My Prized Possession

I have been playing table tennis for almost half of my life. I love this sport and I can’t help myself to love it more. I’m very much thankful to my table tennis racket for sticking with me through ups and downs. I am so attached to my racket that I can’t play well if I’m not using it. I treated my racket as my partner. Every time I compete, I always see to it that my racket is in good condition.

No matter what will be the results of the game, I always feel good and thankful to my racket for helping me survived till then end of the game.

My team mates always complain that I am so selfish for not letting them borrow my racket but I don’t mind them. What’s important is I’m taking care of my racket and I don’t want someone to destroy it. We have been together since I started playing. I skipped my meals and deprived myself of buying new things just to save my money so I can buy my racket. It is so important to me and I will stick to it until my last game. 

My Favorite Childhood Toy

I had a doll named Pollyanna. It used to be my aunt’s doll but she gave to my older sisters as a hand-me-down toy. As my sisters grew older, they had outgrown Pollyanna and they gave it to me. Pollyanna and I became inseparable ever since. She was my only companion.

She is made from plastic, about 2 feet long, blinking eyes, and an angelic face. My mother made her some dresses and I often changed her clothes and brushed her hair. Every time I had my tantrums, I smashed her and throw her on the wall. Since she is made from plastic, the only damaged I done to her was making her eyes bulged out.

My sisters got angry at me for my recklessness and threatened me that they would take her back. They always reminded me to take care of Pollyanna the way they take care of her. Since then, I always take care of her and made sure she is in good condition.
