I love the shooting the sport, shooters, and the NJ shooting club :)

Finally the big day has arrived, and the results were not too disappointing (luckily). But with or without, in my opinion the most important is that we have strived together as a team which really matters in our hearts. Although we managed to clinch a team fourth position as the results tell us, there are many things to be grateful for. Through this journey, I'm glad that I have gained experience in my own techniques, self-discovery, knowing more about my teammate, captain, trying to manage time well, building rapport with my coaches.

We managed to maintain our position. In comparison to perhaps 20 over schools  we have at least another reason to walk home with a smile on our faces. We have done a lot together as a team in our last week of the race. We have great seniors who supported us in person (thanks carol and kaimin) and also in spirit, through the various ways of passing messages to us, not to forget great juniors too :)

Although I have left the shooting sport, I know that my heart still lies with the shooting club.

My mom asked me when I got home, "So, your competition has ended, so no more shooting and club activities already ok?" It was easy to answer the shooting part, but I told her that I might be involved with club stuff, just that I will try to keep it minimal. Studies are important. And I think I would want to remind myself to strive to be The NJ Shooter, that does well in shooting and in studies too.

I know truely that I am not perfect, and the more I know about myself, the more flaws I see in it. Sometimes I got to change it, and sometimes acceptance is the other best option.

Today's shoot wasn't my best performance, but it was a good shoot, nonetheless.
