 The best Day of My life
 
The hard-earned joys are the sweetest. One such joy I experienced in my 10th class
when I was selected to represent my school at the Inter-School Declamation Contest
in our city. 

My English teacher approached me in the middle of my Science class. Seeing the

papers in her hand, I immediately guessed why she had so earnestly called me out of
the class. She said, ‘Our school has received an invitation to participate in the Inter-
School Declamation Contest in our city, and the Principal has asked me to prepare you
for the same. I want you to win the competition', she continued, ‘Here is the list of
topics, let me know which topic you want to prepare. I will give you the script
tomorrow.'

There were quite a many interesting topics. However, I selected the topic 'It is better
to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.' The teacher gave me an
inspiring script for the speech. I was given three free periods to prepare for the
speech every day until the contest. I read the script hundreds of time. The English
teacher would hear me speak every day, correct my pronunciation, instruct me on
modulation as the speech demanded. Thus word by word, sentence by sentence I
perfected my speech. A day before the Declamation Contest, I was asked to deliver
my speech in the morning assembly. The entire school responded to the ending of my
speech with clapping thunder! It enthused me with confidence and self-belief.

The morning of the competition arrived. I along with my teacher reached the host
school's auditorium. I didn’t feel nervous a bit. When my turn came, I just gave a
flawless rendition. I received a standing ovation from the audience. At the end, the
judges declared the result. I jumped out of my chair three feet high, when my name
was announced as the first runner up. I was very happy. Though I was expecting the
first prize, even the second prize gave me a lot of contentment. I received a trophy
and a certificate.

At my own school I was overwhelmed with congratulations. I was applauded in the

morning assembly next day. The feeling of achievement after struggle is the best form
of happiness a human can feel. It surpasses all other forms of happiness.
