Sample Answer

One of my most cherished moments in life was when I won the interdepartmental table tennis competition at my college. It happened last year, and I received gold medal for the Girls Singles competition. I had been practicing table tennis for almost 3 years now I have developed strong passion for the sport and wish to take my skills to the next level.

The competition was organized by college to promote sportsmanship among the students. All the matches were played in the sports hall where all the judges, audience and my friends were present. At first, I felt quite nervous due to the pressure of representing my own department. However, as the game begun I became more confident and enjoyed passing strong spins and shots.

The final match was very exciting as it was a tough competition which made the game challenging and exciting at the same time. The scores of both the teams were very close which created a strong momentum in the game. When the referee announced the results, I felt extremely happy and content with my own performance as all my efforts paid off.

After the match we celebrated our victory with friends and family. This was the happiest situation of my life as it was both an enriching as well as a learning experience for me. Its memories are always close to my heart.
