Me and Badminton

By: Oktaviani

Everyone surely has something they like. Some people might like sports. One example is myself. Do you want to know what sport I like? Of course, it is badminton.

I have liked playing badminton since junior high school. At first, I only followed my friends because they invited me to play badminton together. From that moment, I felt, “wow, playing badminton is really fun.” Even though at the beginning I couldn’t really hit the shuttlecock and I didn’t understand the rules of the game. But as time went by, because I played badminton regularly, I started to understand the rules and of course I became able to hit the shuttlecock well.

There are many reasons why I like playing badminton. One of them is because playing badminton makes me have more friends. Before I played badminton, I didn’t really have many relationships with others, but after I started playing badminton, I got more friends. For example, I have friends from different classes. At first, we never talked to each other, but since we played badminton together, we started talking and even went out to eat together. Now we are very close friends.

The second reason I like badminton is because when I play badminton, I feel very happy. Badminton has a special place in my heart. I feel happy when I sweat from playing badminton.

Besides making me happy, I think playing badminton is also very healthy for our bodies because it makes our heart stronger. We also become more agile because we are used to catching the shuttlecock.

So, based on what I have shared, I can conclude that I really like badminton. It makes my mood better, increases my friendships, and makes my body stronger. My advice is to start finding your own hobby because it can make your body healthy and keep your mind in a good condition.
