NAPFA test

YAHOO! I think I can get gold for NAPFA this year! I got a 'C' for all the test items. I was most worried about my standing broad jump, so I trained a few times before time. Our class was askede to go to the sit-ups stations first. Yay, I broke my own record, with 43 sit-ups in a minute. Later, I tried to queue up for the unclined pull-up but Moneshaa did not agree, so we went to the sit and reach station first. I stretched all I could and for the first try, I stretched 36cm. Passed 'C' again, but I did a second time and got 37cm. Then, we went to the shuttle run station. I ran 11.76 seconds. Hmm... The floor was actually quite slippery though I took off my shoes, but I would be going for another round after the other stations. After shuttle run, I went to face one of my weakness ----- standing broad jump. Adeline was overjoyed because she jumped 209cm. I asked her to teach me how to jump. If I can get gold, I would treat her a drink. So off I went, after the short 1/2 minute lesson from Adeline. I JUMP! 160cm! Yes! Yes! I only need 150cm to get 'C' and above. The teacher wanted me to take a second try, so I simply jump and jumped 158cm. I was too happy to bother above the difference. The station that stole my chance to achieve gold for NAPFA last year is defeated! Hahaha... Moneshaa and I have quite a high chance to achieve gold for NAPFA. next station was a hard one too, inclined pull-up. I pulled with all my might and when I reached 10, I purposely stopped. I did not want to force myself to do too many or stress myself up. Moneshaa was not very confident with herself, so Adeline told her to do 20 sit-ups first. Moneshaa went to try her pull-ups but could merely do 1. So, off we went to retest shuttle run, as we were not very satisfied with our results. I run all I could, and took 11.00 seconds. At least it was better than the previous try. Moneshaa went back to the pull-up station, but still could not do much, and the strict teacher wrote '2' in the first-try column.
I told my mum that I would be home by 2:45p.m, but I was already 1-hour late. So, I decided to head home. I wished Moneshaa good luck and set home with a bottle of apple juice which I promised to get for myself as a reward if I achieved gold.
