My crowning

On the day of the crowning, I kept the feather in my pocket for good luck. Once I was crowned, I stuck the yellow feather in my hat and wore it with pride. 
The crowning ceremony was a peaceful, small, and encouraging ceremony. All of my friends and family were there cheering me on silently, so that they wouldn’t disturb of course. After the ceremony was finished, everyone came up to me to congratulate me.  They all claimed that I looked like a beautiful, powerful, and demanding ruler up in front of everyone but I still looked caring and considerate at the same time. Deep down inside me I knew that this is what my mother wanted, I knew she was looking down on me prouder than ever. Standing in front of everyone made me think about the day many years before this one, when she prepared me for the day that has officially come. My crowning… she told me to say it like I mean it! My mother and I were sitting on the floor at top of a blanket. She was braiding my hair telling me that everything would be alright, that she believed in me. Those words stick with me everyday and they always will no matter what the circumstance consists of.
