Date: 29th August 2018 I went to DAV school, Jawalakhel, Lalitpur for Slok and a dance competition. I was very excited to go there. I heard so many things about the school which is very big, has many halls and has more than 3000 students. It was exactly as same as what I heard when I reached there. Some of the halls were for orientation, some for music and dance competition, and some for prize distributions. Also, there were rules like taking off shoes while getting inside and so on. There were lots of security guards as well.
Now, I talk about the day of the competition. I went to school by 7:00 in the morning. We practiced, watched dance and helped dancers to get ready. We drank tea with biscuits. I was the last to finish eating. And then we headed towards our destination. However, that day vehicles with even number plate were not in use. So our school vehicle had to come and pick us up with fewer students than before. We, five students from grade 6, two students from grade 9 and two teachers went to school. When we reached the school we saw many character trees placed in certain gaps with photos of good students throughout the year. My sister was also there. They were in the photos because it's their prize. We presented our performance. We performed well. After the performance, we went for lunch. I ate my food. They said that 1500 students, 500 teachers and 1000 students of primary wing come on a day-to-day basis to eat in the canteen. After eating, we went to the hall-Buddha hall. It was so big, bigger than the movie theaters. Our teacher said ”We will leave at 11:00” but it was late. We were waiting for our result announcement. We were little nervous. Firstly they announced the result of dance. We stood second in the competition. We were awarded medals and certificates. Also, other members of my school participated in Slok Bachan. But they didn’t stand in any positions. We were sad. And it was already time to return back to our school as our teachers had a meeting. After we reached the school, I called my parents to pick me up.
