This I believe is the spirit of hungry. Originally, this word comes from the mental condition that people try to do something for their life in order to eat. Although, this word is used widely today, I think that the hungry spirit consists of two parts, the infinite desire to improve oneself and never giving up whatever happens.

When I was a high school student, I dedicated myself to tennis club activity. Because I have played tennis since 13 years, I lacked in a lot of experience at that time and I made up for it in effort. After school, I took part in club activity every day and did hard training in order to become a regular member. I had an infinite desire to improve my performance. But I injured my right wrist during the game for selecting regular members, so I cannot participated in a Spring Tokyo Tennis Tournament. I was very disappointedin the result and watched the tournament as a cheering member. When the players in my school were defeated in quarterfinal, I was also frustrated. At the same time, I decided to take revenge as a player in the next match. Although I did not cure the pain in right wrist, I started to do training such as running and watching several tennis players on the Internet. After completely recovery, I did my best for win. Thanks to hard work, I become a regularmember for summer tournament. Under severe circumstance, I had the tie record finally in our tennis club. This is never giving up whatever happens.

In Japan, it is said that many young people are getting passive, reserved and satisfied with their surroundings. I think that this trend is not good for Japan to survive in this world. There are a lot of literally hungry people in this world and they made an effort desperately to eat much and get much money and higher position. They have the real hungry spirit. If Japanese people live peacefully as they are, we will fall into the poor. I experienced the success with the hungry spirit and young people in Japan face the challenge without it. So, I believe the spirit of hungry.
