Today I was very excited because it was a very big day for me. Our school (Deerwalk Sifal School) took us to a grand competition. At first there was a selection round in our school to decide who was going to take part in the competition. The competition was held at DAV school located at Jawalakhel, Lalitpur. In the selection round, I, Jiya, Niharika and Pranjal were selected. We were feeling very happy. It was Wednesday. There was also a dance competition in which our school was participating. My friend Smriti and two sisters from grade 9 were selected in the dance competition. Our respected teacher Tej Sir called us early in the morning that day. We practiced a lot and were ready. We reached DAV school at 9 AM. We were bit nervous but we were very happy. We knew that our Sanskrit teacher Mahadev Sir had also taught in that school. In the hall there were many school and gurukuls. There were many competitions but our school took part in Sanskrit Shlok and Dance. Our turn came in the 4th or 5th round. There were many gurukuls who recited better than us. But we did not lose hope. After the competition was over we all went to have lunch. We all enjoyed the food and went to the Buddha Hall. It was very big. The announcement was made. In the dance competition, our school secured second position. And there were many announcements and lectures by many scholars. We enjoyed listening to them. And then there was an announcement of the Shlokas competition. We did not secure any position. All other gurukuls secured some positions. But still we were all happy because we participated in the big competition. Then we all returned to our school. From the event, we learnt that we should always respect the Sanskrit language. We should all study Sanskrit.
