"Yes!" I shouted in excitement, I had been selected for giving a speech on how government can improve education system in rural areas at Pakistan national assembly, without any doubt this was a very important occasion in my life. Out of 200 students it was me who was selected. Obviously after my name was called out by my principle there were many jealous faces that I saw among the students. Even the teachers were surprised, because I was not one of the best at giving speeches. But I had to prove all of them wrong,
Immediately after reaching home I informed my parents, who were thrilled to hear this amazing news. Though my speech was more than a month later, I had started my preparations the same day. After days and days of hard-work I finally came up with the perfect speech. The month flew by practicing and the day finally arrived...
Tring....!!! , went the piercing alarm bell, and I jumped off my bed hurriedly. "Today is my day", I uttered to myself. I put on my favorite Zara suit and went tearing down the stairs. After eating a healthy breakfast, I, with my whole family, headed to the national affairs. As we approached I saw that the school administration had already arrived. "I can do this", I tried to reassure myself. As we entered the hall, we were welcomed warmly by some of the ministers. A cold chill ran down my spine when my name was called out by the honorable speaker. My legs shivered, I stood frozen, my heart was in my mouth and I thought I would faint any minute. The whole crowd stared at me as I walked up the stage and I could hear my heart beating inside my ribcage, "its just another speech Hassan", I muttered to myself in nervousness. As I started the speech everything went fine. For the first few seconds I was really nervous but gradually as I gained confidence, my speech became even better. It was pleasing and encouraging to see the proud faces of my parents and my teachers who had supported and helped me in enhancing my speaking skills.
With sheer confidence I walked off the stage and was congratulated by the honorable speaker and other ministers present. I felt extremely ecstatic to see my parents and my principle overjoyed after my speech. "You have done it son", my father exclaimed in excitement and hearing this, a smile of satisfaction spread across my face. If my dad was proud of me, I was proud of myself!
