A Moment of TriumphA Poem by Hannah!It feels nice to be finished.
Never have I waited so impatiently for something so simple as hearing my name called out over a microphone, booming the announcement that I’ve long waited for. Never have I been so very nervous for something so simple as walking across a stage, and shaking a few hands— all those important people, lined up there to say ‘congratulations’ just to me… or not just to me, but to me nonetheless. Never has a moment seemed so long as that moment, when I was next in line— and what if I forget which hand to use, or to pause and smile for the camera? Never have I been so anxious to list the many things that could go wrong in that precious half a minute, when I have finally achieved my biggest goal so far, and never have I felt so proud as the moment when I switched that red and gray tassel to the left and tossed my hat way up into the air! © 2008 Hannah!Author's Note
