I was really proud of myself when I got a lot of A's on my exams. It made my parents proud of me. Another time I was proud was when I won a medal at the school's sports day. It made my family proud and it felt like a win for our whole house. I love feeling proud of myself because it means I've practiced hard. Practice makes perfect, and I hope I can keep practicing and winning medals at sports day.
