My treasure

My treasure is a costume that I wore at a sports festival when I was a high school student. I didn’t like dancing so much, but because of a lack of members, I had to join the team as a dancer. There were a lot of lessons every day. Even during the Golden Week, I had to go to school to practice dancing almost every day. I had to practice harder than other members because I was not good at dancing and in addition, I couldn’t remember the dance. I spent very hard days until the sports festival. My treasure is a costume which I wore while I danced in the sports festival. The costumes are made by hand. Usually mothers make them. Also in my case, my mother made my costume for me. Because there was only a few days until the contest, she sat up late at night making it and I helped it in places. Dancing was very difficult, however, making a costume is as difficult as dancing. Thanks to cooperation of mothers, eventhough, there was a lot of trouble, but the real performance was a huge success.

Even though I made a half-hearted attempt to practice dancing, but in the end, I thought that I did well just to join the team because I gained a sense of accomplishment with comrades. Thanks to this event, I could build a bond with the other members. And after the festival, some members acknowledge my efforts as a group. I keep it close to my heart. This sports festival is one of my big events during high school. Unfortunately, I didn’t get better at dancing, but I had a great experience by joining the team. The costume reminds me of the hard and good days. Sometimes I look at it to brace myself. Therefore, the costume is my treasure.
