Action

SAISA basketball practices have been going good..... i made the team which was my first goal and now i'm working on the mext one which is winning the SAISA championship, by getting better everyday.

Speaking of becoming better, saturday (26th) was a tough day when we played two teams : AIS in the morning and British School in Colombo in the afternoon. The morning match was pretty tough; we lost by 18 points to AIS and in the afternoon we beat British yet we didn't play up to our fullest potential. Individually speaking, my defence lagged, which allowed them to score easy points and i gave up two unneccesary fouls.

This was a good lesson for me because it helped me realise how much i need to work on to continue playing for the team and helped me draw up another set of goals to work on namely :

Free Throw Shooting

Defence

Posting up to stronger player

Service

For my service activity, i am doing Cancer Hospital, which is located in Maharagama. I picked this activity because it is similar to mny ambition, i.e. become a doctor and it has helped me discover positive qualities that i didn't know i had. Last Thursday, we went for their exhibition and we gave out gifts to the children in the hospital, after watching them perform songs, poem and a short drama on a popular folk tale.

After the exhibition, i felt positive, as the children, who were afflicted with cancer , found something positive in their lives, and through that managed to make everyone in the hall sing along with them. This taught me that no matter what diffculties you face, there's always something positive to look forward to.
