Day 746: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: trophy
Okay, so timer set for @freewritehouse
She was staring at the trophy. The huge golden colored trophy sat on the table. It had a crystal on top and looked so brilliant. She could not believe her eyes. She had actually won it.
She had been the target of all those who made fun of her. She was not good at sports. She was a nerd figure but was average in the class and yet when the final results were published, she was the one who topped the class. All the students were too surprised. The teachers too had not expected her to do so well in the public examinations.
Needless to say, her parents were proud. They knew that her hard work would pay off.
The trophy reminded her that discipline and hard work was all that mattered and not recognition from those who did not even care for her. The look that her classmates had when they came to know of her success told her how skin-deep their praise was.
This was a turning point. She had regained her confidence.
She had walked towards the stage to receive the trophy, her head held high.

There’s nothing like exceeding other people’s expectations……..not that I’d know anything about that;)
It’s the Wednesday prompt delivery team here with the dreaded challenge for today:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-747-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-dread-locks
The @freewrite does not exist. It is @freewritehouse.
A daily prompt is given by @mariannewest if it comes to freewriting and not necessary if you join #nanowrimo.
You forgot to use the tag #freewrite.
Happy day. 💕
Was posted from our website via steempress and @sayee is still kind of new to the free writes. I will edit it when I get home😎
Thank you, dear
Thanks for alerting me. I will correct it. I did write down the tag but somehow steempress did not use it on steemit.
@sayee you are welcome. Happy day. ❤️
Was that based on someone you know? It is true that we do not need recognition from people that we don't even know but we seem to value it for some reason.
Good little story!
Yes. It was inspired by a friend of mine. What you say is true. We give importance to people who do not even matter.
We certainly do! I look back and think how much time I have wasted worrying about what people think of me and adjusting my behaviour accordingly. Never again!!!
In fact I even wrote a song about it. You can see the words in the video (My musician name is "Juxta"):

Thank you so much, dear
