This is my very first tabblo. In this tabblo, I would be focusing on something which may be already obvious to close friends, but quite new to the not-so-close ones: my undying passion for sports.

Soccer, the best sport in the whole world, is also personally my best sport. Everyone already knows that I love soccer and that I am very dedicated to this sport, but has anyone wondered why I am obsessed with it? Basically, what drives me to play this amazing game is the sheer desire to score goals. As a striker of Xavier's Varsity Team, it is my task to score as many goals as possible to achieve victory for the team. My lust to kick the ball to the net, and the sensation scoring a goal gives me, are the engines which give me the drive to play this sport.

My love for this sport started when I became a part of our class's basketball team in High One. Being just a substitute for the better players of the team, I slowly grew a desire to become better and surpass my teammates. As my thirst for improvement grew, so did my passion for this sport. It took long, painful hours of playing basketball alone to be able to improve just a single bit. But after dedicating my whole heart into this, I can come to a conclusion that all these trials and hardships I had to endure were all worthwhile.

Every Friday, after long, gruesome hours of just sitting down and listening to boring lectures (no offense), some friends and I find refuge in Hemady Sports Club, a club for all badminton fanatics. In this place, young teenagers like us, together with older and more mature adults (like the priests who play with us) spend a few hours just enjoying the pure excitement of the adrenaline-pumping game of badminton. This gives us not only the relaxation we need from the tiring load of schoolwork, but also the opportunity to indulge ourselves in a totally new environment of people who share a common passion.  

This is the undiscovered side of me. Do no be fooled with my facade. I may not look like an athletic person, but when you see me in a soccer field, in a basketball court, or in a badminton court, your perspective of me would totally change. As they say: Do not judge a book by its cover.

By the way, for all those who are wondering why I don't have any pictures of myself, I guess its safe to say that it's all part of my personality. I'm not really a fan of taking pictures of myself. :)

Also, I would like to thank www.sxc.hu for allowing me to use these photos free of charge.
