I had been excited about it for weeks. Everything was going to be ok, but…now let me talk about what happened.
My brother’s university organised an astronomy competition with my school called “Young talents of space”. I decided to go and I brought with me a Nasa Limited Edition telescope that my brother had given me. It was a very beautiful one, black with blue and red stripes, as the Nasa colours, with a sticker on it that said it was a Limited Edition.
I had to say to the jury how the telescope works, what I had observed with it, etc. I was expecting to make a very good impression, but while I was walking to the event, I accidentally dropped the authorization to participate to the competition and it went right into a manhole. I felt desperate and I would have done anything possible to recover that piece of paper that probably meant my qualification to the final of the competition.
So, while I was trying to take it back, I fell over and the telescope broke! So i thought that literally was THE END!!
I decided not to participate anymore, because it was a disaster!
For the ones that may believe this is from a true story, well, IT ISN’T!
