“AARON!” AARON! AARON! » The crowd applauded. I stood on a pedestal marked “First Place,” as I held a huge trophy above my head. I got first place in a film competition at every technical high school in Connecticut. I watched everyone clapping and cheering, even though a blinding white light focused on me making it harder to see, I could make out bright red and blue spots flashing around the room, teachers and students from all over Connecticut were cheering me on. . I moved the trophy closer and stepped back from the pedestal. I looked back to see my best friend, Bailey Norman, standing behind the curtain, looking rather depressed. Bailey also participated in the competition but unfortunately, he did not win. We were taken back to our seats, we watched each of the other students win prizes in other competitions, such as carpentry, welding, automotive, computer repair, cooking, and many other competitions related to trade.

I asked "Yeah man, how else would we get there?" Bailey argued, "Um, I don't know, maybe some kind of BUS!" I yelled. "Not a bit of giant metal in the sky that could be diverted or fall at any moment!” I quickly moved to stand up. “Dude, relax!” leave now.” “Dude! SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO ME!” Bailey echoed throughout the full bus, everyone looked at us as we slowly sat down again “You need to calm down, you already paid. three hundred dollars and you're already there man.
