After a week of intense training, the day I was looking forward to finally came. I stood under the flagpole and waited for the first captain's call. I couldn't contain my inner excitement even though I had a good idea of what I was going to do. My heart was beating so violently that my ears could hear it clearly. "The flag-raising ceremony will now begin, the first item is to raise the flag." The first captain said. The captain has finished, I am still standing where, fortunately I am smart, immediately back to God to say: "march in unison, one, two, one, two, one ......" We stride in a healthy pace, walked to the national flag. I said "stand still", I was very nervous, but concentrated on listening to the captain's command, the captain said: "The second item, raise the national flag, play the national anthem." The national anthem sounded immediately, and when the flag guard threw the flag into the air, I started to raise it. I listened to the national anthem while raising the flag, and I was very happy to see the flag rising, but there was still a kind of fear lurking in my heart, just afraid that the flag would not be raised on time. My hands were trembling from time to time. I pulled the rope slowly and the flag was rising. Not long after, the national anthem was finished, and the flag had risen to the top of the flagpole.
The five-star red flag fluttered in the air in the wind, and at that moment, a tidal wave of joy welled up in my heart, drowning out my fear. I saw that the sun seemed brighter and the flag more colorful.
