Essays Memorable Day in My Life
It was the 27th day of July and the last day of competition I had
participated in the All Pakistan Software competition. I read the
advertisement in the newspaper three months ago, in which software
programmers were invited to send in their software for the competition. I
worked hard for about one month and made the software, which was then
selected by the panel of judges and I was invited to participate in the
event. Now, after three restless days, the event was coming to an end.
But, there was a closing ceremony to come, in which the best
programmers were to be awarded prizes.
I had been waiting for the day with anxiety and curiosity. I got up
early in the morning and prayed to God to grant me success. I was
rather uneasy and restless. My mind was swinging between expectation and
apprehension. It was an inexplicable situation of uneasiness and
anticipation. I was not sure about what to expect. My parents and
friends had high expectations of me. At one moment, I though that I
would win but again I feared if I do not. I knew that there is always an
element of chance, how good one may be. I was in a very disturbed
state of mind.
The closing ceremony was yet to commence. The sand of time was running
out. I was getting more and more restless. At last, I reached the
exhibition hall and found my seat amidst the participants. The ceremony
started with the speech of the organizing committee and then that of
the chief guest. They all emphasized on the importance of software
development in the country and measures for its promotions. Finally,
the judges were invited to the dais to announce the best programmers of
the competition. At once, absolute silence covered the audience. At
the moment, I still remember that my legs were trembling and heart
throbbing. In less than a minute, the judge announced the name of the
person who had won First Prize in the big event – and that was me! I
was filled with a feeling of greatest joy and excitement. I thanked God
and ran to the stage with every body congratulating me. The chief
Guest handed me the winning shield. I was requested to express a few
words about my success. That was a speechless moment. Filled with
emotions and in high spirits, I thanked God, my parents and all my
friends who had helped me in my achievement.
When I reached home, my parents were exhilarated with delight and joy
as I gave them the good news. My siblings rejoiced my remarkable
attainment. When I informed my friends and relatives them came to
congratulate me. Tea and sweets were served to all. Every body was in a
jolly and happy mood. My mother prepared pleasant edibles for lunch and
we dined altogether. Never before was I so happy.
In the evening, many other relatives and friends came to congratulate
me. My father welcomed them cordially and thanked them for their kind
visits. We passed the whole day cheerfully. In fact, it was the
happiest day of my life, which I shall remember for many years to come.
