We meet plenty of people in our day-to-day lives. Many hardly leave an impression on us. However, a handful leave an indelible mark in our psyches, stimulating our spirits to reach higher horizons. Like a comet bolting out of the blue, they come into our lives, changing us forever for the better. I keep a very special pen in my pencil case. It may look ordinary. It is, after all, a simple ball-point pen. However, for me, it is special. It was given to me by my English teacher, Mrs. Grace, one Friday morning. A Friday morning that will change my life forever. The day is still fresh in my memories. The dew glistened on the freshly cut grass as I headed to school. It was Sports Day, and I was anticipating it with excitement. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed; I barely pass my examinations. For a simpleton like me, Sports Day is the day I can shine. I worked day and night for the running race. My teachers particularly despised me. Who can blame them? I was known to be disruptive, often making my teachers blow their tops. Mrs. Grace was no exception. I was certain she disliked me as well. Little did I know, my impression of her would change forever.
The sports day commenced with much pomp and fanfare. Students dressed in flaming colours packed the stadium amongst a plethora of colourful displays of banners and decorations. I was feeling hyped and ready for the race. As the cue to start running announced itself with an air pistol, I took to action, running as fast as the wind. My eyes were on the prize, quite literally too! I wanted to win first place so I could qualify for the national race. I was close to the finish line when I felt an agonising pain shooting up my leg. Oh no! Not a cramp. Before I knew it, my face met the floor. I saw my chances of winning the race dwindle to non-existence.
However, I did not give up. I got up and took to my heels. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to first place. In fact, I was last. I could sense my classmates snickering at me. All my hard work went down the drain. I stood there at the prize-giving ceremony with dismay etched across my face. The teacher who was giving away prizes was Mrs. Grace. “I bet she’s happy!” I muttered. However, nothing could prepare me for the next moment. “Andrei! Please come to the stage!” I heard her call my name. I felt disconcerted, thinking she was calling me up to publicly embarrass me. With shaky legs, I went up to the stage. “Everyone wants to crown the winners. But I’d like to crown a special person for effort. Andrei did not give up, despite knowing he barely had a chance. I don’t have a trophy, but I’d like to offer him a special pen for his special effort.” She boomed on the microphone for all to hear. It was a heart- warming moment.
That is the reason why I still hold on to the pen to remind me of this very special person. Call me sentimental, but today I am a successful person thanks to Mrs. Grace. She is truly a memorable person! Thanks to her inspiration, I not only passed my examinations with flying colours, but I also became a successful sportsman in my community. I learned that it is better to try and fail than never try at all!
