“My passion for basketball motivates me to excel in the sport. I train with my team mates during our free time after school and have friendly matches over the weekends. Over time, our perseverance paid off as my team and I improved tremendously. In the process, I’ve come to view mistakes as opportunities to become better. This perspective has enabled me to keep pushing myself to strive for excellence in everything I do.”⁣

“I firmly believe that ‘a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor’. Two of the biggest challenges I faced on my voyage was the lack of prior experience when I joined MI and having no rulebook to follow when I had to lead my team during the pandemic. Weathering these ‘storms’ was possible because of the support from my parents, coaches, teachers and teammates. Through the process, I also learnt the importance of staying optimistic through the harshest conditions.”

“My team’s preparation for the A-Division National School Games was hit hard by the inevitable safe management measures. But it was precisely during these times that our ‘champion’ mindset shone through. We pushed on with Zoom trainings, using the cones and balls which we brought home for self-practice. I’m thankful to my coach, Mr. Robert, for instilling this mindset in me. He taught me that victory was not about defeating one’s most formidable foe or winning a much coveted accolade. It is simply a triumph over self, in particular, one’s self-imposed limitations.”
