My birthday party. Essay compiled by Ryan Muzamhindo Age: 12 Grade 6 pupil Dugwiza Primary School St Mary’s Chitungwiza

It was a beautiful day , the weather was as cool as a cucumbear. It was my birthday and on that day I was on cloud nine. Everything seemed beautiful on that day . “ What a lovely day” I said to myself, I was turning 11 years old . My father had promised me a very big birthday party so when I woke up everyone was busy making preparations for the party.

A huge blue decorated tent with blue & white balloons , ribbons and beautiful flowers was mounted. Just looking at the decorations while waiting for the function to start made me cry in tears of joy.

When the event started the tent was booming with music and and there were many people standing in a neat line waiting to enter the tent with all kinds of presents.

Everyone then took their sits and my father gave a welcome speech to make everyone comfortable. The DJ started to play music and everyone started dancing happily. I made sure I gave the DJ a list of my favorite songs to play as I wanted all my favourite songs to be played on that day, it was after all my day.

One of my cousin named Michael won the best dancer prize that day, he danced to Michael Jackson’s song titled Thriller and everyone for a moment believed Michael Jackson was alive and the one dancing on stage. His moves were smooth stylish and the boys that were there tried to imitate him but failed. I thought I was going to be the best dancer that day but my cousin won instead. Because of the children and my friends’ screams as Michael danced, the noise attracted some passbys and there were crowded by the durall trying to peep through to see what was happening, we tried to chase them but failed, we ended up inviting them, we had plenty of food that day to feed everyone at least.

The party was live again, and we had so much fun, we had dancing and eating competitions.

After sometime the MC grabbed the microphone and announced to everyone that it was time for presents, that day I got many presents , even the uninvited guests ended up giving me presents too in cash.

That year I got many presents and I was very happy. I also made new friends on that day, it was the best day of my life.

Lastly I was given a microphone to say a few words, I was shy at first but because of the cheering I was getting from friends and my cousins I was bold enough to say a speech that had everyone clapping, I also thanked my father for a lovely birthday party and I bid everyone a farewell and I told the waitress there to give all the visitors sweets as they left.
