Literary Contest Reflection

The thing about writing is the extensive possibilities that it possess. With everything new that is written newly found material with a new sea of memories and thoughts surfaces. Writing represents ourselves and therefore most of our work will be able to define in words our current state of attitude and even mind. The opportunity to participate in the literary contest was a fulfilling one because of being able to admire just how others can influence you and at the same time motivate you to become the type of writer that you want to be. It can help you understand yourself more so that at the end of the day what you write represent great value which is the most valuable price.

Throughout the journey to write something authentic you face many obstacles. After overcoming them, you're left with the finished masterpiece. At any ceremony we are able to marble at how each winner shows various emotions that were such different in little aspects. This also tells us about how people tend to differ at almost everything and the writing does too. Some might have wrote about love, others about fears or even things without meaning. This just sums up how there's no greater prize than a love for your own work.

First place or even fourth place doesn't matter. Your work might not be the best when judged by others but this does not matter since your love for your own work makes you a greater writer. Therefore what I found out about how I felt when speaking about the ceremony just left me wondering how much being recognize brings. Yes, the love from others might make you feel head over heels but nothing compared to the one you borrow to your work. At the end of the day none of this will be able to be achieved without it.

Even though it turned out to be a completely bittersweet opportunity since I was not able to attend the ceremony because of a great lack in my communication skills. Still I learned something from not being able to attend, like for example thinking things in a deeper manner and at the same time to not rely on others to complete tasks that you're capable of completing yourself. After all I did some harm to the audience by not sending out the message clearly of my absence which could've been skipped with just the use of the utilities that we possess to be clear about the whole situation. Indeed it was my fault and surfaced to me a calling so that in the future will never happen again.
