In my life

was my toy. I have many special childhood memories but some are very special to me. It
happened to me when I was in the 7th grade. I used to write the poems when I was 11 years old. I
wrote many poems in my childhood. My grandfather, a famous songwriter, always encouraged
me to be a good poet. He used to say, “I like your poem. One day you will be a great poet.” On
Friday, May 7, 2003, the weather was really nice. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but I
was nervous because I was going to participate in a poem competition. I wrote a poem about
“patriotism” to take part in it. There were about 90 participants. Perhaps, I was the smallest one
because most of the competitors were from class 9 and 10. I didn’t believe it, but I received the
first prize in that competition. I had a great day in my life with many interesting experiences.
