Smartness and Physical education

The time we spend in our school life is called the golden time and everyone wants to go back to that time again and again. We know that it's impossible to go back in that time and maybe for that reason we miss our school time and remember those moments we spent in school as memories. It's not necessary that the memories need to be beautiful to remember. I also have memories and some memories are related to physical education also. So today I am here to share about it.

As well as I can remember two times a week I need to face a physical education class. The two days were specific but I can't actually remember which two days. In that specific two days, we all need to stay in the school field for doing exercise as well as for practical knowledge of physical education. One character comes automatically with PE class was our PE teacher. He used to come with a whistle and a long stick. I can understand the work of a whistle but it's still a mystery why the PE teacher came with a stick because I have never seen him using it. Maybe it gives him the teacher types vibes or anything else who knows 😅.

PE teacher gave all the instructions and shows how to do the exercise at first and after that, we need to do how he did. And several kinds of exercise we used to do. Many funny things happened at the time when we practice the exercise. Some students can't do it easily and their failure and body posture made us laugh. I think it's not wrong to laugh because it's also good and we were not mature at that time.
As well as I can remember the class occurred for 45 minutes and I love to do the class very much. You might be thinking that I love to exercise and because of that I like it, then you are wrong 👻. I love to do that class because it was the class where I could get rid of textual books and that gave me a feeling of freedom. Besides, at the time, I don't have any knowledge of how important physical exercise is.

Our school used to arrange several sports which were part of the physical exercise class. Football, racing, long jump, high jump several kinds of sports were included there. Let me share one memorable incident I encountered at that time.

The 100 m race is one of the most common and easy ones and almost all of us used to participate in a 100 m race. I was not different so I also took part there. Our school field was huge and almost more than 60 participants were there with me. According to the PE teacher's instructions, he would say ready, 1,2,3 then whistle. After sharing the whistle we needed to start running and I was clear about the instructions. I was confident that somehow I would be able to enter the top 10 and if possible in the top 5. So all the participants stayed in a row and the teachers said to take the position to start running. The teacher said 1,2,3 and then a little gap and everyone (including me) started to run 😅 but the teacher didn't whistle so everyone was disqualified and we again stayed in the beginning line. No one expected the whistle joke from the teacher at that time because everyone was serious. Whatever it made us laugh 🤣🤣. So again the teacher said 1, 2, 3, and a little gap. Then everyone started running again except me because I was only focusing on the whistle and I was confident I didn't hear the sound of the whistle 😅. So when everyone started to run I realized all of them were deceived for the second time by the PE teacher and I was smiling thinking that 🤣.

But but but it's not the end. This time the teacher didn't stop others running which surprised me. I was looking at my teacher and saying why he didn't stop others because everyone was disqualified 🤔 with a smiling face. I felt very funny because I am the only one who was smart and stayed in the line when others were running and trying to get a position. Nobody was as smart as me. But I became shocked when the PE teacher said he whistled and everyone was qualified. Which means I was the only one who didn't cross the beginning line 🤣. I don't know how I missed the sound of the whistle but that feeling gave me one kind of humiliation and others were laughing at me & after that time I never participated in any kind of sports. Believe it or not, it's the truth. Maybe I was a little bit egoistic.

The lesson I learned from that incident was we should never be overconfident because it can also bring humiliation which I received at that time. Currently, I think it was funny but at that time it was humiliating for me, and as I said for that reason after that time I never participated in any kind of sports.
