There's a certain expectation that all children should love sports - after all, they're fun, energetic, and a common way to bond with peers. But not me. I've never been 'sports-inclined.' My interests lean more towards arts, literature, and science.
The thing is, I get it. The excitement, the adrenaline rush, the camaraderie - I see how it all sets an exciting atmosphere. What I don't understand is the stigma surrounding those who don't enjoy sports, like me.
It's not that I despise sports, but the pressure to fit in and the occasional teasing don't sit well with me. I believe that diversity should be celebrated, not suppressed. It's time for my peers, and even my school, to recognize that not all talent involves a ball or a score point.
I decided to take it upon myself to advocate for students like me. I created a club that focuses on arts, literature, and science. The turnout was surprisingly good. It showed that I wasn't alone in my sentiments.
Not liking sports doesn't make us weird or different; it just makes us unique. We all have our ways of expressing ourselves, and that's what truly matters. After all, wouldn't the world be a boring place if we all liked the same things?
