What was it?

Introduction

Receiving a prize is always a memorable event because it is the token of appreciation you are getting for your work. Prizes can be a life changer, which motivates you to become who you are now.

What was it?

The best prize, which is my life changer, is the first recognition I received from a publication for my writing. The prize was a book written by Norman Vincent Pearl, “The Power of Positive Thinking”. Still, now I secure this book and read it to motivate myself.

When did you receive it?

I received this book four years ago in an online writing contest conducted for young writers. This was so special to me because, after my graduation when I was thinking about my career, this prize gave me an insight into my writing skills.

What did you do about it?

I used this prize as a motivation factor to pursue my career in the field of my passion. I started to improve my writing skills and am still continuing the process to reach my dream. Everyone needs a stepping stone in life to grow and this prize has been my first step toward my career growth.

And explain how you felt about it.

When I applied for the context, I was not sure how my writing was, but took part only to check my ability. But when the results came, I was flying on the moon as I had secured second place where my expectation was to receive only a participation certificate.

Conclusion

We do not know when our life takes a turn. In my life, the prize has given me a career and still continues to be an encouraging fact.
