My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩).
The third prize was announced and it was not me.1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed(失望) at the same time. The second prize was announced.  I t  was me. I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,Dad put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
