Looking back at my 10 year old self makes me think about how focused I was at one thing, table tennis. It was the sport I dominated at even when I was versing year eights (at that time I was year six) and it is ridiculous when I look back now, how much I played it, as each school day I must have played for Two or three hours. However, doing this sport took all of the time I had each day. mornings, lunchtimes and afternoons every spare bit of time was occupied by this game. Now I wonder if it was actually worth the time, as the year after I stopped playing for quite a while. But then when I actually consider it, I realize that playing table tennis helped me overcome my barriers between people and suddenly I was able to actually interact with people.

Now days, table tennis is not such a main part of my life. I still play it, but not in such great quantities. I think that this change in attitude came with a combination of new friends and also the start of a new school year. After spending time in the holidays doing other things I liked I realized that there were other things I was good at and that I enjoyed. And suddenly I hadn't played table tennis for a term and I was having fun doing other things.

Still, even though my feelings about table tennis have changed very much since I was 10, I still like to play table tennis.
