When I was in the six grade, I followed a competition. At that time, Mr. Bambang as or science teacher told us, Chika and I, about a competition in Genteng subdistrict. This competition's title was The Best of The Best Student in Genteng Subdistrit. The contestants were all the students in Genteng subdistrict. Mr. Bambang told us that this competition would be held two days later. Because of that, Chika and I didn't have enough time to study all the subjects. The subjects are mathematics, social, geography, history, physics, musics, and many more. We felt very worried and afraid because we didn't have enough time to study. But Mr. Bambang gave us support if we could do it and win this competition. Then I went home and told this information to my father, my mother, and my sister. And they felt very proud of me and they wanted me to study hard so that I could win the competition.
The next day, Chika and I studied hard because we believed that God would bless us forever.
Then the next day the competition was begun, Chika and I felt very worried. On this competition there were 2 rounds. The first round was the writing test and the second round was the talent show. On the first round, we must do the writing test and answer all the questions. If right, we got +5 points, if lose, we got -2 points and if we didn't answer it, we got 0 points. From one hundred contestats, only 5 boys and 5 girls got the highest score would go to thenext round. When the test started, I felt that the test was very difficult and I couldn't do it clearly but I tried to do it as the best that I could and I didn't forget to pray to God. There are 50 questions. Wow ... ! 2 hours later, the test finished and it was the time for the judges to check it. When the judges finished checking the test, it's time for the announcement who would be the winner. One by one they read the names, this time I felt that I wold lose. But Jesus wanted me to win the first round with the highest score. Wow......!!! I felt very happy. Because of that, I continued to the next round ( the second round ). The second round would be held the next day.
On the second round, we must show our talents like reading a poem, playing guitar, playing drum, playing keyboard, playing violin, singing, and many more. At that time, I didn't have a talent, I couldn't play guitar or play keyboard. Because of that, I chose to read a poem. Because the second round would be held tomorrow, I didn't have enough time to prepare anything. But Jesus helped me to do it.
The next day, when the second round started, I saw many people had better talents than me. For the second time, I didn't think about Jesus that had helped me to win the first round and I felt very worried and afraid. There were many people playing drum, playing guitar, playing keyboard and had a very beautiful voices. But only I didn't do that, I just read the poem without any spirit and intonation. I only read the poem like read my book story because I thought I would lose ( didn't think that I would win ). And the second round ended, for the announcement, we must wait for 3 days and the judges would tell our school if we won and if we won we could follow the next competition. During 3 days, I felt I would lose, I couldn't follow to next competition but I still prayed to God, I said that everything that happened on this competition, I would win or lose, I just gave it in God's hands because I think God had the best plan for our life. 3 days later. Suddenly Mr. Bambang told Chika and I that we were the first winner and we could follow the next champion. The next champion's title was The Best of The Best Students in East Java. When I heard that I won the competition and become the first winner, I was very happy and I concentrated on the next competition but I knew that the next competition would be more difficult that the last competition. I really thanked God because He always blessed me during the day in the competition. But for the next competition, I was lost. I couldn't become The Best of The Best Students in East Java because the exam that we must do was very hard ( the materials that I hadn't studied before ) and the other contestants was very smart and multi talented than us. But I still thank God, eventhough I lost but God had blessed me on the last competition. Eventhough, I was lost but got a lot of good experiences and I got more knowledge from the competition. I got and knew many friends. On that competition, I knew two friends and I made her as my best friend. I called her Margie but her real name is not Margie because I like to call her name like that and the other friend but I forgot the name. From this competition, I learned that God always bless and give me many knowledge and keep me in the right ways and God has the best plan in my life. Sometimes I think that if I lose from this competition, that means God doesn't bless me but it's false. Eventhough I lose or win or something happen in our life, it's the best plan that God had planned in our life.
