A night to remember...(that just sounds way too overused...)

Ok, anyway, besides the overused title, tonight was a night to remember! We had our annual "share the fun" contest for 4-H. Our club sort of ruled the contest, with 12 acts. Only two were from another club. I participated in two events. I played my newest composition on the piano and I participated in a group skit about pirates. Both the skit and my piano piece won first so I am advancing to the regional competition. But some one else shocked everyone. I don't how many of you know Daniel Carr, but if you do, you would know that he is an amazing pianist, but also has a speech impairment. But tonight he proved something to everyone. He got up on stage, and gave a humorous interpretation speech. I know he has worked hard to conquer his speech problem and last tonight he did it...He won first place in the non musical act, and is advancing to the regionals! I have never seen anyone with the guts that he's got. I know how hard he was worked to speak well, and to carry on conversations with people. Now, he has finally won a competition giving a speech!! I know what this guy has gone through and I think it's the coolest thing that he finally proved to people that he can get up on stage and give a speech without stuttering!! Anyway, it was a glorious night having audience appreciation of my music and winning in a skit, but best of all, finally being able to see Daniel succeed in speech!
