This I Believe

Goals. Goals are like the top shelf, you start at the bottom and work your way up until you reach your final destination. My Goal is to be the best rugby player I can possibly be. It all started when I first picked up a rugby ball and I remembered my AFL days and how I wanted to play for my favourite team ‘Carlton.’ It was a dream that would never be fulfilled because frankly, I wasn’t that good at AFL. But, when I picked up and examined the rugby ball that felt so right in the palm of my hand, I felt the feeling where all you know is that’s what you want to do with your life, a goal that needs to be reached. That is a goal that I know that is my destiny to fulfil. So, I started training. I joined a rugby club by the name of ‘Bintang.’ At first it was really hard because I had been out of action for about three months. The fitness that was required was almost impossible for me to handle but after I got used to it, I was on top of my game. My goal is not an impossible one for me to do. I keep my intense training up and I keep my fitness up to standard, so I think that if I continue to work hard, then my goal is right in front of me, waiting for me to reach out and grab it. Many rugby players start at a young age and have the same goal as id. They don’t stop until they become famous rugby players and represent there country by playing against other countries team. All of these examples just prove that no goal is impossible to achieve. I can become a big shot rugby player if I want. I just have to work as hard as I possibly can.

Game Questions

1. The game is about the 1066 wars. You play as each one of the countries and try and fight your arm to victory. You use your men as good as you possibly can whether your playing as archers, kings-men, knights or spearers. The snatch victory from your opponents, all you have to do is kill everyone of there men.
2. I enjoyed having to plan ahead and decide what moves to use against the opposite country. It was fun to decide who to play whether it is shoot arrows with your archers charge forward with your spears or have a one on one fight with the other countries kings-man.
3. I learned that to be in a war, you always need a war plan that is one step in front of your opponents.
4. The English had just walked for miles at a day. Very tiered and sore, they approached home to find it was being invaded by William. The English sprang into action. Running to the top of the hill, the formed a shield wall so that the French would not get any further. Seeing that the French were loosing, a very clever knight called “the king is dead.” Everyone retreated. Expecting to see sorrow, the French were taken aback to find out that the whole thing was a hoax. With the English confused, the French charged back up and shattered what was left of the English. The ending of the battle came when King Harold G got hit in the eye by an arrow and died shortly afterwards. The crown was given to the new man in charge… King William.
5. The game is fun and people tend to learn more if they are having fun. I think we should do mire of these kinds of things.
