A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed..
A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed..
Guess what guys! Today is the most happiest and triumphant day of my life. Right now, I feel like I am at the top of the world and I am just so exhilerated that I just want to share it out with you guys. I have finally achieved what I have been dreaming about since young- to be able to juggle a soccer ball. You know all those people who juggle football along with music blasting at the background on the streets? Yes, thats the kind of juggling.Since young, I have always been keen to learn how to juggle the ball. I was first introduced into this world of juggling by my brother. He was one day watching all these football things on youtube and clicked on a video of a bunch of proffesional street jugglers. He then all of a sudden called out to me, '' Bro! Bro! Come and take a look this!'' '' Now what? Just when it is at the climate of the movie he has to call me out.'' I thought to myself. At that moment, my eyes were glued onto the television. I was watching a DVD that my friend lended me titled, ''the spy next door'' and it was at the climate of the movie and my brother had to call me out, breaking the tension and thrill that was taking the better of me. '' Hurry! Its really great!'' he urged. I then got up and walked to him, saying, '' Whats the fuss all about?'' ''Look! Look!'' he said urgently, pointing at the computer screen. I looked at the screen and there it was, a bunch of jugglers juggling a ball. My eyes sparkled as my jaw fell fell open in admiration. Guess the term, ''first impression is the most important is the best'' is true after all.
With those cool and style juggling and those music playing in the background as they juggled, everything looked so COOL and PERFECT. So that was when I started yearning to learn how to do that. Everday, I would try to learn how to do it and would picture myself doing that kind of proffesional juggling in front of my friends in my mind. How cool I would look in front of my friends and imagine what they might think of me. Everytime I come back from school, The first thing I do is not homework but go onto computer and watch them to do that. I just get the fun out of watching them do those juggling and I would imitate their moves along with them. I just long yearn that I just one day do that and that day was today.I was just doing my usual search on youtube, typing all possible stuff like, ''how to juggle'' , ''street juggling'' and so on on the search bar but after searching for a perfect video which would teach me how to juggle for what seemed like eternity, my effort was fultile. Just as I was going to give up hope about finding it, my eyes chanced upon a video titled ''perfect guide to good street juggling''. ''This could be a good one,'' I thought to myself as I clicked onto the video. A man popped out on the screen, giving me a little shock. Soon, the man in the video started talking about street juggling and I found myself listening attentively as he talked. Finally, he came to the part which I have been searching for ages- tips to how to jugger a soccer ball. So step by step, using words followed by personal demonstration, they brought me through the whole process.
With trial and error, I pushed myself beyond my limit, trying my best to imitate that person as he did. However, the ball kept dropping off my leg. However, as the saying goes, ''success does not come without hard work'', so that was what I did, with my determination, I pushed on despite the number of countless times I failed. Guess What! With beads of perspiration trickling down my head, I soon got the hang of it.Yes!!! Finally, I can do it. Wait till I show it off to my friends!
