Goal Accomplished!

There are many students around me and I can feel the shaking of my knees because of nervousness and excitement. “Relax and calm down, my dear. We will support you no matter what happen.” My teachers whispered at me and told me that I can do it. I gave them a huge smile in return. This is it.

As we entered the room where the category of copyreading will be held, the contestants occupied their seats and all of us became silent like a sea. First, we listened carefully to the mechanics given by the faculty members. “Your time starts now.” The facilitator shouted all over the room as the questionnaires were passed from the front up to the back seat. Next, I started answering the answer sheet and I told myself, “They are supporting you. Be calm and confident.” Then, the bell rang.

As the bell rang, it means that time was over and we need to pass our papers. Finally, after one hour, they announced the names of the winners. We all screamed in happiness when my name was called by the judges. “You won the third place! We’re so proud of you.” My teachers hugged and thanked me for giving my best shot with this journalism competition. “I won’t survive this contest if you’re not here, my dear teachers.” I told them gratefully and all of us shouted, “Mission accomplished!”.
