Dear diary,

Today was the best day of my life. Guess why ? Sumati Madam told me that I have been
selected as the ‘Best sportsman of the year’. I am so happy that all the hard work that I
had done, paid back today. I can never forget how much I had toiled in the field, during
the summer camp to get into the school football team. My coach had appreciated my
efforts. My parents will be so proud of me when I will receive the trophy for the ‘Best
Sportsman’ from the Chief Guest. All the parents and teachers will clap for me. I will be a
hero at that moment.
I have also been selected to represent the team for the School Nationals to be held next
month.
I pray that god give me the strength and endurance to live up to the expectations of my
coach and my parents. It’s time to sleep now.
