An Unforgettable Victory



I participated in a music competition in 7th grade. There were four  rounds in the competition with  three judges assessing performance. There were not only school students but Sunday school students for this competition.

That day, I trained well for the competition, and I had to compete for first place. I was a little scared and so nervous. This was not only for myself but for the reputation of my school as by competing, i was showing the talents of its cohort. There were 3 contestants representing my school alongside me. However, only I qualified for the final round. There were about a total of 150 contestants for this  competition.

 Everyone performed and finally, they gave the results on the same day. They selected 10 out of 150 contestants. It was announced that I was ranked 10th out of 150 contestants. Hearing this I felt so happy that I could not speak. A girl representing my school came to the stage with me, carrying the flag of my school, and I received gifts along with a certificate. This made me very happy. A hard-earned, memorable achievement that I can be proud of. One I will not forget.

I studied in Rathnavali Girls' High School in Gampaha. Our principal conducted a function for the school on 05.02.2023 to evaluate the talent of the children attending the school. National and international achievements of the students from the years 2018 to 2022 were appreciated. It was a very grand event. Mr. Arjuna Ranthunga was the guest of honor.  Our principal gave the welcome speech for the colorful main event. Different cultural aspects were presented by adding different colors from different backgrounds to the functions. I was also a color recipient of this main event and it made me very happy to have received the opportunity. By far the thing that made me the happiest was meeting my school friends again after 3 years, a definite highlight of the event. It was also the first and last time that I watched my younger sisters perform from the audience after having been on stage for so long. That day is another unforgettable day in my life.

A Day

On 16 th January 2020 my school had organized a God Saraswathi puja. It was a very big festival in our school. The day before we had decorated our Saraswathi mandapa, practiced  some bajans then made some sweets such as Aggala Boondi, Gulab jamun, Pani walalu etc.  Finally a long awaited day had come. It was our pooja day. I left home early in the morning, while on my way I suddenly fell down. I was injured a lot, my face ,leg and hand were all wounded. Another student came by and she helped to stand up Then She admitted me to the hospital.  After a few  hours my friends also came to hospital to visit me. I was given an injections and they applied some medicine to my wounds. After that I was finally able to come back home. Unfortunately I couldn't participate in our school Saraswathi puja. It was an unforgettable day in my life.😞
