Picture Discussion

This picture depicts a scene of a school's sports day prize giving ceremony and I know that it is one as the participants are wearing PE attire, there is a running track and a football field and there is a prize being awarded to a winner. As the prize is being awarded, the crowd of spectators behind are cheering and giving a round of applause to the winner. Let us focus on the winner. She is smiling shyly and looking away from the camera while receiving a trophy from the guest of honour. She is extremely happy that she had won a competition and was awarded a prize by the guest of honour himself. In my opinion, I feel that she deserves to be happy with herself as winning a sports competition is a big deal and she may have made people realise her prowd achievement. She may have put a lot effort in training for this event and I can say that her hardwork has paid off. Let us focus on the guest of honour, who has a bald spot on his head. I know that he is one as only guests of honour can award prizes to winners. In my opinion, I feel that he must be very honoured to have come and witness such a joyous event as well as to award the winner with the trophy. He must have sacrificed some time to come for this event and I think that he has much respect for the school. There are two NPCC cadets in full police uniform and are stationed at the far sides of the photo. They look smart in their uniform as they are groomed appropriately and they must have polished up their uniform til tip-top condition. In my opinion, I feel that they are stationed at their posts to maintain order and prevent any mishap from taking place at such a joyous event. Their upright posture tells us that they have a high standard of discipline, are prowd in their work and dedicated in their commitment towards the school. After this event, I think that all the participants will be happy with what they have won and for those who did not win, I hope that they will not be discouraged or jealous, but will work harder for next year and never give up. To conclude, I would like to say that this event is quite meaningfull, has served many purposes and should not be viewed by students as useless or a waste of time. The reason why I think that this event is meaningfull is because firstly, it helps students realise that exercising and keeping yourself fit is very important. Secondly, such a joyous event helps to reduce our stress from all that studying. Thirdly, it brings us together as a school so that we can foster a stronger bond between each other and build better relationships with one another by working together to achieve a common goal. I really do hope that more of such events can be held in my own school.
