My school day started out like any other, until my form tutor handed me an envelope and told me "Well done, Mukhtar!" Huh? I was wondering whatever could be in that envelope, but I decided to save it until I got home to open it - whatever it was, it sounded like something worth opening with the rest of the family.
Little did I know that on that same morning, Mrs Mom and Mr Dad had received an email saying that I had gotten a big prize - but what!? Since it was sent in the morning, it meant that they had to wait anxiously all day long - it seemed to just drag on and on! When I got home, everyone was so excited, and, like me, they all wanted to know what was inside that envelope.
This was the moment we were all waiting for; everyone was there, Mrs Mom and Mr Dad, Fatimah, Ali, and @drauntie.uk as well. All of us had butterflies in our stomach as I opened that envelope…to find out that I had been awarded not one, but TWO PRIZES - the Junior Drama Prize and the W.R. Buttle Prize! I was completely filled with happiness, and I was over the moon to have received this great honour - Alhamdulillah! This was beyond anything I could have asked for.
These awards may have been addressed to me, but I know I couldn’t have done it without all those who are responsible for getting me where I am today. I thank Mrs Mom, Mr Dad, Fatimah, Ali, @drauntie.uk and each and every one in the family for their constant support and belief in me. Their unshaken faith in me warms my heart!
I’d also like to give a huge thank you to the teachers and the School for this acknowledgement. I am truly humbled by it - even one prize would have been ever so generous!
And not forgotten, all of you who have been supporting me continuously - thank you from the bottom of my heart!
And of course, I thank Allah for guiding me along the path to this achievement. I pray that He opens up more opportunities for me to reach higher…Aameen ♥️
Blessed,
Omar Mukhtar
