Syed Husnain Haqqani Grade 8 Al Wurood International School “Success” is a word which is loved by all and achieved by few. Like everyone, I too wanted to achieve success in my life and for doing it I realized that continuous hard work and commitment toward academics as well as extra-curricular activities is the basic key. The sports or extra-curricular activities are equally important with the school studies. As we know a healthy mind lies in a healthy body. There are various activities which are beneficial to all, for example: martial arts, swimming and cricket. Learning leadership qualities and improving speaking and reading skills are a must to face the future world challenges. Being a member of Jeddah Cricket League, Saudi Cricket Center in Jeddah and Arshad Ayyub Cricket Club in Hyderabad, India, has taught me not only the game but also team spirit, cooperation and understanding. Winning the purple belt in the Defa International Karate Club and preparing for the brown belt has taught me how to defend and gain control of emotions. Learning swimming from King Fahad Coastal City Club in Jeddah is a very interesting and encouraging experience of my life. In my opinion healthy sports and games are a must for all the students. In the beginning, I was very nervous and timid and was afraid of facing a large audience but now my speaking skills have improved ten folds. All thanks to Legacy which I have been attending from the past three years. With the help of all these skills and my efficient teachers in school I have been winning the excellent awards in the science expo from the last three years. For all these achievements, I would like to thank to the Almighty, my loving parents and teachers and all well-wishers.
