Saturday, 19th November was a great day for me. I had reluctantly agreed to go to karate competition and this was the day. We got ready hurriedly and reached the venue in time. Before the start of the competition was a photo session. We all stood in line for the spectators to take our photographs.
The whole hall was divided into three areas each for different categories. We were explained about the rules and which area to go. Ours was the first event in area 1. It was children's kata for white to red belt below 10 years. I did not do it through the levels. I was bit sad about that. But mum said I did well except that I was too slow.

After sometime, we were called again to area 2. This time it was @children's 3 step kumite for white to red belt under 5' "

I was the first one to be called. I won the round. I was called another 3 times and I won all the rounds. I had got an entry into the finals. I had won a prize but I had to compete again in the finals to decide whether I won Gold or Silver. I was so excited. But it was a long wait for the finals. There were so many other events that we had to wait till almost 6pm for the finals to start. I was a little nervous. This time there were five judges. My opponent was Yohan Lewis. He won this round and I was declared as the second winner. Thus I got the silver medal. I am so proud of it.
