A GAME IS NOT JUST A PLAIN KIDDY STUFF

“I Love You, Do You Love Me?”, a game played by a group It starts with an

underdog who’ll choose someone from the group and ask “Do you love me?”, if he says

yes, then everyone changes places, while when he says no, he’ll reason out that he loves

people who…(by category), example, “No, I love people who wear pointed shoes, all

who wear pointed shoes will change their seats. The one who will be unable to find a seat

will be the next underdog. The person who has been the loser many times will receive

punishment

            A game that is not new to me but haven’t been able to be played. I got so excited

when our professor announced that we will play that game. Since I was wearing white

uniform, I anticipated that it would be difficult for me to run miles apart. So, I always tell

to whoever my seatmate would be that we’ll just exchange seats, a simple tactic that

would keep me always safe. I’ve learned to trust my contract partner. Along the game, I

felt nervous, what if I fail to have a chair? Would it be hard for me? What would I feel?

Honestly, I didn’t know I’ve realized that there’s nothing wrong if I fail to have one. But,

in ever game, your aim is winning.

            I cheated twice but never meant. When the underdog announced that No, She loves

people who has a long hair, I didn’t move. When the next underdog announced that she loves

people with short hair, I didn’t move again. For I haven’t been able to classify my hair length. I

learned that I have to classify things as fast as I could to avoid things that I have to avoid, in that

game, cheating My seatmate noticed that “mannequin scene” that happened to me, she just

laughed at it and didn’t desert me That game made me notice people that would be somehow be

called as the trustworthy I’ve realized that in every game, you will learn if you let yourself learn,

a game will bring fun if you enjoy it, a game is a great way to know other people deeply and a

game is not just a plain kiddy stuff, it makes us grow as a person.
