Third Year Speech Festival

"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end"

Our Speech Fest started the moment the piece was given.
Before everything else happened our teacher (Ms. Dizon-Phan) told us that she will treat all the section she is handling even though only one wins. We started saying "Go Eleven!" Because we were just that amused with treats.

It's so amazing how that humorous approach lead us to something we never expected, but wished -- to win.
Along the days that we practiced, no serious improvement could be seen each time the day passed. There were only minimal improvements, but it was never that good.

Not until we were triggered.
It was Thursday, four days more before the eliminations. We were allowed to practice during our English period.
We were messed up. That lead our teacher to scold us. Not really scold as in be angry with us, she just faced us to the horrible reality.

That helped us to stand and prove her that "Hey, were more than this."

During the following practice, sometimes I took my time to look around my classmates, I see their faces with full of emotions! I realized that each and everyone of them was doing their part. SO GREAT. Friday and Saturday practice went well. Although only a few went to the Saturday practice. It was still worth it.

As Monday came, I entered the room and they were practicing. Our leader (Maita) is some kind of frustrated for we kind of forgot some intonations. That frustration of hers made us more concentrated. "Kailangan pa bang magalit para maayos ninyo?" Frankly, part of it was yes. But we all know it would be better if isn't.

During the Eliminations, I felt nervous and my hands started to get cold.
As we performed, I can feel that we are doing our best.
I did not expect to win though.
I only thought we did great.

Then at the moment they announced that we did win, I can hear screams of JOY from all of us. No one was left silent! I think Regine did scream or something. HAHA.

We won along side 3-11.
That means the 2 third year class that Ms. is handling, won. GREAT! HAHA.

And there was a line our teacher told 3-11 (because it was their English period and we did not have English after lunch).

"Dapat pala......"

Now we'll just keep that line in ourselves.
Just because.

:D

During our prayer of thanks to God (we also Pray before we performed), one of my classmates said (I think it was Aina) "Thanks for giving us a second chance."

Truly I believe that was some second chance.
It's hard to open your mind and understand what everyone wants.
And it's hard to give your all.

But because of some dedication and the want to prove that we're not just that, the second chance was formed to move us forward.

:D

I may sound over reacting all through out.
But it just conveys what I really feel.
That I'm proud and overjoyed.

CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK 3-10!
