A KING FOR 10 MINUTES by Ryan Ng


            “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.

What a sweet story! The descriptions of the stadium made your writing come to life. I could paint a picture in my mind of the grandness of the stadium! It is very nice how you admire and look up to your older brother so much.
