BINTA TOURE

1 It was a fine day in June and as usual, the two secondary schools in the town organised a
prizewinning ceremony. That year, I was again among the best students. I was going to receive the first
prize for excellence, the first prizes for English and French, and the second prizes for History and
Geography. Early in the morning a large number of people, relatives, friend tarted to arrive at the town’s
cultural centre. The ceremony was going to start at 9 o’clock, but by half past eight, the big hall was already
full.
It was a colourful crowd and I could hear some people talking in loud voices, some laughing, others
whispering. They were all waiting for the beginning of the ceremony. At o’clock the Mayor arrived. When
all the officials were on the stage, everybody stood up and sang the national anthem. One of the two
10 principals gave a short welcoming speech. Then a teacher gave a talk on ‘the importance of prize-giving in
schools. After that, the prize-giving ceremony itself started. One by one the principals called out the names
of the prizewinners and they went up to the stage. So good students, like me went up several times. Each
time we shook the hand of a different official, which was quite exciting. I felt great joy and was very proud
and I could see my parents’ happy faces in the audience. Afterwards there was a party. Because it was my
15 last prize-giving ceremony at school, it is still one of my best school memories.
