We all have one of those moments when something really cool happens to us and you want to tell your friends. However, many of us don't, out of fear of making the other person feel inferior, or to avoid being annoying. If something little but amazing happened to you, now's your chance to share it with the world!

I won a writing competition! This was a little while ago, but I'm still happy about it. What's even cooler is that my friend told me to write a short story for the competition on the very last day they were accepting submissions, so I wrote the whole thing in a couple hours. My story got published in my school's literary magazine!

Thanks! The theme of the competition was "gone wrong," and I was struggling with ideas because I'm bad at writing anything short, and one of my friends (not the one who told me to write the story) was like "well what if some people were doing something normal and then one of them died" so thats what I did. It switches back and forth between the present, at someone's funeral, and the past when two friends are just hanging out and having a fun time. Towards the end of the flashbacks, one of the friends dies in an accident, and you find out that it's her funeral and her friend is there mourning her. It's pretty sad, but I'm quite happy with it. Sorry, that's not the greatest explanation of it.

    HS graduation was yesterday, and I made a card for a senior that I know congratulating him, as well as thanking him for being a role model. However, I was really nervous to give it to him because I have trouble interpreting relationships and was worried that we weren't actually friends and he was just talking to me to be polite. I was overjoyed when he texted me to say that he loved the card! I'm still on an emotional high after several hours.

    Well done! Probably made his day and I bet you had a high after being able to do it too!

    A few weeks ago in Math class, my teacher said that all the students who could solve a difficult problem in 10 minutes would get a chocolate from her. I was one of those students so on Thursday my teacher got a bag full of chocolates and made us pick which ones we wanted. I had a bit of the chocolate on Friday I think and that’s when I realised what the taste of success was. I never had a chocolate that sweet before, I could taste all the hard work that went into earning that chocolate

    I take Spanish, and last Thursday was a substitute day, so our teacher only left us three worksheets. All 21 kids were in class on Thursday. Then yesterday(Monday), when she was back, she told us that only 2 kids had completed all of the worksheets. Only 2 kids out of 21, and it was me and my friend. We got candy, and it was so awesome.
