I have been a contestant in many contest in our school when I was in elementary. I've been in a inter school competition, in the division level and also in the regional level.There is a contest that I would never forget in my life.
This was when my teacher picked me as the representative in our school to join the journalism contest in the division level. She assigned me in the news writing competition in filipino and editorial cartooning in filipino also. Before the contest we really practiced a lot. I am not the only one who was picked, there was many of us. In our practice she sometimes scold me because all of my format in news writing was wrong and I also did not rearrange the events. But I still did all my best in practicing.
When the contest day came, i felt very nervous. Because there where many other schools that we need to compete to join the regional level. In the contest (in the category of news writing) I did my best in rearranging the events that have been given to us. At first I don't know what to do so ... I just rearrnge all the events and after I've finish I passed it to the teacher in charge. I'm still hoping that all I've done was correct because I am a bit afraid of my teacher.And in the other side in the category of editorial cartooning, I did understand well the topic and draw it on my paper. After the finishing touches I have done, I did also pass it to the in charged person.
The next day all of the participants are requested to go back to the venue for the awarding ceremony. When we entered I felt nervous again. Then my teacher was given a paper where there are lists of the winning participants. My teacher and my classmates were very happy because four of us won! And I'm also very happy because I am one of them! I placed first in news writing and third in editorial cartooning.The next venue of the regional level would be Danao. It would be also my first time in Danao.We even practiced more for the regional level.
When that day came I felt very excited.It would be three days that we will be staying in Danao. When we reached Danao we are staying in a school. In that school we will be sleeping. It was also very nice because all of the contestants have the same bag. In our bags was where our schedules and also the tickets for our food.Our food was catered. It just taste so delicious.
When it is my schedule for a contest I need to get up early and ride on the service jeepney. In the news writing competition it was very hard I just did not know what to do. But when it came to my editorial cartooning I did all my best.
When the closing program came no one of my classmates said that they would win. I also have the same taughts to them. I did not win in the news writing competition but I won fourth place in editorial cartooning. I was every happy at that moment even though the first, second and third placers are going to Surigao for the national level.
