Athletics Day
I was waiting in line for the long jump at my schools athletics day. I could here everyone talking around me. I felt nervous, as though I didn’t know what I was doing. I could feel the hot sun on my neck. The person in front of me ran and jumped, they did very well. That made my stomach churn even more. The teachers finished raking the sand out and I ran. It was a short run but I still felt the breeze run through my hair. I passed over the jumping pad. It felt like sandpaper on my feet. And then I jumped, my feet hit the sand, it was soft and warm. The second I stepped on the grass I got an instant shock from my toes to my knees. I went to sit down on the grass. They asked if I wanted to jump again. I definitely said no because I did not want to do that again. It wasn’t the best feeling in the world but I guess it was worth the house point.
