“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work” (Collin Powel). In my first years of high school I started participate on the spelling bee contest. These contests __has__ been celebrate every year on my high school. I thought a lot to be in the contest because I have never been in something similar before. Then, I decided to try this challenge. It was difficult because I got nervous, so I __fail__ at the beginning. I did not pass to the second round because of that. The vocabulary was not difficult; I think that the first contest vocabulary was easier than the others; even the last one vocabulary. I thought __that for the inexperience__ __on these contest__s I did not make a good job. But then I realized that the perseverance and the other attempts, and of course the experience that I got before helped me a lot. Consequently, for this hard work I won the first place at the spelling bee contest, in my last year of high school. It was my last attempt.

I have never tried participating in a contest of any type. So, when my English teacher told me that I could take part of the last spelling bee I understand that I could have my last chance. She made a call for all the students that want to join the spelling bee group because we had to start practice the vocabulary early. First, all of us had to be prepared for the pre-qualifying to select the best two that will represent our school. Everyday, after classes, we had to put into practice the words and performance something related to a fake contest. When the pre-eliminatory arrived, I was very anxious. All the time, I just kept in mind that this had to be my last opportunity to show the effort that I can do to everyone, even to myself. In consequence, I won the pre-eliminatory along with one of my classmates. Both will represent our high school on the final dispute. As soon as the contest came my feelings were invading all my body. Round by round, I started leaving all the competitors behind of me. Then, the final round was there only me and another girl. Unexpectedly, the girl got a mistake and she was automatically disqualified. At the end, I was named the official winner of the 8th spelling bee contest.

Thanks to those contests, I learned a lot about my mistakes. The most important event and experience for that is that I lost all my fears to be in front of a lot of people. Since that day, I became in a secure person with more confidence. It helps me a lot, the contests made huge changes in my life in the good way. As a result for effort, perseverance, hard working, and determination can develop our skills; so, that work helps me a lot to be the first one in my school to win the first place at an important contest.
