I am Nagarjuna of class 10 studying in RICE – MMS. I am from Kadappa District of
Andhra Pradesh. My mother is working as a cook in an anganwadi run by RAIDS, an
NGO at Kadappa. I have an elder brother who is a coolie. I joined RICE – MMS in
class 3 in the year 2003. My sports career began when I was studying in 4th
standard. I was a member of our junior KHO-KHO team and my team bagged 1st
place. I also participated in Long jump and secured silver medals. This
participation boosted my self-confidence and interest in sports. After this
event, I secured several medals and certificates in zonal, District, Division,
State, Bangalore Sahodya school complex sports meet and in South zone level
sports meets.
In the recent past, I represented my school in Athletics, Football and
Handball. This year I bagged individual championship in the Zonal and district
level Athletic meets, scoring 18 points. I got first place in Javelin throw, 110
m Hurdles, Triple jump and second in 100 m sprint. This made me participate in
the divisional meet in which I secured first place in Javelin throw. Through
this achievement, I got eligibility to participate in the state level meet which
was held at Chennai from 20th to 22nd of January 2011. In the state level meet I
had a tough competition where even the students of sports hostels from different
parts of Tamil Nadu also participated. But my confidence, willpower and hard
work made me secure 2nd place in the state level meet by throwing the javelin
for a distance of 43.97 meters. This is one of the greatest and memorable
achievements in my sports career.
Thanks a million to TdH-NL, my dear sponsors, my beloved Physical Education
teachers without whose contributions and support, I would not have succeeded
these things and would not even have become aware that I have these potentials.
