An unforgettable thing

I used to be a very timid, introverted girl who spoke very little when she spoke. She never dared to speak loudly in front of others, let alone actively participate in some school-organized activities. I remember that when I was in the first grade, the class teacher Niu teacher announced that in a few days, the school would launch the "Story King Speech Contest", and everyone can sign up voluntarily. After class, the students flocked to and actively signed up for the teacher. I didn't go around. I was timid. Second, I was not interested in this matter. I felt bored. After returning home from school, I told my mother about this and made clear to her that I would not go to the competition. I didn’t expect my mother to calmly say, “Why don’t you go? This speech contest is just a great opportunity to train you! Tomorrow, you must sign up for the teacher! Don’t be afraid, don’t have a few days to prepare. Mom? I’m going to practice with you!” Although I have thousands of tens of thousands who don’t want to, I don’t want to see my mother’s angry look, so I have to follow my mother’s orders. After that, my mother carefully selected the speech of the story contest for me, one minute, three minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour, one hour... Mom finally found a satisfactory information, hey, it turned out to be a funny fairy tale. Story: "Pony Crossing the River."

After dinner, my mother asked me to try to read this story with emotions several times. After I read it, let me carry it back. I read it over and over again before I put this story back. Then, I tried to add gestures, plus movements, I tried it several times, dozens of times, the movements and gestures were not perfected, and the story became more and more incoherent. In order not to let my mother down, I did I didn't give up because of this, and I trained patiently and patiently every day. Hard work pays off, and after a few days, I can finally make this story perfect.

The time passed is really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is time for the official game. I saw the contestants and some parents around the stadium. There were four serious judges sitting in the center. There were several editors of this story contest standing on the side. I don’t know what was being discussed, and there was a nervous smell around them. I think: In the face of so many people, what should I do? If something goes wrong, it will be big! I comforted myself while thinking about the plot of the story. The game started, I sat down on the player's seat and started watching. I saw these players slap in the air and took out their own housekeeping skills. They won the praises of everyone, and I also learned some experience from them. It’s my turn to play, but this is the first time I have told a story in front of so many people! My heart slammed and I made a few deep breaths, and my mood slowly calmed down. When the host said, "Please let Ding Xinyu from class 1.2 tell us the story of "Pony Crossing the River"", I have already controlled my nervous emotions and faced the game with a calm mind. I walked up with a smile, took a nap, introduced myself, and began to tell stories. In the process of telling stories, my voice loudly made the plot of the story vivid and won a round of applause. At this moment, when the warm applause continues to ring in my ear, I feel extremely proud inside, ah! I finally defeated the timidity!

After all, it was the first time I participated in such a competition. In the process of telling the story, because the tone was not very good, I didn’t get the award, but it gave me confidence, overcome my timidity, and accumulated valuable experience. Through this incident, I understand: Every first time in a person's life experience, regardless of success and failure, the impact on you is very important. This incident has become the most beautiful page in my book of life, which is so unforgettable!
