I joined the story telling competition when I was in the high school. Actually, I did not have any experience on it. That was my first experience to join such kind of competition. I have also never seen the competition before. I just saw the competition on TV.
I got a little bit nervous when I come to the room of the competition. I thought that there were a few contestants who would join the competition. I saw the participants come to the room one by one. and, in fact, there were a lot of students who also joined the competition. Looking at them seemed that they were all experienced in the competition. It made me feel more nervous.
The competition was begun. I got the fifteenth turn to perform story telling. I learnt how the other contestants performed their story. Many of them were so great. But the rest were ordinary, I thought, it was my turn, I did my best. I tried to live up to the content of the story. I did not wish more to be a winner. I was just happy to join this competition.
That was the time to announcement of the winner. The third winner was called by the committee. No wonder! The third winner had a great performance in reading the story. It was followed by the call for the second winner. The second winner was also a great contestants. I began to be pessimistic in being the winner. The first winner had to be the one who had a really a good performance. Then, the committee called the first winner of a story telling competition. And, what a surprise! My name was called. Finally I could get the first place to be the champion. I was really happy to get it.
