i once was a contestant for a math contest at my high school, and i solved most of the questions so my team won. the next day, my name and other team members names were announced during the morning announcement and i felt very proud. this event boosted my confidence throughout the rest of my life in school.
that is awesome! you must have felt so proud of your achievements.
so when i was in grade , my friends and i competed in school math contest. i still was not feeling so confident because i was having a hard time fitting in the school. but that day i solved out of questions given during the contest and my team won. and from that day on until i finished the school i felt a little more recognized and quite a bit more confident.
