Remembering my primary school days

I can still remember during my primary school years we should represent ourselves in foundation days. When I’m on the fourth grade I was tasked to play on table games. So I was given the chance to have some try outs on chess as well as ping pong on ping pong tables. I am not really an athlete, but I sure gave my best shot on these games, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to represent my section on any of these games. Lesson I learned? I should always play for sportsmanship so I could not feel the defeat.
