Personal Sustainability
I have been playing badminton for over 6 years with over 2 years of training. Having to drop it when I moved to my middle school, I became motivated to pick it up again in high school. Despite occasionally playing in the past years, I still found it hard to do baseline shots, especially lobbing as I often over or underestimate the back line. It still took me several weeks to get used to the moves and the court again.
The longer I had been at UWC, the more serious classes became, eventually reaching the point that it had dominated most of my time. At the end of my first semester, I realized that exercises played an important role in reducing my stress and keeping me distracted from the amount of work at hand. Though, whenever I was overloaded with work, I tended to prioritize finishing them before my own health. Realizing this tendency, I joined the physical fitness ExEd to push myself into regularly going to the gym.
