drive for glory to achieve. Sports give me the energy to be who I am right now. It gives me the drive to be competitive and helps me look forward to the things that pull me down. When things are down, I play to pull me up, and when i fail, it gives me more drive to pursue the things, and when I come back, I come back stronger. To be glorious is to be stronger, to be stronger is to be the best.

They were my support system and together we’d play outside, forgetting the harshness of the world for a while. One of my greatest passions is basketball. From a young age, it captivated me. I started playing as a child, and my love for the game deepened when I turned 13. I was fully committed practicing regularly and practicing my skills. Basketball became more than just a sport. it was a way to escape my troubles, a source of joy, and a path toward discipline and teamwork. I played consistently until I was 17, and those years not only make my game more advanced  but also taught me passion to the game. Now at 18, I stand tall and consistent. I’m ambitious and focused on my future. My exp...

Do what you love to do.

Volleyball is defined as a sport where a net separates the two teams of six players. And under set rules, each side attempts to score points by putting the ball on the court of the other team. It’s basic and common knowledge, it’s a definition for everyone. But what is volleyball for me? Volleyball taught me a lot and brought me to different aspects of this world. Growing up, Basketball was my first sport and it was because of cultural and peer pressure. In a typical Filipino household, a son is expected to play basketball because this gives the father a sense of achievement and it ensures a father-son bonding for a life time. I was able to reach “Inter-Barangay” levels of leagues when I was still playing but a specific moment ignited my love for Volleyball. One cloudy afternoon, I was having a moment for myself in a multipurpose court in our local barangay.  At that time, I was watching strangers play Volleyball and I felt a spark in my heart and eyes that I never experienced in p...
