Just a few weeks ago, I have recently joined a national essay writing contest. My friends, Dani and Kat, has convinced me several times to join the competition, even though the stakes of winning is completely low.

Now I know I have been completely detesting the ideas and it took a lot of pursuing, I actually thought about the winning and stuff.

Winning first place you get P10, 000 (that's approximately $250 dollars) and a plaque of recognition for your school. Now that's actually very rewarding. I thought about how much I would spend if I would win that much money and that much appreciation from my fellow countrymen and schoolmates.

But, as I have stated before, I would have a low chance of winning. I am up against several high school students that may or may not be more gifted than me. If I win, that would be such a miracle that I might die from shock.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

But I can't help but try my best to win, you know? I admit that I'm not quite the essay writer or even the writer, but chances are chances. Why not take this opportunity? I might win, but I guess I don't know. If I never took it, then I would probably never know if I win.

So in short, it tests my capability and my confidence (as I've stated before, I have very, very low confidence).

Hopefully when I win (even just the third place) I'll buy lots of clothes. And start a "modelling" clothes and post them here.

Wow, I sure can dream. But hey, pray for me, okay? I really want to win. But I'm not forcing you or anything, I just need all the help I can get.

Thanks.
