When I was in fourth grade there was a chess tournament
being held on municipal hall, at first I was not interested joining the tournament I changed my mind when I heard there is a prize money. I hurriedly told my mother that I wanna join the tournament. (The day of the tournament) I was so excited and nervous at the same time. At that time I repeatedly said to myself that “I can do this” for 10 minutes till I lost track of time, I was super nervous that my opponent might be pro. Luckily my Mom was there to give me advice to always deep breath when I get nervous. I was thankful to my Mom for helping. (The game has started) The game has started and I manage to keep myself calm. My first opponent is a 30 year old man and it was my first win, I gained my confidence. The game has ended my score was 6 win and 3 lose. I barely manage to get the 3rd place and I was happy about it even I was just placed in 3rd place atleast I got the prize money and a trophy. I give the half to my Mom as a thanks for helping me.
