Drawing Contest

In another one of my attempts to make friends I did something shameful. The library at my school was having a drawing contest K-8. Each grade was to have a 1st, 2ND, and 3rd place winner. I was determined to be the fifth grade 1st place winner, but there was one person standing in my way, Laura. She was the most talented girl in the fifth grade, and there was no way I could compete with her. I don't remember what she drew, but I definitely remember what I drew. It was a picture of Sacajawea the Indian girl, it was picture perfect. The only reason it was picture perfect was because I traced almost the whole thing. When finished the drawings were to be turned into the Liberian, and only she would know who they belong too. The kids then went around picking there favorite. Shamelessly I won first place. At first I was so proud of myself, I took the blue ribbon home and showed my parents. They were not impressed, but then again they never were. They were the type of parents that didn't care about grades or important things like that. Oh well it didn't matter, I hadn't earned that blue ribbon anyways. and I felt horrible about it. As horrible as I felt I wasn't going to confess to what I had done, it would have to be one more thing to add to my list of things I was praying for forgiveness for. It was also another thing I would keep to myself til now.
