Bhubaneswar: A national-level essay competition organised by Competition Success Magazine has judged Odia girl Lovely Mohanty as its winner.
The competition was organised back in March 2020 but the results were announced Thursday.
Lovely is a student of Class-XII in Sai International School, Bhubaneswar. The 16-year-old girl had submitted an essay titled ‘Sweet Are The Uses Of Adversity’.
The magazine selected her essay as the winner from thousands of entries that came from eight union territories and 28 states.
The judges described the entries as ‘diverse’, ‘creative’ and ‘hopeful’.
In her essay Lovely had explained, “At some point in life, almost everyone has to go through bad patches. Challenges come in many forms like hunger, disease, frustration, unfulfilled dreams and aspirations, ambitions yet to be realized, expectations to be matched up to, poverty exploitation and many more. The best way to deal with hard times is to hold onto one’s patience and good sense. Endurance and fortitude can make this test of destiny easier to cope with.”
it may be mentioned here that Lovely has also earned accolades by taking part in various debate and essay competitions at both state and national levels earlier.
Founder of Sai International School Bijaya Kumar Sahoo congratulated Lovely for her success and wished her best of luck for her future.
