The 43rd Annual Contest Awards Ceremony was an activity celebrated in UPR on April 22, in which some students were recognized for their participation and performance in English writing on three categories: essays, short stories and poetry. There were prizes for first, second, third and honorable mention places for each category. All the participants could enjoy the whole ceremony; the welcome, keynote speaker, music and awards with their parents and teachers. After that, they could share in a lunch.
The activity was not as I imagined. I liked it very much. Before the activity I did not want to go but when I arrived there I found Gabriel and Francisco, two friends, whom also won prizes, and Israel, my English partner, then I shared a little with them and meet their parents and started to feel more comfortably. In there, I can say I enjoyed the activity. It was in an appropriate place, with a good music. It was also very nice, that in the awards everyone can see a picture of the winner and read a short excerpt of the writings. First places could present their writings. The writing that I most like was which won the first place in poetry, “I Saw It” from Elisa Navarro. I really love poetry; it was also the category in which I participate with my poem “Her Scope in the World”. I had always thought that poetry is the most sublime form to express an idea or a feeling.
Elisa’s poem was great. When you heard it, it could hurt you inside. I mean that I feel identified with what the poem want to express. It makes you think in those times you had said for yourself “I don’t want to see that” and prefer to ignore many things in life just because they hurt you or you think you can’t do anything. I believe that it is true that the others pains and disgraces also affect us. It is just that we are always trying to look to the other side and avoid the feeling and the thought. Also it presented a theme that is very marked in our society, a situation that many of us had live.

In short, it was a very good activity and I hope it to continue and that other students could have the same good experience.
