Nowadays, there is an increasing number of people who are
becoming more sedentary. One of the most influential factors is the development
of technology; for instance, computers, tablets, and cellphones. People prefer
communicating via Facebook or emailing instead of visiting others. Even my
parents sometimes would take their cellphones or ipads while having meals with
me. This fact shows how different technology devices became a part of humans’
life. However, I am more physical than sedentary. I enjoy playing a variety of
sports and appreciate other professional athletes. Also, I’m trying to affect
my friends to be more physical.
I don’t
think being sedentary is negative at all. Sedentary people have more time to
reflect themselves, can be more concentrated on studying, and tend to be more
calmed. Normally, these people are considered as knowledgeable. Nevertheless,
being physical is more attractive for me as a teenager. I believe teenagers
should be more active and somehow good at sports in order to become well
rounded.
As an athletic person, a surprise just elated me this week. Having
wanted to play for either basketball team or soccer team, I appeared on the
last day of try out for the soccer team and only played for 20 minutes. Surprisingly,
the next day when I wen to check the list, I was on it. Because of the experience
of being physical and active, I could play all kinds of sports. As a result, I
will be on the school soccer team this year. People might say that’s unfair for
the other people, but I am more committed to be a more physical person by
working out since 2 years ago, play sports so frequently, and of course love
sports.
Also, basketball is my power to go
forward not backward. It’s as motivating as lectures, which can encourage people
to be better and never give up. I’ve been playing basketball for at least 5
years, and I’m proud enough to say that it changed me a lot. I used to be a sedentary
kid until I started to play basketball. For one reason, there are many benefits
to play basketball, for example, it taught me how to build teamwork and motive
my teammates. Once, many teammates were so frustrated since we lost all of the
games. I chose to stand out to ensure they could still be positive and play
good games for our reputations.
Although our society is on the way
towards less physical, I still believe a few people can bring back our physical
world, where teenagers love to go out and do sports. I’m proud of being
physical.
