Cheers and Chants Competition, My Great Inspiration

We never know what will be the outcome of our performance. Did we done well?

Cheers and Chants Competition was held in Multi-Purpose Hall 1(MPH1) on October 7, 2015. The competition has 5 participants AC 151, AC 152, BM 151, MA 151, and last TM 151 which is my group. Each participant has a maximum of 5 minutes to perform their cheers and chants.

Some people said that our presentation will be a great success. Whether we are good or not, we are still nervous on how will our presentation go in front of the crowd. Many of us are hoping that we will make it up to champion, while me I’m trying to be null, because I don’t know what will happen after.

The time that it’s our group’s turn, many are overwhelmed. I tried to calm them down as much as I can, like saying, “stay with us”, “we can do this”, “we will do it”.

Then as we perform we almost lost at the first part, because of the beat and everyone tries getting into their position on time, good thing KC found a way to overcome the excess beat, so that we can blend. As we go on, I did my best to perform well. Then my part comes, I tried projecting my yell as much as possible and I tried making my moves mesmerizing.

After our performance, some of my classmates told me that the people laughed at my part. I found it very flattering, knowing the fact that it might have contributed to the score.

Then it’s judging time, I didn’t expect for anything but at the same time, my heart beats very fast. I always feel like this every time there is a presentation and it’s either me about to take my turn to present in front or whatever.

Then boom we’ve won second place, some of us are disappointed because they expect that we’ll be the champion. While me mixed, a half of disappointment and a half of satisfaction. But still I’m trying to be neutral. But it doesn’t mean that I didn’t learn from it or I’ll just going to be contented with it. In fact, it inspired me to do better and practice as much as I can, knowing that my classmates will choose me for the ignite speech.
