My long-jump history

<My long-jump history>

@Rachel's blog, there was a comment about long-jumps. Today, even though I didn't do it at school, I will tell you my 4th grade record.

You might not know that I like sports as well as math. I like sports. But not a body for sports. I am the second-smallest person in my class. My height is only 143cm: very short for a 5th grader. I know that I am smaller than my other friends who are over 150cm, except for Sarah(or is it?).

When I was a 4th grader, I was about 138cm. Then, in my sports academy, we did long-jump. It was my first time to do a long-jump, and there was a girl a bit taller and bigger than me. Plus, my teacher had a deal on. We had a contest, and the person who jumped the most gets a watch. I tried my best to learn and jump. I though I couldn't jump more than the girl. However, I was wrong. Because my mom was good at long-jump, I was good at it, too. When I just jumped in a line(still-jump), I jumped 165 cm. Also, my teacher did a run-jump thing. The other girl jumped 195cm, I guess, and she though I couldn't beat her. Well, guess what? I jumped 2m and 40cm! I got the watch. The girl was like 'Ahh, I could have won!' That day, I learned a moral: sometimes, it's good to believe in yourself rather than the competition. The day after, my leg hurt so much. Boooo!!!!

↓That picture is my watch got from the academy. But I realized something after I got it. The watch was to big on the wrist for me! I think I have to give it to someone.
