The Day I Took the Spotlight

By Pahal – Grade 5The constellation of scintillating stars departed welcoming the colossal blistering orb with open arms. The euphonic chirps of the volery of birds resonated in my ears like music. 

Today was my last day of practising steps as the next day  was my dance competition. My teacher , Ms.Pranjali is going to teach me all the steps as a revision. I woke up at the crack of dawn, I wore my costume . My costume was a pink dress with luminous stars with a head gear and I sprinted like a deer  to the dance competition hall. I was the 12th candidate. There were three jubilant judges. Finally my chance arrived and I grabbed  the spotlight and danced nicely . The judges had a wide grin plastered on their cherubic faces. There was  trophy which was fulgid and covered with gold, a medal and a certificate. The results came and I had butterflies in my stomach . My body was full of perspiration , my heart skipped a beat and my palms were sweating as the wet floor on a rainy day. The judges earnestly announced the names and I had won the first prize. I was on cloud nine and my heart brimmed with ecstasy. I had burnt the midnight oil and won an attractive trophy. I was as proud as a peacock and went back home with good memories. My teacher, Ms. Pranjali who was my stepping stone for this trophy was also jubilant. I gifted her something which she wanted , a new pair of shoes and I bought one for me too. My mom and dad also showered me with presents and this was my memorable day.
