"A Tough Decision: Giving Up on My Sports Dream"

Hey friend, let me tell you about a time I had to give up on something I really loved. Back in high school, I was on the basketball team. I absolutely loved playing, practicing with my teammates, and the thrill of every game. But as time went on, things got tougher to manage.

You see, I was also doing really well in my academics and had signed up for a bunch of extracurricular activities. Suddenly, my plate was too full—there were too many late-night study sessions and long practice hours. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggled to keep up with everything.

I knew I had to make a choice. As much as I loved basketball, I decided to step away from the team so I could focus on my studies and other priorities. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. My heart ached when I watched my friends play without me, and there were moments I second-guessed myself.

But looking back now, I think it was the right decision. It allowed me to achieve some important goals, though it was tough to give up something that brought me so much joy. Life is full of difficult choices, but I think every decision helps us learn and grow.

So, have you ever had to let go of something good? I'd love to hear your story too!

Read the passage three times and colour a dustbin each time.

I am Mani. I had to take a bus to nearby city. I crossed the road to reach the bus stand. I got the bus, sat down, and read a book. Before I started to read, I just looked at the people around me. The two men sitting next to me were talking loudly. Some were listening to music on their phone. I was unable to focus on reading. The men were talking about cleaning the city. As they were talking, they opened a pack of biscuits to eat. After some time I dozed off. When I opened my eyes, the bus had reached the city. The two men were not there but pieces of the biscuits and wrappers were there. I cleaned the wrappers and put them in the dustbin.
