Just failed to achieve something? Did not get the thing that you used to always dream about?
For about two months, I was sad because of something that I couldn't achieve.
I had always wanted to dub in the school play. When I was in standard six(my first experience of annual function in this school), I was pretty new to plays and dubbing. But, in standard seven, I wanted to dub. I wasn't much into speaking in public and we didn't have auditions then. So, I ended up being in the choir.
We didn't have the annual function in standard eight. But, towards the end of standard eight, I began doing something new, i,e, participating in public speaking competitions. It was a great feeling. I really enjoy speaking and it gives me a lot of joy.
This time I really wanted to dub. It was my aim. I used to think about it day and night. We had auditions this year. Ma'am really liked the way I spoke. So did my friends and classmates. I thought I was in. Just when my bubble was getting formed, it burst.
I wasn't selected! Reason : I was in the choir and so selecting me would be like stepping on the toes of the choir co-ordinator. It was heart-breaking. And I am not exaggerating. I cried so many times. I used to sulk half the time!
After several days I came to know through one of the dubbers that ma'am had a misconception. She was thinking that I was chosen as the lead singer!!
But, before I had come to know about this misconception, something wonderful had happened to me! Another teacher approached me. She wanted me to become the emcee for one of the events. Back then, I was blind to the importance of becoming the emcee.
But, now that the annual function is just two days away, I have understood and realised that being the emcee is such a fun thing. It's a new experience for me. A wonderful one!
I failed for a reason. I didn't become a dubber for a reason. And today I realised that the reason was good! :)
