I am very happy to participate in the competition as it is the first competition representing the school that I am participating in. On the competition day, I saw many other groups from varieties of school ahead of us as they take the lead. At that moment, I felt unhappy because of the thought of losing. But in my head, I had the mindset to do my best in finishing the completion no matter what results we may attain. When the results were announced, I was happy that the result we achieved was really good, I am glad that I chose to persevere and do my best despite the tense atmosphere. After this experience, I learnt that we cannot give up even if the situation isn’t looking good. I wish to have more opportunities to represent the school in such similar competition.
