== Hiii. My name is Mayia. My friends are Cryssy, Betty Boop, Onella Nutella, Energiser Bunny, Ilay (doesn't have a nickname...lol), Snappy Tom, Kit Kat, Hanan(ah) Montana, Jo, Sam the Man, Robbie, Matthew, Andy Pandy (ur welcumm onella nutella) and others... ==

== I love sport. My favourite sport would have to be Soccor (although basketball is so close). I love Manchester United I'm really bad at soccor, but i love it when i actually get the ball of someone( don't expect to see it often ). Even though I'm not good at soccor, I keep trying (thank god my friends are not judgemental) I like basketball for two reasons. ==

No.1- because it's exhilarating and easy to follow
== No.2- because... (this will sound dumb) you can stand on the court and look like your doing something when your'e just there supporting the team ( for those who are laughing, cheering and supporting is a important job and I get tired sometimes). I do play basketball too (not just support). I play football too sometimes ( I may not be good but I try my best). My favourite football team is St Kilda (not just because they are owning every other team this season). But seriously there are lots of teams playing well this season (not that I watch footy that much ). ==

== Today, I went to Athletics to represent our school in the 12 year old Girls, Shotput event. It was a very tiring day, and the butterflies in my stomach did not help. Luckily many of my friends were at the event, and they knew how I felt. I tried to forget about the butterflies, but they would not go away. Eventually, I got so caught up in the cheering, that I completely forgot about the butterflies, and my event. At 11:30, I was called to my event. We were placed into a line. I wished everyone that I was competing against good luck. At that moment, I started talking to a girl after me in the line. She asked me what my highest put was. I (very unconfidently) replied 9 metres 40 centimetres. "Good on you", replied the girl. It turned out that that girls highest put was 5 metres 24. It was at that moment that my confidence raised and I thought i could win the competition. It finally came to my turn. I slowly picked up the shotput (it was heavier than at school). My arm strained as I held it in my hand. I was feeling the pressure. "How much does this weigh?", I asked Mrs Susan. She replied "3 kg". Then I started to freak out, I could not believe it. At school, we were putting (maximum) 1 kg. ==

== I could have sworn my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. I putted the shotput and waited for the measurement. "5 metres 24 centemetres", said Mrs Susan. My confidence sank. I walked to the back of the line. A few seconds later, the girl after me (Sharnie) asked me what I got. I told her that I got 5 metres 24 centimetres. When I asked her what she got, she told me she got 6 metres 12 centimetres. I waited for my next shot. Once again I putted the shotput. "5 metres 47 centimetres. I waited and watched Sharnie's put. To my surprise, I saw that she did not put the shotput, she threw it! I was astounded that they did not pull her up. I watched others have their turn. It seemed I was the only one playing fairly. When it came to my last turn, I asked Mrs Susan if they were disqualifying people for throwing the shotput instead of putting it, and do you know what she said. She said, well we can't disqualify people for the way that they've been tought how to put the shotput". "This isn't the Olympics". I was completely outraged. I told myself at that point that I was not a cheater and that even though it might cost me a ribbon, I would play fairly. I putted the shotput with all of my might and waited for the measurement. " 6 metres 47 centimetres", said Mrs Susan. I watched Sharnie throw the shotput and listened to her measurement. " 6 metres 58", said Mrs Susan. I fought back the tears and looked over Mrs Susan's shoulder. I had come third. Before I collected my ribbon, Mrs Susan pulled me aside. She could tell that I was fighting tears. She tried to explain the circumstances to me but at that point in time, nothing could cheer me up. She said if I wanted, she could call them back for a rematch. I said no though, because I did not wat to take away someone else's happiness for my own. I said thankyou, walked away, and collected my ribbon. ==

== When I got back to where my school was sitting, I sat down next to Mrs Rider. I told her what happened and she said something very inspirational to me. She told me that I knew I had done the right thing, and that in Zone Athletics, those girls will be disqualified. At that moment, I felt better. I knew inside of me that I had done the right thing. My school was proud of me no matter what. I went to Mrs Ceccini and asked her if you came third, did you make it to Zone Athletics. She was unsure. I went to the counter where I got my ribbon and asked the same question. My heart raced as the lady went away to ask someone else. Would I be going? She came back with very disapointing news. I walked back to my group and sat next to my friends. My eyes went all teary as I told Crystal the bad news. I was hoping to get into Zone Athletics because last year, I saw people from my old school who are in year seven now. I was hoping that if I got in, I would get to see my friends, and represent our school. Crystal cheered me up and gave me a hug. I knew that I had great friends who would help me get over it. Soon, I had forgot all about it and I was proud of myself. I started supporting my school in their events, in the hope that they would get to do what I didn't. If I didn't get to go, didn't mean I shouldn't support others on their chance to go. We eventually headed home. Many of my friends made it into zone and many of them didn't. I was proud of all of them anyway and I knew they were proud of me. ==

== I love all types of music.​ At the moment, my favourite singers/bands are Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Eminem,and others. When I grow up, I want to be a singer/actress. Michael Jackson inspired me to become a singer because he has a beautiful voice and most importantly, a beautiful heart. r.i.p Mj :) ==
