Hello Hive! It's me again,novembees. I'm going to share with you about my experience at the English Festival 2023.
This is my first time ever joining this kind of event. I feel really nervous because I have never tried this since elementary school. So when I was the one selected to represent our section, I'm not excited, but I have no choice. I have to do this and make it happen to proudly represent our section. I am the goddess of justice ⚖️.
The event started at 1 PM, and this is when my makeup artist helped me make myself beautiful with an Aura. He is so nice, and the makeup looks very elegant, fitting my character and what I'm wearing. Every minute, he surveys and does a retouch to prevent my makeup from fading. Also, he is so supportive and kind.
(My supporters never gives up)
My teacher is not around because she's busy and had something important to do, but I have my classmates and friends around me who support and cheer for me during every walk and talk. They fully support me and help me memorize my lines. They always say "never get nervous, you've got this day and make us proud". Honestly, I never think about winning awards, my main focus is just enjoying the stage. I never feel guilty if I don't receive those awards because all candidates are winners.
(Announcing the minor award)
I did not expect to be awarded for the best cosplay performance. I thought it wasn't mine. I'm shocked by the result. I am truly happy and my classmates are shouting, but sadly, my teacher is not around. She wasn't with me when I received the sash, but she wants to update chat with my classmates about what happened at the event. Is that okay?

(Announcing the top 6)
I am the last one to be mentioned for the final top 6. The nerves may ruin your lines, but this is the moment that I feel excited already because I have achieved the top 6. Now it's time for me to perform the monologue, so I wonder what the result will be. All I can think about is finishing my journey for the day and keeping a smile until the end of this event. It's just a healthy competition, and I congratulate all the goddesses. As I say my monologue, I can only think that I am a bad girl because of my voice. Actually, yes, I have no idea how to project my voice. And during that time, I only focused on the judge or the back of the audience to avoid feeling nervous and not getting distracted.
And after that, finally getting the 2nd runner up, I was too happy. At least this sash is for me. It was a great experience and I never expected this to happen to me. Now, I realize and I feel that it would not be easy to join a contest, but you can try your best not focusing on the audience, but rather focus on yourself and what you are doing. Because you're the one who can know of it, and you need to trust yourself whatever happens.
I am very thankful for the people who have kind hearts and support me, especially for my number one supporter/s. They take care of me and assure that my hair is okay, and secretly say I look beautiful while watching me on stage. The event ended at 5 PM, and I left with a smiling face. Everyone congratulated me.
Thankyou for reading my blog again take care always everyone and see you on my next blogs!
