Teachers' Day / Aces Day celebration

  As the title suggests, 1st of September was Teachers' Day / Aces Day celebration. Riversidians, including me, were all assembled in the Parade Square. I was exhilarated as celebrations only occur occasionally in Riverside, so there was the need to appreciate the precious celebrations.
  The day kicked off with the Aces Day component, where the RS Dance was utilized. It was a RS Dance competition; a competition between classes. We were to perform the RS Dance as naturally as we could, and the judges, amongst them was the principal, would decide the winner of each level. Nervousness was the only word that could describe my feelings. The competition started with the Graduating Classes starting first. Meanwhile, messages were passed down telling my classmates to perform the best of our abilities. Time flew past in a blink of an eye and soon, it was time for Secondary 1 to show our grace in dancing. I put in effort to dance as it has been a while since I did the RS Dance; some steps were still not vividly etched into my memory.
  After the marvellous performance by the Riversidians, we headed to the Hall where the next component was waiting for us. It was prize presentation for the teachers, there were a few awards and the teachers were all very elated to walk up the stage and receive the prize. What stumped me was that my class and I did not know that we could participate in the voting. If we did, some of our favourite teachers would have had a higher chance of winning a prize.
  Finally, after the side course, it was the dessert that was whipped up for us. It was the long-awaited moment ! I guessed you guessed it, it was the prize presentation for the winners of the RS Dance competition. When the emcees was about to announce the winners, the response was huge, with some people screaming, and alot of people doing drumrolls. Our team spirit paid off when we unexpectedly heard ''1/5!'' My class was totally taken aback as we did not expect to win. The class winners of other levels were announced shortly after declaring our class victorious. Our class then went back to class, distributed the prize - which was a medal, and everyone was then dismissed from school.
  I feel that our class spirit has since bonded incredibly after this event, I wish there would be more of such meaningful events in the near future.
