The room was huge but I felt crowded
and surrounded, however, not in the negative sense of the word. I
was surrounded by respect from people that I didn’t even know liked
or knew me. As I sat there frozen, unable to move, I realized they
were clapping for me. That was the most amazing feeling.
At the end of my eighth grade year, I
was presented with a framed picture of the cover of the School and
Community magazine. I had written an article about my school life
and was honored to have it published in this magazine.
When they said my name, I couldn’t
move and make myself walk up to the stage. The clapping was loud,
echoing through my ears so I covered my head. Nonetheless, I was
extremely surprised and grateful for the respect Bevier students
showed me on that eventful day.
I had to have confidence in my writing
to submit it in the first place and the Bevier kids had enough
respect for me to honor me with their applause.
