Reflect on my recent accomplishment.

     

     In my final year of school, I made the decision to enter a pidato tournament which is something I had never, ever imagined myself doing in my academic career. I've been visualising myself performing on stage ever since I took the decision to join it and the very idea of it gives me butterflies in my stomach.

     I experienced a mixture of emotions upon getting onto the platform, despite having spent countless hours preparing for this momentous occasion. I just had one idea in my head: "I want to make the most out of this moment and not look back."

     Unfortunately, I was defeated by my friend from a different class in the semifinals. I was really upset at the time since I had been having fantasies about winning the grand prize and it was the main reason kept me working so hard. However, it's still a significant accomplishment in my life though, because I had to fight and overcome my introverted nature to participate in it, so I'm proud of myself.
