Thursday, March 8, 2012 (Poetry Contest)

Miracle always happens in fairy tales, but not in real life. Still, the result is too amazing to be true. It's seriously true. I can't believe that some day, some point in my life, I will really have a chance to address my poem to the school. I can't believe that it's me who is going to recite a poem. Unfortunately, I am sick. Almost had a fever. I have a sore throat and keep coughing. I can't even speak properly and can't help but cough constantly. How am I supposed to recite a poem if I am seriously illed? How can I read my poem out loud with a weak, vulnerable voice? I feel sad for my poor voice and sincerely hope that I can recover soon. Yeah, very SOON. I am really thankful to join the poetry contest, but I feel bad for my friend since I know that she is eager to join the contest and has written a super long poem. I actually wonder why do the judges prefer a gloomy poem. Since I get to join the contest, I will do my best. I will get rid of my phobia of public speaking and speak slowly and softly. No matter what the result is, I will make best efforts because it's a precious experience.
