Yellow/Gold

This year's Intramural is probably my best yet - after all, we were the CHAMPIONS. How exciting it is to recap everything that happened - all the preparations, to-die-for practices and mashed up so-called 'everythings'. Everything was like a blur, for time moved as fast as it can. Looking back, I found my former Intramural experiences rather touching and heart-warming. Yes, I perfectly don't remember everything I did during those times but I assure my life would not be the same without it.

This year, I belonged to the Manasseh tribe - one of the tribes of Israel. At first, I was apprehensive about it. I looked blankly at my fellow tribe members and thought, "Will this work?" I was totally unsure of myself, seeing everyone from different backgrounds and perspectives.

This Intramural opened different doors for me. I was a leader of the "back-drop" or "back-droppers" as what we call ourselves. I'm a really shy person, but once I get to cut loose myself, I became someone else. It wasn't easy, feeling all the pressure and stares running after you. BUT. I realized I can be a good leader after all. I enjoyed it and I made new acquaintances. Also, I finally came to my senses to realize how lucky I am to have a talent in acting. I joined the Litmus competition and was part of my tribe's Cooperative Storytelling. How fun it is to practice just 2 days before the final presentation! I felt good inside, to do something for my team. Eventhough we lost in scrabble, I learned to accept defeat. Of course, it was hard to swallow at first but in the end, I guess it wasn't just for us. Lastly, the perfect direction to end another mind-blowing activity is by walking that precious winning streak.

Guess what? We did.
