Determination - Avni Kochhar

Hello everyone, I am Avni Kochhar, and today, I will be sharing my determination experience.

A few people tend to just do their work for the sake of doing it, and then they think they showed a lot of Determination in that work. But when people do their job and put their whole mind and heart into doing it, that is Determination.

I was so excited that I would be playing in my very first basketball tournament! When I got there with my teammates, the match hadn't yet begun. It started almost an hour later, and our chance came three hours later. Now I knew this opportunity to go to a tournament was very rare, so when we went into the court, we found the other team was older than us in experience and age. We started playing, and each and every one of my teammates fell on the court, including me. We lost, But I didn't give up. I kept playing basketball for 2 years and then finally I got the chance! I participated in another tournament and actually won!

Thank you

Friendship - Asmi Patankar

Friendship is the real fantasy. Not everyone has a friend but deserves to have one or more. A friend is like a partner in crime from everyone’s viewpoint. You can’t choose who you are, but you can pick your friends. Finding a perfect friend is like a scavenger hunt sometimes, but it is always worth it. After all, there are friends, and there is a family, and there are friends who become family.

Friendship - Paavni Gupta

Friendship is just not shaking hands and saying, "will you be my friend ".Friendship is to help, stay together, play together and support each other. For some people, friendship is just for their advantage. I had one friend who used to play with me only because I had many toys, lovely jewellery and many more things. She used to come to my home and start taking out my items. I told her not to do it. She went home and stopped talking to me. Then I made another friend who did become my friend, not because of the things I had but because I was friendly and polite to her. 

Friendship is essential for us. We always should be friends because of our personality, not because of our things.
