Say I'm acting humble, I'm trying to conceal my 'arrogance'...
But really, the Gold medal doesn't mean much to me. Like some who shared with me and our hockey team last year, the medals don't mean a thing in the end. I mean, what's to say, in 5-10 years time, I'll look at the medal and think it's just another piece of metal collecting dust in some corner of the house? What about the (late) media coverage? It really doesn't mean much to me.
What I really do take pride and feel really happy about is the intangible stuff. The great memories, the wonderful moments, the immense honour of being able to compete alongside my wonderful, supportive teammates. What's more, helping make so many people happy, the supporters in the stands, even though for awhile... Those who have given me so much support and care. I mean, this is really all that matters to me. Bringing the school glory, serving SA so well. Repaying the faith the teachers and coach put in me. Just giving me the opportunity when they could so easily not have given.
I may sound altruistic. But yah, I'm kinda sincere with this. Well, why am I even reasoning...
