I think yesterday was one of the best days of my life. Why? Well, laast month, my art teacher had the advanced art students, since the classes are composed of both regular and advanced, create something for the National PTA contest "Beauty is..."

What we had to do was draw, paint, write, or compose something of what we think that is beautiful. Then, we had to write down why did we think of what we made is beautiful. I painted a moonlit night of the ocean and a person standing on a cliff, looking at the stars. I was planning to post the finished work on here, but I forgot to and is currently being displaying in my school's main office.

Yesterday, I, along with some other students from the same period art class, were called to the front office and were each handed an envelope. I opened it and I got 2nd place!!! 2nd place! Out of the whole country! There were more people that got second place as well, since it is national, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw the certificate! I really doubted myself, because there are a lot of great artists, some that are even at a higher level than where I am, but I feel so confident now since I got 2nd! I will definitely work extremely hard on all of my requests during the Thanksgiving weekend! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And thank you all, for watching this hard-working blue dragon! ^.=.^
