Prompt: Elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities.

The moderator begins. The words fall into place; "short stories"----"London slum"----then finally, "...author of Liza of Lambeth." I buzz in without thinking; the reader looks at me questioningly.
"Maugham?"
"Correct!"
Cheers go up from around me, the sounds of my Brain Bowl teammates' exultations. Even the captain of our team, normally stoic, is all smiles as he tells his friend, "We won because of the best buzz ever!" As we leave the room, I breathe a huge sigh of relief.
In that instant, I saw potency in my own knowledge as clearly as I saw my teammates' capabilities. As we left the room, I knew that we could do anything we set out to---and I was right. That win led to another, and another, until that glorious day when we won our district championship.
