Contests excite me and this time I decided to participate in International Speech Contest. So I was nominated for it. Getting a topic for a speech has been always a challenge for me. I was in search of the right topic. But suddenly a professional commitment broke in, which was scheduled to happen on the day of the contest. Now I was in dilemma whether or not I would be able to prepare it. so I told VPEd TM Hrishikesh that due to my professional commitment I want to cancel my nominations. He said you have time till the actual contest. I said ok. I made up my mind and spoke with my boss about the contest. When I told her about the contest, she was very happy and immediately said, you should not back out, go for it.
Real challenge was ahead, now only 5 days were left for the contest, and I was not having any topic. After thinking a lot, I finally got a suitable topic. Now my speech was almost ready, but only two days were left for the contest. I was not sure whether I will be able to prepare it. I was preparing till last moment. And finally I successfully delivered my speech.

Friends, the reason behind writing all this is that we are always worried till things happen, and because of this we keep on postponing it. Initially, I was not getting the topic, but then suddenly another problem arose. But now I am very happy that I participated in the contest and didn ’t back out. It is not about winning or losing the contest, it is about learning through experiences and improving for our better selves. Though I was hesitant before the contest, after the contest I was glad that I participated in it. So the next time when there is a club contest, please don ’t hesitate to participate in it. Just go for it.
