Veteran's Day Assembly

On Friday the 8th, I was told that my Patriots Pen essay had won 1st in local. We had to write the essay about "What Patriotism Means to Me." Monday was our Veterans Day assembly and I had to read my essay then. If you know me at all, you know that I DO NOT like to do anything in front of a crowd. I was so nervous, so all that weekend I practiced my speech. On Monday I was even more nervous at school. Finally, at 1:30 we were called down to the gym to the assembly. When the lady announced my name to come up and read my speech, I was shaking. The entire time I was reading, my hands were shaking, I was sweating, and my face was red. After I was done reading, I was SO relieved! It also made me feel a lot better because I found out I won $75! I can win even more too, if I win district or state. I hope I never have to do something like that again!
