I Learned to Choose Peace

I Learned to Choose Peace

I used to get angry quickly, especially when someone pushed me during a session. I thought shouting back or fighting made me strong. But through Altus Sport, our coach Gontse taught us about fair play, peace and dealing with emotions.

We did activities where we acted out arguments and learned how to calm down and talk instead. It was strange at first, but it helped me. Now, when I lose, I shake hands and smile. Even at home, when my younger brother annoys me, I take a deep breath instead of shouting.

My mom told me I’ve become calmer and more mature. The biggest change for me is learning that peace doesn’t make me weak—it makes me powerful inside.
