Chapter 27 focuses on participation
In order to compete in one day, the entrance ceremony is simple, except that the athletes from each town line up around the stadium. The drum band led the way, and after a week around the field, they all came to their designated location in their town.
The teacher who led the team went to the rostrum to look at the competition schedule, and the field competition and the competition were held at the same time, and the javelin competition time was last.
I usually hear adults say that our county belongs to a large county where agriculture and forestry are combined, and I don't have so many concepts in my heart, but today I saw that it was like this, and there was a sign in front of each team, and the new white paper on the sign was just pasted, and the names of their towns were written in black bold on the white paper, and the names of these towns had long been heard.
The main people sitting in the stands were students from the county, middle schools and elementary schools, and each camp with the same school uniform had banners behind them, including three middle schools, four middle schools, five middle schools, six middle schools, and seven middle schools. Which is Elementary School?
The race started, and the location of our town was right next to the track, next to which the race was going on was the sprint. As soon as the race began, I felt what the gap was, usually in our middle school, the fastest sprinter, usually the aisle is sideways, today pulled out and competed with others, has run the preliminaries of the 100 meters 200 meters, our town did not even enter the finals. In the past, as soon as there was a competition in their middle school, they ran the preliminaries, returned to the rest area to compare, and spoke loudly, but today they were wilted like frosted eggplants, sat on the stool, set up a head, and did not say a word.
We didn't even get a hair for most of the whole morning, and we planned to get a good ranking at home, but when we arrived at the scene, we knew that the gap with others was not a little bit of a star. At the beginning, the vice principal and the dean of students comforted us, saying that friendship comes first, competition comes second, and participation is important. But in the afternoon, they sat there listlessly, several administrative levels did not reach the township, and only the township middle school still achieved some rankings more or less, although not the first.
As the competition drew to a close, and according to the schedule of the competition, it should be almost the javelin, and the physical education teacher, who usually takes us to training, walked up to me and stopped, I saw that he was sunburned and oily, and the hem of his white shirt was not tucked into the waistband of his pants like when he set off from home in the morning. I watched him come out, and hurriedly comforted him: Teacher, don't get angry, friendship first, competition second, didn't the director of education and the vice principal say just now? I heard the mineral water bottle that the PE teacher was holding in his right hand click, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out. The physical education teacher gritted his back molars and said: Boy, I heard it, you have the meaning of saying cool words, I might as well tell you that the principal did not agree that we should take out time for training alone, but it was I who persuaded the principal that before I came, I made a military order in front of the principal, and the school was already short of funds, and we also chartered a bus to buy us new sportswear. I can't get such a ranking, and I can't explain it to the principal when I go back. I can't complete the military order that I have made in front of the principal, I have no face, and I won't care about what I said in front of one of your students, I'll tell you Javelin for a while, if you can't get me back a first place, the guaranteed place for your county key high school will be cancelled. With that, he turned and left. As soon as I heard him say this, I became anxious and shouted in the back: Teacher! How can there be a person like you, if you want people to get good results, you have to tell people well, how can you threaten with words? The physical education teacher didn't reply: I originally planned to tell you well, but your kid toasted and didn't eat and drink, and said that he was angry with me, and I didn't believe it, and I couldn't cure you.
The javelin competition was ranked last, and the order in which I played was also ranked behind, I felt that my physical condition was good, 57 meters should be no problem, I looked at the results of several athletes in front of me, and they all passed 50 meters, but the farthest was only about 55 meters, and after watching for a while, my self-confidence was bursting, if they were at this level, I had to reluctantly get a first place, the physical education teacher came over and asked me how I felt? Can you achieve a 57-meter score? I bent my right arm, pointed to my biceps and replied: Sprinkle water, remember your promise.
I was thinking, you said that if I really threw 57 meters this time, I was really sent to the county key high school, and there are still two months before I can take the high school entrance examination, which means that I don't have to prepare for the high school entrance examination anymore, then I am a fairy in the remaining two months, should I use these two months to go outside, where to go? If you go to Manhattan or New York, you have to bring my pretty lesbian table with you. No matter how reasonable it is, just the broken grades of my studies can be guaranteed to be sent to a key high school. Could it be that the old man with the fairy wind and bones said the truth, and I am really the chosen person of God? There was a whiskering sound, pulling my mind back to the arena. In my thoughts, I was telling my mom that I was going to Manhattan, and my mom told me to go if I wanted to, and ride the bike slowly, Mom, Mom was going to Manhattan by plane, but fortunately, my mind was back to the arena at this time, otherwise I would have to make my mom vomit blood.
On the field, on the javelin competition field, a javelin was far on the ground, and the person who threw the javelin turned around in a moment and walked back to the rest area, 58 meters, and the support personnel in the distance reported the results. My heart sank to the bottom, it was over, this time it seemed that I couldn't go to Manhattan, and I couldn't become a voter in heaven, I glanced at the physical education teacher, and he was not in a good state. Looking at the back of the classmate who walked back to the rest area, this kid looked like his neck and head were as thick as his head, with a black girdle tied around his waist, and he was shorter than me, and he looked stocky. He seemed to be confident, and turned around and returned to the rest area without waiting for the security person to report the results. Many people on the side began to talk that the 58-meter result must be today's champion. Although I don't have a taste in my heart, I can't convince others, my strength is not as strong as others, and no one throws it far. If it's just for the results of the competition, it's okay if you can't get the first or second place, the key is the guaranteed place in that key high school. Our middle school is admitted to a key high school every year, only seventeen or eighteen, I originally wanted to take a secondary school exam, it was the physical education teacher who lit a fire of hope for me that afternoon, won't let this kid blow out the fire for me this afternoon, right? I blew all the cows out.
My number came out of the loudspeaker, and it was finally me. No matter how much, go back at night and continue to do papers, the physical education teacher is a good teacher, the key is that if I can't get the first place, even if he recommends me, the principal can't agree, and the county can't approve it, so it's good to take a secondary school exam casually. I casually picked up a javelin on the ground, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could this javelin be lighter than what I usually used for training? I didn't squeak, and I switched to the one next to me, and it still felt like this, it was lighter than what I usually used for training. My self-confidence was overwhelmed again. According to the essentials taught by the teacher during the usual training, I took off the javelin vigorously, and I also followed the example of that buddy, bowed my head and turned around, without looking at the javelin. I heard a louder whisker next to me than just now, and then the PE teacher ran to me and punched me in the chest, okay boy, do you still have reservations when you usually train? After listening to the PE teacher, I didn't have to look back to know that I had won.
