Clubs
Last term, I mainly joined two clubs, one is football club, the other is the volunteer club, I chose these club, because I like sports, doing more exercises can help me push the physical limit, and make me more masculine, more vigorous, secondly because of my particular verity, I think in the big society, everyone should have their obligation, to help people who is in need. All the people have own social value, for me doing more beneficent things can make me get more consolation in astral layer that is the reason why I joined it.

Through my opinion I think, football club is a unique sports club in GCA, because in any matches, it need all the people’ cooperation, body discussion, and the collaborative spirits, instead of the personal physical energy, skills. This factor just show its difference, in football club, the whole activities was separated into two parts, firstly part one is the collective training, practice, second part is the simulated match. Our club president MR Pinney has told us: “a good team should possess not only the empirical practice, but also the pragmatic skills!” in the part one we practiced the rudimentary skills, like heading the ball, passing the ball, how to trap the ball, and learn some new rules with the training like offside, penalty-kick, nutmeg…through these practice, studying the rules it reinforced our impression of the football. In the second part, thing seemed be more fierce. We will have the match, that is called pragmatic match, during the match, firstly we must adhere to these rules, secondly, we tried to pass our opponents, and shot the goal, that is just the match, but I studied and improved many things, for instance because I am a forward, I need to run more, at first I can’t endure it because I felt so tried, suffocating, but as the time went on, my physical stamina is much more better than before, because of the running, it let me be more dexterous, flexible in my life. Secondly through the match, we gradually realize the importance of cooperating with teammates, in football game, nobody has the constant partner, things change rapidly during the match, when we just joined the club, during the match, and we just knew we should to shot the ball, without any organized plan, exactly that was the individual game, some people even struggled the ball with their teammates. The game was absolutely in chaos, we lost the matches… but after several match, we gradually realized something intangible; people began to be “gentle”. They began to know that is not merely the personal game. Through the long-term training, our coordination is more and more “telepathic”. I even can pass the ball to my teammates who beside me without moving the eyes. Our football club has a unique strength, because in this club we have more matches with other schools, like Nanjing international school, that is a intractable adversary, but other sports clubs in GCA seldom have these chances so I think we get more sports experience, and have more chance to communicate with other school to increase the friendship.

In GCA, I think join the football club, can make students more active, more exuberant, and can solidify their antibody to fight for the epidemic, for me it helps me lose weights, and be more confident in PE lessons.

For the volunteer club, people should not think of reward, instead we also need to have the optimistic spirit, sometimes we have to sacrifice our time to help other, through this club, I found the good discussion skills, patience, selflessness, are very important, especially like the discussion skills, because as the volunteer we want to try to help others, if we didn’t elucidate our motivation clearly, people will probably refuse to receive our help. For example during the winter vocation, we go to the sanatorium to visit the elders, most of them are a bit insane, and had the negative mood, for us we need to figure out how to make them more positive, what topic can help them alleviate the spiritual pain. If we talked something wrong, their trouble will be more serious…

In fact the activities in volunteer club is quite elaborate, sometimes we also organize the donation in GCA, and go to rural school to help students study…the only weakness could be the scale exactly, our club’s members are still shorthanded, when we help others the effect look a bit trivial, I think if more people joined it, it must let GCA becomes more harmonious and balmy. Our goal is to let pool people, sanatoriums, and terrible things as less as possible!
