Memories play an essential role in our life. These are lessons, feelings, accidents in many fields as a sport, study, daily life.
Memories make you happy or sad when you remember them.
I have never forgotten a football match in high school. The best memory I will keep in my whole life that taught me never to give up. The greatest enemy is yourself. We must be better and better every day. Below is my story:
In June 2014,
I was a defender in my high school's soccer team. That year, we had a crucial competition which included all of the football teams in my city. My team took one year for preparation about tactics, physical strength, football skills. Every week, the friendly match with the other high schools is a chance for us to gain more and more experience. At that time, The X-TEAM was the best team who won us 5-0, 6-0 in 2 times at two friendly matches. We were aware of them!
When the competition began, we were excellent at reaching the semi-final match. We played that match at our city's stadium that was my dream. The opponent in that match was the X-TEAM. Before the day we played, we prepared carefully and were quite nervous.
At 10:00 a.m, the game began under unbroken sunshine. I took the first step onto the field that the grass was soft. The referee allows the game to begin. In the first 15 minutes, the X-TEAM side had that possession that is difficult in taking the ball from them. In the 18th minute, Their striker had the ball at the midfield. Then he ran too close to the penalty area and scored the first goal after shooting the ball on the corner of the net. We were depressed at that time. Then, the first half was over.
In the second half, our coach on the pitch always shouted:" Never give up, boys!", we believe in ourselves. Their team began to underestimate us because all the two friendly matches they always won with big scores. I played as a defender on the left field. My responsibility was to focus against their attacker. I remembered ten times that I prevented their attempts to score in the second half. In the 70th minute, our striker scored the goal after heading the ball to the net. We seemed alive again, so the game was more exciting. The X-TEAM coach was so surprised about us as I could see his worrying face. Unfortunately, in the 88th minute, after attempts of the X-TEAM, they had finally scored to win the game in a similar way we had scored the second goal by heading the ball. Finally, the match which made us so exhausted is over. Although we lost the game, we had won ourselves. We hadn't been scared and never gave up. The X-TEAM would respect us after this game.
That is my memory I have never forgotten in my life, which taught me many things. So I have experience in my development.

Hi there,
It was great to know that you and your team never gave up. It was such a memorable story. We learn a lot from those memories, huh?
I had one to share, too.
It happened not long ago, about 1 month and a half when the whole country was celebrating the new year's eve. My colleague and I decided to take a road trip to Ha Giang. That was not my first time being on a road trip, but being the driver on such kind of trip had been my first time, actually. It was challenging because roads in Ha Giang are not as smooth as those in Hanoi or Saigon or Hue - where I live. And the most incredible thing was that there were only two of us on that trip. What is more? I was the driver. :))
At first, I thought "Well, it's gonna be fine. I can do it", but when it came to reality, I was shocked. We spent most of our time on the road in the mountainous province driving from places to places with little time to rest and have our meals. I was so tired that I couldn't manage to reach our last destination on time. It was getting dark and we were still on our way. It was getting cold and foggy, which made the trip harder for us. I was so scared that I went speechless. All I could do at that time was to keep going and not forget to pray for Budda who could probably help me, I hoped. And you know what? We found a hostel where we stayed for a night to rest and recharge ourselves after a really long and scary time.
However, we did not expect another problem coming up. The next morning, we left the hostel early hoping that we could be in Ha Giang town in time to catch our coach to Hanoi, but things were even difficult this time. Can you imagine driving your bike while it's totally dark and foggy in the morning? You couldn't see anything that is only 1m away!!! We were in such a troublesome situation that morning even though it was nearly 6:30 am. Surprisingly, I learned a new skill that helped me out of trouble. I turned off the headlight and turned on the sidelights. It worked! I could see farther and drive my bike faster. Finally, we got HG, caught the coach to Hanoi and then flew back to Hue safely.
Yeah, after that trip, I learned a lot of things. Can you name them?
Best wishes,
Nhu Ho
