Topic: The Best Day Of My Life

I will never forget the precious day that I won my first scholarship in high school. It was in my home country(Cameroon) in 2001. That previous year, I had been working so hard and at the end of the the semester, I got a successful score of 96%. So I was promoted with the other clever students to the next level. I was so excited and so did my parents. The following year, I started the first semester with determination to do well as I always do. One day, at the end of the semester, the head master came in our classroom and informed us that the list of the scholarship winners was available in his office.
We went there to check the list. I was a little scare but with surprise, I saw my name between the fifteen names. Wow ! I shouted and jumped until my head knocked the ceiling. I couldn't believe. We went back in the classroom but thirty minutes later, I returned to the office in order to make sure that the name I saw was my real name. Of cause, it was mine.
Wining 40.000francs(equivalent of 80 American dollars) was a real dream. I had never had that opportunity. When I went back home, I couldn't sleep that Friday night and my family too. One week later, our school's head master gave me the check that I cashed and saved to buy my school supplies, uniform, and tuition for the next year. I was the first person in my family to win a scholarship. My father congratulated me and recommended to my junior brothers to follow that example by studying seriously at school.
In conclusion, Friday 10/15/01 is the best day of my life because when I think of it, I still dream to see how cheerful I was after wining a sum of money that i had ever had.
