Short Story Taken From My Life | Sports Edition by @padmore

Hello everyone on the steemit block chain, especially my friends in Bangladesh. I am very happy for this contest and say a very big thanks to @abuahmad for such a wonderful contest. Many people have got their own experience in sports, some are still participating actively, and others have also left for good. The short story below is about myself and it's a true life story.

Used to be the goalkeeper of my football team, "Fifa All Stars", when I was 9 years old and by then I was in primary class one. I was not only a goalkeeper, but a celebrated goalkeeper among all the other junior teams. I was awarded on several occasions by my Coach and other important personalities, based on my outstanding performance. I have saved my team from many loses.
Aside being a football goalkeeper, I was also blessed with an athlete. I used to participate in almost all the athletic activities such as, running, triple jump, long jump, high jump, and others. I was always privileged to be part of these activities because of of my tall height and the way was fast. We have win a lot of trophies and medals, during my time. Yet still, I go to the field to watch my team do training and anytime they have match, I am always present to give my maximum support.

I used to participate actively in sports untill I fell very ill, when I was in primary class four. I became very lean and lost a lot of energy and weight. I was admitted in the Tamale Teaching Hospital for an operation, I was there for about two weeks before I was attended to. I was diagnosed to be suffering from appendicitis. After the operation, I was seriously warned not to participate in any tidious work, and what really worried and made me sad was, when they said I quit from all sporting activities, as they can lead to serious problem to my system, especially the operated area which is around my abdomen, as you can see in the picture below.

Since I was discharged from the hospital and I went back to Wa in 2009 till now, I have never taken part in any sporting activity any longer, that marks the end of my sports life. What I do to keep my body fit and active is to go to the gym and do some little stretches.

In conclusion, I advise those who don't have any health problems and yet will not do any exercise, to try their maximum best and start. Exercising the prevents a lot of health problems, such as, heart attack, stroke, it brings about smooth flow of blood, and brings good health of mind.
