Dearest Grandmother

How are you? I miss you everyday. I am very excited and happy right now. Last week my school had organised an inter-school quiz competition in which six schools had participated. An organising committee was formed by our school principal. The committee’s function was to chalk out the programme and to look after the participants and accompanying teachers coming from other schools. I was also selected a member of that organising committee. The event went off smoothly and guests were looked after properly. Timely distribution of snacks, water and serving of lunch was all responsibility of members of organising committee which were taken care of with minutest details.

Next day during morning assembly, the principal congratulated all the members of this organising committee. The principal praised our efforts in front of the whole staff and students. It was a proud moment for all of us. As I was also a part of it. I was very happy as everyone appreciated our work. It was a great feeling to be recognised and praised in front of the whole school and staff members.

I wanted to share this proud moment with you. I know you would also feel very proud of me and bless me for future.

With loving regards.

Mukesh
