my award-winning essay..wahahaha!!

September 6, 2005

Ok..it is not really award winning. It did not win anything special or notable, maybe just the heart of my literature teacher…

The essay has no title, but it is written for Paz Marquez Benitez’ Dead Stars, which is so far my favorite story in the whole world of literature. I am proud that it is a work of my fellow Filipina.

When my teacher distributed the essays, she first called my name. My essay was on top! But of course, I did not think it was in a particular order. Who would arrange essays according to their remarks? That is just not a trend. Perhaps more like my dream..hehehe..

So my paper was on top, and then when I took the paper, there wasn’t anything violet (for she loved using violet sign pens) on it. I even uttered “nohay score” just in front of my prof. I think she did not hear me though, not with the crowd my other classmates were creating while looking for their essay papers at her table.

My essay was an eight-paged paper, the longest essay submitted in class. I was timid about telling that to my classmates, for their essays were three-paged at most. I was silently wondering that time how did they compress everything in three pages, when in fact, each page were double-spaced. Their essays were so short, I was afraid I was already committing the “going around the bush” crime already! I glanced at my paper at the third page. Oh sheets, I was just starting to explain why the story was entitled Dead Stars on that part!

When we submitted it, I kept it along the other papers promptly, so others wouldn’t have to spot the thickness of my work.

When I received it a few hours ago, I scanned through the pages and found, finally, some violet ink on some parts of my essay. I smiled, after expecting a bad comment, when I saw a “very good” remark somewhere at the middle of my work. And if that was not enough for my satisfaction, I saw another violet-scribbled “true!” remark on another paragraph. I was deeply and silently proud of what I said on that part of the essay. That was a self-realization, which my teacher agreed so, and as a student, that is something for me.

On that paragraph, I said, “But love, for me, and from the situations I have seen and encountered in my life, does not go hand in hand with practicality. One somehow, has to do some battling with the odds. And if one decides to join the battle, he is absolutely not being practical.” Wow! How true that is! And I realized that on my own!

And to make me more joyous and cheerful and have a really wide smile shape on my lips, I saw another “very good” remark at the foot of the last page of my essay. It was an overall observation! Nobody ever, not one teacher I had since high school, affirmed my essays with such. It is only “very good”, I understand, and it may be so common for you, but it clearly is something for me. Am I being mushy now? Oh please just leave me be…

And of course, the best thing ever, a proof that my essay won the heart of my literature prof, was the perfect 90 points she granted it. Perfect 40 for content, another 40 for organization, and 10 points for presentation. Oh sheets…I got a 100% grade for that essay!

I could die! hehehe!

In truth, I could say, na pinaghirapan ko rin naman ng husto iyon. I gave my best to that essay, and I wrote it with all my passions on writing.

Like I said to someone else, I am the happiest frustrated essayist at this moment in the universe, and nothing could ever divert me away from this feeling.
