Whenever anyone achieves anything, he or she is very proud of it. There are several tasks that I have performed, but there is this specific one that I am very proud of. The task was participating in a fancy dress competition at school and also winning the first prize for that. Actually, when I was in 5th standard, our school announced that there was going to be a competition held on Children's Day, on the birthday of our first Prime Minister, Doctor Jawaharlal Nehru, who was known to have been fond of children. When one of my classmates chose to participate, I also got excited and decided that I would also take part. It was quite challenging for me because I am a calm and shy person who dislikes talking and performing on stage or in front of many people. However, my friends and my tutor encouraged me to do it and they believed that I was capable of doing it. I chose to dress up as Miss India. It was difficult to collect ideas for the speech, but one of my neighbors, Mr. Ricky, helped me. He prepared a full speech for me because at that time, I was not able to prepare it by myself. I tried my best to train harder. I also purchased the right gown to wear for the role of Miss India.
