Step-by-step explanation:

This is the best logical sequence because it starts with the framing of the story, making it clear that he narrator is talking about a past event. Then, the event has a main action, that for it to happen, it needs a before. The narrator wasn't sure of his or her own capability of doing it. After that, we know that the narrator did do the action. After the action, the narrator talks his or her own pride since he or she was able to perform.
