“Presenting
the winner of the Liberty writing contest…Nicholas Ng!!!!!!!!” We were in an
oversized stadium. There were many people in the building at their seats ready
to watch the game. Everyone saw my brother smiling and proudly waving his hand
in front of the crowd.
Since
my brother won the writing contest we got to go to the game for free. Nicholas is
a smart, talented, friendly soul who is very good at writing. When we first
arrived at the stadium, we picked up our complimentary tickets. We then walked
through a jumbo, grand tunnel and entered the enormous basketball court through
one of the four grand entrances. The tunnel was so colossal because basketball
players are skyscraping. As we paraded out, we heard the crowd screaming. We
saw our friends who came with us, high in the stadium seats. When we entered
the court, our excited faces appeared on the big screen TV.
Walking
in the gigantic tunnel made me feel funny because I felt like a NBA player. My nervous
body shook and sweated. I felt proud to be the younger brother of the essay
winner. This lifetime chance would have never come true without Nicholas.
It
was sad to see the Liberty team lose the game by a few points. But that didn’t
matter because I was a king of the world for ten minutes, in a stadium full of
people cheering my family and me.
