Actively participate, put in the effort, and ultimately succeed in being selected.
——Preface
The scorching sun blazes.
Although the hot air is beating against my body, it still cannot extinguish my enthusiasm to sign up for the recitation competition.
Sitting in the classroom, the teacher is announcing the list of students who signed up for the competition, and yes, as expected, my name is on the list!
To prepare well for this competition, I have made ample preparations.
After school in the evening, to write a good recitation script, I gathered a lot of materials, selected and reviewed them repeatedly, and wrote and rewrote, my pen dancing swiftly on the paper. The process of choosing music was not very smooth either; many pieces did not match my recitation theme; listen once, listen again. After several days, I finally prepared everything needed for the initial stage.
At this moment, it is midsummer. Practicing recitation in such a hot environment is undoubtedly a challenging task.
There is not a hint of freshness in the hot air. Looking around, the earth emits waves of heat. I stand in the shade, holding my script, passionately rehearsing, with beads of sweat rolling down my cheeks. Although I am very hot right now, the more it gets to this point, the more I cannot give up; I must persist. Every day, I can see the figures striving for this competition under that tree shade.
After more than ten days, the competition finally began. With so many people, my heart grew increasingly tense, thinking, "What should I do? So many participants, they must have practiced better than I have, what should I do? It's okay, I have prepared for this competition for so long and put in so much effort; I will definitely succeed!"
"Number 34! It's your turn! Hurry up and go in." The invigilator shouted at me.
The spotlight shines on me. I take a deep breath and perform in my best state from these past few days. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the invigilator showing a satisfied smile.
A few days later, I received a medal, a gold medal! I was overjoyed, unable to describe my happiness. I finally succeeded in being selected!
Yes, actively signing up, as long as we have this heart and strive hard, we will ultimately succeed!
Final score for this essay: 41/50
