The Hero of the Day

Whenever I think back to what happened to me two years ago I always have that year in my mind. Ironically what happened two years ago in my opinion wasn't suppose to happen. It was more like a thing that should not be but did become to be. As I look to my future I always think to myself I've gotten older and wiser but what more can I do? Its 8:00 A.M and I'm in my Language Arts class. It was announced that today was the final elimination and so my last words before I left my class was "This will be a piece of cake". And so as I left my room I kept the same thought in my head "State I'm coming for you". With pride, dignity and honor at stake I left my classroom. As I enter the Library where this brilliant showdown was about to take place. I entered and I met up with my opponents and thought to myself "This is 6th grade all over again". I took my seat and as the other contestants arrived I thought to myself "Let's go!".
First round was sudden death what made me nervous was how hard the questions would be. And I found out when 11 of the 14 competitors were eliminated. The realization came to me it's not time to fool around it's time to get serious. Powering my way through sudden death I finally made it to the championship round. 6th grade is repeating all over again. As usual in the championship round there were three questions. I was up against a 7th grade named Joey Hernandez and the way he has fought now has proven himself worthy to make it this far. And so with the felling of suspense in the air we finally began combat for the final showdown that shall reach all students of this school. 3 questions were given in which both of us have to answer it. As the competition got under way immediately Joey answered one wrong. Right then I though I had this one in the bag but it seems my luck and karma bit me back hard and I got one wrong as well. But finally after an all out full scale war it was over those who were their to witness it couldn't believe it.
