We don't get to find out how Samuel did in the competition, but we don't need to! He overcame his kryptonite (stage fright) and that makes him a winner! A nicely told story, @george-dee. We could feel his anguish as he tried to overcome his fears, and you did a great job of showing the mom's love and pride for her son. Your piece was good but it would have been elevated if you had edited it. We enjoy reading your stories, George, but submissions to The Ink Well need to be edited if you wish to secure higher curation. We also remind you that we require all writers to support at least two other stories in the community through meaningful engagement in the comments. Without this, curation value will also be impacted.
Thanks for the correction, I will definitely do the needful. Cheers to a beautiful Wednesday.
