Well, participating in competition of Alma Mater not only helped and visual to rise their confidence level but also they can show their talent front of other and today I would like to talk about a particular activity which I did when I was in school. I remembered when I was in 10th standard my teacher insisted me in order to take part in speech competition. Honestly, although nowadays I am being amiable person I like to meet with people whether that is my relatives or stranger like it allowed me to be familiar with new perspective and human character which further make me socialize but at that time I was very shy person therefore I overlooked the conversation of my teacher to participate in the drawing activity because I felt like if I participated in this competition then I had to confront various people in the form of audience which could decrease my confidence level but as my mentor told me everyone must take part in this activity because it was a medan tree by principle. So finally I wrote my name on the list of participants. I remembered exactly I was very tensed regarding how I could paint and which painting helped me to win first prize and these thoughts I shared with my brother he helped me a lot. Firstly he recommended me I should paint something regarding the trees like nowadays a number of people cut the tree for their purpose like some really want to erect a building and some for other purpose and I should show in the painting if the trees will not exist then what problem could we rise and which bad factor can be on our environment so I followed his conversation and I paint a luring painting in which I show a person who have various diseases and also not a suitable environment which occurred due to the lack of trees so finally I won’t say at that time.

Well, participating in the competition of Alma Mater not only helped to visually raise their confidence level but also allowed them to show their talent in front of others. Today, I would like to talk about a particular activity I did when I was in school. I remember when I was in 10th standard, my teacher insisted that I take part in a speech competition. Honestly, although nowadays I am an amiable person who likes to meet people, whether they are relatives or strangers, which allows me to be familiar with new perspectives and human character, at that time I was a very shy person. Therefore, I overlooked my teacher's conversation about participating in the drawing activity because I felt that if I participated in this competition, I would have to confront various people in the form of an audience, which could decrease my confidence level. However, my mentor told me that everyone must take part in this activity because it was a mandatory principle. So finally, I wrote my name on the list of participants. I remember exactly that I was very tense about how I could paint and which painting would help me win first prize. I shared these thoughts with my brother, and he helped me a lot. Firstly, he recommended that I should paint something regarding trees, as nowadays many people cut down trees for various purposes, like erecting buildings. I should show in the painting that if trees do not exist, then what problems could arise and what negative factors could affect our environment. So I followed his advice and painted a compelling piece in which I depicted a person suffering from various diseases and an unsuitable environment caused by the lack of trees. So finally, I won first prize at that time.
