Chess Competition

A few weeks ago, we had a chess competition in school. We played 6 games of chess and I won for 4 rounds.

Today during flag assembly, a teacher announced that they were going to give away the medals to the winners. I was SO happy as I knew beforehand that I will receive a bronze medal for coming in 5th. When my name was called, I ran up the stage and nervously received my medal. I was so nervous that I dared not look at anyone below.

When I told mummy that, she was so proud of me, but I told mommy that I am not contented because I wanted to get 1st place as 1st place got to receive a trophy. But mummy says that I must be happy to get the medal and she was very pleased with my progress since I only learnt Chess in the beginning of this year.

I really must admit that today is the best day of my life.
