Middle school was full of exciting activities that I will never forget. By the time I graduated, I had taken part in many events that made my school life special.
One of my favorite memories was the English speech contest in Grade 8. I had practiced for weeks before the competition. When my turn came, I felt nervous but I still did everything I can do. To my surprise, I won second prize!
The school sports meeting was another highlight. I had never been good at running, but I joined the 400-meter race to challenge myself. Finally I lost it, but my classmates cheered loudly for me, which made me very happy.
Last year, our school held a singing competition. I had practiced my song every day after school. When I stood on the stage, I forgot my fear and enjoyed the moment. The applause (掌声) from the audience was the best reward!
These activities taught me many things, like working hard and being with courage. My middle school life was truly wonderful because of these experiences!
