HS Essay, tied for 3rd Place:  Washing Away Worries and Fears

Last week, we had a sports day at school. I joined the basketball game and played with friends from other classes. It was so much fun. I also went to watch a soccer match being played outside, but unfortunately, it started to rain. Soon we were all soaking wet. Then, some friends from my class said, “Let’s go to the hot spring near our school!” A few of us guys went there together. In the warm water, we talked for three hours about fun memories, sad moments, and many things from our daily life. When I came out of the bath, I felt something special. Not only my sweat and dirt, but also my worries and fears seemed to be washed away.    (122 words)   By Jun S.
