My father said that

By MARCUS CARTERPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

My father said that I was a very good child, but it was a lack of confidence, my mother also said that I was a beautiful and kind girl, but I was not confident, and I always felt that I could not do what I had the ability to do. However, a recent incident has given me a boost of confidence. Once in piano class, the teacher handed my mother a registration form and said that an art competition would be held in a few days for me to participate. After listening to the mother happily took over the registration form, picked up the pen was about to fill, I quickly waved my hands and bowed my head and said: "Don't fill, don't fill, I can't!" My mother said to me earnestly, "You can do it! This is a "great opportunity" to exercise your guts. Do attend. Then he did not hesitate to fill in the registration form, but also said that as long as the name can not easily quit, in addition to some emergency or sick fever, other are not good, I had to shyly agreed. On the day of the competition, I went to the arena in a nervous and fearful mood and put up my sign with the contestants' notes, name, gender, category, major and number. My number was "B5079" and when it was my turn, my palms were sweaty. I nervously walked up to the stage and started playing. In the process of playing, my heart is very nervous, the head is a little dizzy, after playing I breathed a sigh of relief off the stage. A few days later, the result of the race came out. Aaargh! I got 285 points, silver! It was unexpected. I was so happy. After the piano lesson on Sunday, I got my medal and certificate from my teacher. Looking at the prize I got, I was so excited that I almost cried, although I was one point short of winning the gold medal, but I was already very satisfied. Since winning this award, I understand that we can not do anything without confidence, with confidence, with patience, not halfway to success. I finally realized I was growing up!The first time is what everyone has, and what everyone needs, the first time in life is the most important, and every first time is a new beginning. Remember that time: my father took time out of his busy schedule and took me to Yao Mountain to play rafting. We've got supplies for the road. The next morning we set out, on the way I looked at the beautiful scenery, the mood is better, after a few hours to reach the destination. Woah! There are so many people! It is really a sea of people, my father went to the ticket office to buy tickets, told me to wait for him in situ. After a while, it was bought, and we went in. The staff gave us a raft, told us to go up, and when we were stable, we pushed hard and pushed into the water. The water around there is calm, the lake is like a mirror, and when we quickly enter the current speed zone, the water is not called fast, it is called very fast, and the guy can fall into the water without paying attention. We were under a landslide, heading down the fast-moving river, yay! There was a whirlpool ahead, and I clung to the rope on the raft. Woah! Too cool, was a cool water, more spirit, dad also flushed, because the whirlpool did not make me miserable, I relaxed my guard, there are several downhill and whirlpool in front of me, I shouted happily, one by one, but to the last one, I suddenly fell into the water, thanks to my learning to swim, I swam in the water. I grabbed the raft my dad was sitting on, and I was a little amused to see how panicked he looked. Dad pulled me up, in this way, I was very vigilant to sit on it, but after a while, the raft leaked, fortunately there are staff next to us, pulled us to the side of the road, to fix the raft for us, and after a while, the raft was repaired, after two. After the adventure, my father and I understood the safety measures, and in the safe drift, we drove to the end. So, what, my first adventure?
