“Come on in!”, exclaimed my dad, ushering Arshia and Avinash into my home, safe from the danger of obtaining hypothermia in the freezing cold winds that blasted every few seconds and from the softly-falling, dunk-in-your-face huge raindrops in Texas. It was February 17, 2017, the day before the competition. We, meaning my brother, Arshia, Avinash, my dad(he was the team manager), and I, were going to paint our scene sets and put some finishing touches on our wonderful mechanism today. We’re participating in a competition called Destination Imagination and there were different subjects to compete in. My friends, my brother, and I all agreed, after lots of hard thinking, to participate in the Show and Tech challenge. We have to create a 2 minute

After we reached our destination, we quickly got lost in the maze of rooms, different floors, and people. When we found our correct room which was, decorated with pink streamers high up on the ceiling, we had to wait EVEN MORE until, finally, it was our turn to perform our wonderful and sublime skit. A queasy feeling settled into my stomach and my hands became sweaty to the touch. When we started to perform, I felt a bit nervous but going on, I began to feel more confident of myself. We were all playing our roles perfectly, flawlessly. But, the one tiny, miniscule problem was that the flooring was carpet, which presented a situation. The thing was, we didn’t think there was going to a carpet flooring and we were completely thrown off track when we saw the carpet. Our mechanism was designed to move better on hardwood flooring than carpet and soon realized that our machine was an exceedingly slow garden snail. I started to lose a bit of my confidence after that. We briskly finished our last lines and waited to hear what the judges had to …show more content…

Finally, a balding man wearing a bright red hoodie came and led us to the “common room” where everyone was located. With a mixture of sadness and disappointment, I let my mom and dad lead me outside to our car. 3 days later, I found out the we came in 6th place in the subject category we performed in which wasn’t bad at all. Not bad at all. Honestly, I thought we’d come in 4th place or something because other teams could have improved. My brother, Arshia, Avinash, and I did such a great job on performing and creating an imaginative plot-line. I realized my love for acting and building circuits from this amazing and unique experience which I could never learn any other
