COLOR FUN RUN
Last year, I joined a color fun run in the benefit of the children
who are suffering from cancer. When I arrived in the venue, the people looked
like an army of ants. I looked at the runners around me; I can see the
excitement painted in their faces. I felt so glad because these people are not
just here to enjoy but also, to extend a helping hand. While me, my goal here
is not just to enjoy and help but to reach the finish line.
The
sun wasn't still rising when we arranged in our positions. "Are you
ready?" the organizer asked. "Yeah!" me and the other runners
shouted at the top of our lungs and we all ran in a signal from the organizer.
After a couple of turns, I'm already feeling tired and I'm sweating at the same
time. "Run! Just run!" I thought to myself. At the next turn, there
were colored powders, the runners in my back shouted in excitement. After we
pass through the colored powders, we look like rainbows. We laughed at each other’s
look.
Finally,
I can see the finish line but I'm really feeling exhausted, my foot and my
knees are both aching. "You can do it. There's the finish line!" I
motivated myself. I forced myself to keep moving. The next thing I knew, I was
already in the finish line, my tiredness end up being happiness and
contentment. "I made it! I reached my goal!" I told myself.
