Spanish Certificate

At my school, there was a contest that happens every year. It is called Spring Festival, and there are three subjects you can win in: Spanish, English and Math in Spanish. I got a certificate in Spanish class! I got third place in the category poems. I had to memorize a poem called "A Cocachos Aprendí." It is a page and a third long! It worked like this:  First everyone in the classroom has to say their poem and then the teacher picks the people that pass to the second round. I passed to the second round and then lost. But today my Spanish teacher said there was first, second and third! So I was hoping second or third! The certificate says Riley Goodfellow, 3rd place for your excellent participation in the poetry contest in the Spring Festival. I did not expect to win! I was just hoping!
