Studying and Sporting

        At the weekend, stadium is my second, or temporary, school. Sporting has been part of my life and partner to my studying programs. Just 2 hours – at least - of exercising a day is being considered as my habits. There is an increasing figure of young people do sports and I am one of them. As being of those who favour sports as routines, I would like to share some ideas of how studying and sporting go together. This essay will illustrate the mutual effects between these two elements of life.

            The first and primary consideration of sporting is for health, both physically and mentally. As for physic health, there is no doubt that sporting can provide extensive inner side improvement and stability. Being at teenage means period of body’s biologically flourishing through times. Thus, having sport accompanies is an absolute advantage. While sporting will helps shape your appearance, it also controls the growing of inner parts of body such as brain and muscle. For students, having a healthy brain is a must. Consequently, students should schedule times for playing sports as much as they themselves can provide. To sum up, better physical health stability and growth lay within sporting.

            While physical health is the most concern people care about, mental health is also essential. People do not want to be referred to, or having, abnormal states of mind. Those negativities can be psychopath, forgetfulness, insanity and many other references. For students, as they still live their early life, these formidable experiences are undesired. Advisably, to keep their state of mind as good as it is, sport is the key, not only to maintain their mind status, but to accomplish better mental health. Perceptibly, those above negative state of mind are mainly cause by stressful environments. A moment with sport is a moment with meditation as well. Thus, to avoid these abnormal mind statuses, students must apply themselves for sporting.

            To reinforce, mental health maintenance can be done with sporting. People do sporting in various environment, but the common place are stadium, national park, or places with the green environment. These places can provide people their mind refreshment, toxin emission and help render blood’s smooth flows. My tennis weekly-practicing really helps replenish my core concentration, as this is my personal experience, because I play this sport at a quiet and peaceful place. I can relax my mind and soul for the upcoming week. Students should at least have their mind refreshed before entering another busy week of studying. Furthermore, play sports can help improving your brain capability. As study tells, brain power relies on human’s behaviour. Forgetfulness, brain sensitivity (easy to cause headache when try hard think), limited perceptibility and the lacks of creativity all depends on the people method of maintaining their brain. Exercising does help release blood pressure inside one’s head and allow the brain to work more properly. As mentioned above, students do need strong mental health to acquire better education achievement.   

            To continue, as the provision of better health being one of the greatest advantages of doing sports, the opportunity for socialization that sporting can create also substantial. This is an intensified measure for students. Socialization for studying is a real-life practicing of daily school lesson. From simple discussion to demonstration to elaboration to illustration to cultural exchange, socialization covers all the opportunities that students seek. Sporting can be a path to this lucrative destination. As it is widely known, some sports are meant to be a team or group play. The existence of numbers of people doing one sport in one occasion is considered as the existence of opportunities and hopes. For example, football, basketball, even to individually deal game such as tennis, golf etc; does consist of more than two players. For student current life, socializing can be utilized as self-realization. This means student can cooperate with others to bring the lesson comes to real-life practice through their social network which is established upon encountering at sport facilities. A friend of mine, whom I befriend at the tennis court, helps me with some of my homework by providing his points of view. For instance, this essay is part of his helps. Hence, to conclude that students need socializing and to consider sporting is the bridge to such activities, are affirmative.

            In addition, the future also counts on the current life of sporting. As we can see, most businessman, politicians, and workers love playing sport apart of their daily jobs. There are large numbers of employed people who do sports on weekend and which can be used to support the above statement. The study tells that those who choose sports after hard works believe in its aftermath. Businessman conduct business talks after one hour or two hours of exercising. Politicians, at the golf course, chat during the progress of the game. Sporting provides people fresh and refreshed mind, which allow easy and fast thinking. Thus, having good sporting background does help students reach their goal at ease. Last of all, the relation of effective socializing and efficient sporting does influence the outcome of studying.

            In conclusion, there is a saying “study smart not study hard.” Sporting can be regarded as one way of “study smart.” Better physical and mental health, more fruitful socialization is the magnitude of sport and sporting, and in extension, studying. To oppose that sporting can result in injuries, this essay would argue that light sport is for people as young as students, as light sport has the less likelihood to both minor and long-term injuries. Sporting and studying do have mutual effect and the effect which is crucial to student’s success in their educational pursue. There is also another saying “to build a great nation, one first must build himself as great person, then build a great family, then the great society comes afterward, and finally the nation will be at its peak.” Henceforth, students must know their duty to build themselves a strong human, and again, sporting is the start.

New Year Story

          I never understand why people say “Happy New Year” and wish “Good luck to the new life and may the bad past passes away.” Maybe, it is because I have never experienced things like this or I’ve never been deep into the meaning of it. But, it is miracle which leads me to understand its reality.

            I was invited to participate a trip to Shihanouk Ville for New Year Celebration and Farewell Memorial Event (Of course, I won’t talk about it). There were more than 30 people on the bus and we set off the 31^st Dec morning at 8 am. We reached the beach “Koh Tres”, it is a new established one, not many people there, but at least that’s what I like. Peaceful sound of the sea and the rhythm of its tidal wave heal my soul the moment I visited it. The trip was intended mainly for New Year Celebration, so everyone stayed at the beach the whole day. At first, we prepare for the night-time party while some went to have their moment with the sea. Me too, I swam the sea with my friends and played various game there. Althought it is a short swimming game for me but sometimes, it is a primary things to do in Shihanouk Ville. I got up and changed cloth for the party. At about 7pm, well, me and my friends occupied a board (and I don’t know what it is for), to perform a concert. A few people watched us while some people joined the performance. That was a group performance. I and one of the friend played guitar while other sang. It was wild-like moment for me, because I could have never imagined I’d be doing stuff like that. Yes, it was some kind of crazy moment I enjoyed at the seaside. Until the mid-night, we managed a count-down and fired some small rockets for open celebration. We danced the whole night but I was too tired to continue. The atmosphere was great but at the dawn it was freezing, I had to get up to warm myself. The next day we went to the waterfall on the outskirt of Shihanouk Ville. There, we took tons of picture while, perform another concert. Everyone there were watching us of course, but who care? This is NEW YEAR and I was celebrating. Oh Man! That was amazing.

            This is why I said that now I understand the meaning of “New Year.” The minutes I spend at the beach and the waterfall, my previous year’s memory washed and my spirit refreshed. That night at the beach, I could have a clear view to the above stars, and I enjoyed watching them with hopes. The air was cool enough to calm all the hatred, the anger, the sorrow… any bad feeling. I felt myself “wake up” and “reach” a new life. I watched the sky as it turned from 2007 to 2008 and I knew that I was watching a different sky while another story now. New year has arrived and I have myself established for this new year. Sweet memory dwells in my heart and sweet dreams are hold in my head. These are the knowledge I comprehended from the trip. Happy New Year, refresh yourself and let the new year arrives in you, your inner part. Let’s the wind washed your sorrow and let’s the coolness help you relax.
