It was March 25,2001.That was the day when our school anniversary was celebrated.The Governor was invited to be the chief guest.Like many of my schoolmates i was very busy making arrangements for the function.We decorated the school,particularly the auditorium,as well as we could.The auditorium,where the function was to be held,looked like a fairyland.Governors car entered the school campus.Accompanied by the Principal,the vice principal and the president of the students union,the chief guest went to the dias and took his seat.In his valedictory speech,the Governor stressed the importance of discipline among pupils.
I am in evening dress for the drama as cindrella and it was quiet good.Suddenly next item of program was called,which is prize distribution,which i had been eagery awaiting.I was one of those who were to be awarded prizes on the occasion.I came in first in elocution competition.But i didnt get time to change my costume.i am still in the evening dress of cindrella and my name was called and i am thrilled of joy.When i was receiving my prize,i heard the audience clapping.I shivered when the governor shook my hand while giving me the prize and also he told me that i am really looking like princess.I thought it was a dream.When i felt the prize and looked at it,i realized that it was a reality.That has been an important day in my life-a day which i can never forget.When i read the story of cindrella,it takes me back to the memorable day.I got that words from Governor only with the help of that evening dress,which i never want to forget.
