Public Speaking Competition: A moment to remember or not?

   After a nightmare last night that I couldn't even remember, I rose from bed thinking what time it is. I went to my PDA to check the time and its 7:28 in the morning. Still tired, I went to bed again but at the same time memorizing my speech for the competition later on.

  I was preoccupied so much that I didn't realize what time I left my house. Luckily, I got my mom to send me until to the gate, where I always pass from school to home and vice versa. As I was inside the car, I eventually check the time and it was 9:33 on her clock. I was surprised that's why I asked her if it's the right time and she replied yes.

   We are already at the gate, I went down and we say each other a goodbye. After I went out from the gate, I was having a thought that it was only a lie, because I always caught her doing so that's why I kinda doubt her respond. Nullifying my thoughts, I just rushed my steps to the polluted environment, where cars and smoker's smokes were combined suffocating me literally, that's why I always need to cover my mouth and nose whenever I walk there. Unfortunately, that's not the end of the everyday nightmare, well it depends what time I leave the house but it's always sunny anyway so I'm always sweaty both from school and home.

   When I'm in the school already the first thing I did was check the clock. It was already 9:40. I rushed my way to the 10th floor hoping that I could see some people. I'm still sweating that added up to the stress, I hope APC could provide air conditioner everywhere inside the campus. Then I saw a note that says "Head to the auditorium", I rushed my way to the auditorium. I rapidly looked for my fellow contestants who are participating with me in the competition. My blockmate told me to go to 7th floor Discussion Room B, but they also told me that I might be already disqualified, I was like "such a thoughtful of them", it came to my mind that they expect me to go down but I had enough thinking for today, so once again I rushed my way down. I was already sweating; my heart is pumping out because I also hope I'm not disqualified yet for being 10 minutes late.



   I entered the wrong room. I was assigned in Discussion Room A, well it's my fault for being late. I nervously went in hoping for the word "Chance" because I really want to be on stage. Luckily, they let me had my speech but unfortunately I didn't made it to the finals. In addition, I was called by the wrong name that made me feel worst.


   I looked back to the things I've done before. I asked myself, why? I only slaughtered a bit and had few grammatical errors. I think I did great but oh well, it's their lost anyway for not having me as a finalist, I could have done better if I’m one, but sad to say they like dramas, which I didn't apply to my speech because as much as possible I want to give people positive vibes. That's the thing I've observed from the judges based on the contestants they've chosen. They like "Dramas" and I hate "Dramas". Well guest what? It played well. Next time, I'll show more than a "Drama"...........Tragic.
