My Treasure

I have my treasure. It is very important for me. It is a charm. This charm is shaped like an owl. I got it from my teacher when I was a junior high school student. I was belonged to a tennis club in my junior high school days.
When the middle school athletic league is coming soon, my teacher gave us the charm. It is made by his wife, and it is very cute! We were deeply affected by that. We made up our minds to win games and do games not have some regrets remaining.
Then, the tournament finally came round. The first game, we play a match with not so strong team. I and my partner tried hard, and we won the game! Other player also won games. We put up a good fight, but we lost the game on the third game. My friend won through to the fourth round. It was our best score. Our team competition reached on the third round. We could not leave a good record, but we did our best. Because we got the charm and were felt our teacher’s feels, we could keep going to the end. I was deeply grateful to him. It have a pleasant memory for me.
It has been about five years since we were graduated, and our teacher retired from the junior high school, so I don’t meet him in the last four years. When I was a first grade in a high school, I and my friends went to the junior high school to meet him. We talked with him. We had a good time there.
I have this charm with care. I think back to the past every time I see it. I want to meet him with my friend some other time.
