1. I read about the contest about the 1st CALA folio. There is a category about literature. At first, I did not pay attention to it because I do not believe in my writing skills. I told my friends about the contest and they said that I should give it a try. At first, I was reluctant to join, but I said to myself that winning is not always h result in every competition and giving it a try will not a disadvantage. After reading my entry, my friends said: “Ipasa mo yan! May pag-asa ka.” At that moment, my hesitations dies and a fire of competition burned inside me. It is like I am suddenly filled with will and determination to win the contest.
2. When I am passing my type-written version of my story, they informed me that I have to sign up first for the competition. And so I did. I noticed that there is a theme (growing pains) for the competition. I started to feel bad because I am not informed that there is a theme in the said contest. I wrote my short story months ago and I do not intend to join any writing competition back then. When I told my friends that the competition has a theme, they all said: “Kaya mo pa rin manalo! Ang ganda kaya nung iyo. Saka may relevance sa theme.”
I still passed my entry for the competition. But I do not expect to win because I do not know that there is a theme beforehand. I still passed my work for them to know that I can write stories and to share with everybody. Until now, I do not know who actually won the contest or when the results will be released. But there is one thing that I learned about the competition. It is to believe in myself in what ever I do.
