Feels good

I recently took part in a stock pitch competition with two of my AG mates and we got third place. I really thought we couldn't win anything cus during the pitch I was extremely nervous. My heart was beating so fast, I kept telling myself to keep calm and present but to no avail. End up my presentation was very choppy, like I was speaking with no intonation. One of my group mate stumbled as well. We felt really bad after pitch as we knew we won't win anything with our substandard pitch.

During the announcement of winners, they started from the 4th - 8th place. We were very happy when we weren't included but I couldn't believe it! So yeah, third place.


$300 for the 2nd runners up

Me with the cheque and plague. If only our pitch hadn't screwed up, could we have gotten a higher placing? Nevertheless I was happy.

Really glad I chose to take part in this competition. I thought I should be more proactive in pursuing the things I like to do and I got rewarded.

I have never really won anything in my student life. I was never good in sports or particularly smart in any academic subjects to win anything. For the last year of my student life, I managed to win something and it feels good. The next day I woke up in a good mood too. It's a good confidence booster for the things I'm going through right now. 

Hoping it's the start of good happenings in my life.
