I have attended many competitions in different phases of my life and have won some prizes from those competitions as well. One such contest that I would like to talk about was the Cycling competition that I participated in my college. I was then a student of the college and around 15 years old. One day I noticed an advertisement in our local newspaper that an inter-college cycling competition would be held on next week. The entry fee would be 20.000 VND and the prizes would be given to the first three cyclers. I had a passion for cycling and that’s why I thought to participate it. On the day of the contest, I went to the starting point and registered my name in the competition. I took my bicycle and wore my cycling dresse. I noticed there were around 30 competitors and I was asked to stand at my start point. With the sound of the whistle, I start cycling. I had almost no intention of winning prized but I simply did concentrate on cycling. The total distance was around 1 kilometers. After I finished the racing, I was really surprised to hear that I won the third prize. Some of my classmates were shouting because I was one of the three prize winners. I felt really happy and proud that I did well in this competition. Actually, I never took my cycling habit seriously but I did well in that competition. So after that I started practicing and participating in other cycling competitions as well.
