"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!

Complete the call-outs:
A.1)

Our world is an institution
Of environmental pollution
We choose not to care
For our future generations
And I for one am guilty
For buying the hundreds of electronic gadgets
That attracts the industries to produce like maggots
environmental pollution is at the heart of our planet
The forests are dying
Wildlife is crying
Millions of fish are dying
Mother earth is sighing
Tell me is it right
That we sleep well at night
Replenishing ourselves
For tomorrow’s greedy fight
Overcrowded trains
Overloaded brains
Where is the light? What is our plight?
While the river break their banks
And greedy industries play their polluted pranks.
