Armed with her story 'A Fractured Tale of Hansel & Gretel', Min Yi got into the Semi Final of the PESA Storytelling Competition! Out of16 contestants from different schools, 5 were chosen and Min Yi was one of them!
She has put in alot of effort and time in preparing for the Preliminary Round which was held today at YMCA Orchard, including being reprimanded by the other teacher who was preparing her when the practice wasn't 'good enough'. She held back her tears although she was on the verge of crying, and pressed on. She often stayed back till 4 or 5pm to practise her storytelling and to get her actions right. It has not been easy on her. She is the only English-speaking member in her family and she had to work doubly hard at it. Above all, I thought it quite a feat to qualify for Semi Final when this is the first time she enters a storytelling competition.
There'll be more hard work ahead for her for the next two weeks or so as she prepares for the Semi Final.
Let's continue to give her our encouragement and cheer her on!
These are the pictures when she first prepared for the competition:
Well done, Min Yi! Keep up the good work!
