An amazing achievement
Just imagine our life without
great achievements! All history of mankind has consisted of different
achievements such as the first word or the first step of a child, the first
beast killed by pre-historic people, the first fire to cook food, the first
pot and etc. It’s in people’s nature to try to be better, to live better,
longer, and happier. Ambitions are the engine of progress.
I want to tell you about my
son’s amazing achievements. My son studies well at school but he had never been
the best pupil in his class or even at the top of it. His favourite subjects
were History and English. My son won some of competitions in History in our
town but he was only second in English. It was not bad but it didn’t let him
take part in Moscow region Olympics in English. I was very glad with his
achievement as, to tell the truth, my son was a bit lazy at school.
In September of his last
school year I began planning our spring holidays. I was going to bring a group
of my students to England to study English at one of language schools. Of
course, I was planning to take my son with me, too, but to my surprise, he
asked me not to plan anything because he was going to take part in all Russia
Olympics in History and English. I was shocked, as my son had never even taken
part in Moscow region Olympics.
To my surprise, my son won
the town Olympics in both subjects. Then, to my greater surprise, especially,
as he was unwell at the time of Moscow region Olympics, my son managed to be
among the best there, too. During our spring holidays he was very busy
preparing for taking part in all Russia Olympics in History and English.
My son didn’t win any of all
Russia Olympics but as he told me later, he just wanted to be the best at our
town competition as for 3 years he had been the second.
A lot of time has passed
since that time and a lot of other different achievements are on my son’s
score, but that first one has changed his life as now he is sure he will
always achieve what he wants very much.
