Last September, I joined the school speech competition. At first, I thought I had a good voice. I believed I would win easily. But two days before the competition, I lost confidence. I worried I would forget my words in front of many students.

My English teacher encouraged me. She asked me to practice in front of the mirror every evening. I followed her advice. I practiced again and again. I also recorded my speech and listened to it. Slowly I became more confident.

On the competition day, I walked onto the stage. I was nervous, but I finished my speech clearly. I didn’t win first prize, but I succeeded in completing the task. I learned confidence came from practice, not luck.

Many students met different kinds of setbacks last term. Some failed in important tests. Some lost in sports games. Some felt nervous when they spoke in public. A teacher wrote about students’ growth in her diary.

She said most students felt disappointed when they failed. However, those who kept trying usually made progress later. One boy failed in the math test many times, but he didn’t stop. He asked the teacher for help every week. Finally he got much better grades.

Last winter vacation, I learned to cook tomato and egg noodles. I wanted to make dinner for my parents. At the beginning, I thought it was easy. But I made many mistakes. I cut the tomatoes too small. I put too much salt. I even burned the noodles once.

I felt very sad. I wanted to give up. But my mother encouraged me. She said every mistake taught me something. I tried again. I watched a cooking video and followed the steps carefully. I controlled the heat and tasted the soup step by step.

After three tries, I made a bowl of noodles successfully. My parents said it was delicious. I learned that patience and practice helped me overcome difficulties. Failure was not scary if I kept going.
