I chose badminton because first of all there are a lot of reasons badminton is so important for me. First of all in my hardest time, which is beginning of middle school. I had gym and it was like so hard for me, I did not have friends that is why I was so alone. I was looking for friends but I didn't speak English at all. Then one day my teacher said we are going to play badminton. I did not know what it was. Then we started to play and I don't know why but I was playing really good and I felt so happy because at least I was good at something. The other days we kept playing, almost everyone lost to me. I felt proud with myself and I started to play more and more. I realize that was healing my wounds, I forgot all my problems when I played badminton. I feel so great and I know that it has improved me so much. Now I start to go badminton course after school, It's so much fun and I make new friends. That was the best decision in my life and I know that there is a special vineyard between me and badminton. That is the sport in my life. I will always love to play badminton.
