My Unbelievable Experience
A Remarkable Turn of Events
Today, something truly remarkable happened to me. It all started at my school, where we come together with great spirit and passion to celebrate memorable occasions such as Independence Day and Defense Day.
On these special days, we pour our hearts into speeches and songs, filling the air with patriotism and pride.
At the end of these events, there’s a tradition.
Those who deliver the best speeches or sing the most soul-stirring songs get the chance to represent our school in town-level competitions.
If they succeed at that level, they move on to the district-level competitions, where only one child takes home a prize.
Every time a memorable occasion came around, my teachers would select me to participate in the town-level competition.
However, time and time again, I fell short, failing to impress the judges. I knew the reason why: I wasn’t taking it seriously enough.
About a week ago, we celebrated the Milad of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa SAW, peace be upon him. Once more, my teachers chose me for the town-level competition.
This time, I was absolutely certain that, as usual, I would not make it to the next round.
