The most memorable day in my life

Whenever I look at that photo it takes me back to those early years when every new experience was so important that it was almost unbearable.

It was towards the end of the school year – my first year at primary school – when it happened. I can still remember the shouts of the spectators as I went out onto the sports field with my classmates. Earlier that week I had qualified for the finals of the 100 metres. I was determined to win.

While I was walking across to the start, I began to feel more and more nervous. I looked at the bustling crowd of spectators, and I saw my proud parents waving enthusiastically. My heart was pounding fast. as soon as I lined up with the other eager competitors. I felt so excited that my whole body was shaking. I braced myself, took some deep breaths and waited for the signal. Then the starting pistol sounded and I set off down the track.

I could hear the crowd shouting excitedly, but the noise seemed very far away. I sprinted as fast as I could, not looking at anything except the finishing line. By the time I crossed the line I was so exhausted I could hardly breathe. When I heard the result announced, I realized, I had won!!

Overjoyed, I collapsed on the soft grass with a broad grin on my face.

“Well done!” said the Headmaster later, as he presented me with the winner’s certificate. I had never felt so happy and proud in my life. It was the first great success in my life!
