"Insist! Insist! I can hold on for five minutes" I thought. The game is played like this: arms up, forming a right angle 90 째 with the body. The two hands intersect and a pen is put on the wrist. Reverse Umbrella All the persons should not let the pen falling off the wrist within five minutes. The person who could insist to the end would be the winner.


The race started. We divided into two teams, a team of boys, a team of girls. One minute later, everybody felt nothing. I secretly thought, so simple ah!

Three minutes later, everyone moaned and groaned. There were only two persons left for both the boys team and girls team. My arms so ached and I really wanted to put down my arms! But those female students were looking at me with the hopeful eyes. I told myself, I must stick with it and could not let them down.


"The last minitue", the teacher shouted excitedly. I looked around, only one person left for both teams. My eyes blurred with the tears. Just when I wanted to give up, I suddenly heard a voice full of excting cheering. I tried to open my eyes, watching the fuzzy but familiar figures constantly waving their small arms, as if to form the characters "Hold on! Hold on! ". I knew that they want to tell me," must hold ". I kept in my heart to pump myself up, trying to struggle myself out of the ideas to give up.


"Yes! We won! We won!" with the cries of great excitement, I finally held on to the end, struggling to put down the arms that already ached heavily.


During the study or the life, whenever I want to give up or shrink back, I could think of the experience that obtained in that game and I would constantly remind myself, insist, insist, insist! Do not worry about the next moment. If we could persist this monment and overcome the difficulty, we finally would be able to be successful and be happy to enjoy the fun of growing up.
