I haven't done that many activities that made me feel truly proud. But I have been involved in a lot of sports and extracurricular activities at my school. I even hosted two of the biggest events during my time there. I was really proud of myself because no matter how much pressure I was under, I was able to handle it all. I managed to do everything in a neat and organized way, and everyone around me was happy. I was so proud of myself, and I loved how everything turned out. This happened during the Diwali decorations at my school. It was during the last year, on the 16th of October, the day the decorations were done in our classrooms. Each class was given a specific theme to represent. Our theme was related to migration, which is a common topic in India, as many people migrate to other countries, including myself. We had to decorate our classroom wall with things related to the theme. We used various materials, and it looked really good. I was asked to give a speech on behalf of my class in front of the principal and the dean of the school. I hadn't prepared anything, so whatever I was going to say would be on the spot. It had to be impressive so that our class could win the inter-class competition. All my teachers, especially my class teacher and classmates, were really happy and supportive. They said, "Yes, you need to do this, and we need to win." All their expectations and hopes were on me, and I felt a lot of pressure. Not in a bad way, but I felt like everything depended on me, and I needed to perform well to win. When the principal and the teachers entered our classroom, we greeted them with a "Happy Diwali." Then, I started my speech, explaining each picture we had put up on the wall and everything we had done to emphasize the idea we wanted to convey. Everyone was really impressed, and they wouldn't stop clapping and praising me. Two of my best friends were especially enthusiastic. They said, "Wow, you did it! You did a great job, and we're really proud of you." That made me feel amazing.
