How... Should I enter this writing competition?

ok here’s what’s up, my school has put up posters about some writing competition it really interested me but when I was reading the short stories that previous last year winners have written they’re like ‘WOW’, they’re really good and im starting to doubt my abilities I worked really hard on it it’s about my journey and how I had lost 22kg. Do you think I have what it takes to win?? btw it took me an hour to write my short story and it’s 490 words (the maximum word limit is 500) :)

Answer #1

We haven’t read your story, so we can’t honestly give you an opinion.

Answer #2

it’s too long but I can write the first paragraph if you want to read it:

‘Flick, beep, thump, thump, thump these are the 3 different sounds I hear everyday. It’s 6:00am; everyone including the sun is asleep. Im running but no going anywhere, my legs never allowed to stop, only, by the push of a button. I’m on a treadmill. Now I’m walking, passing unforgettable memories of my weight and me. I’ve always been overweight and not being able to change it … until now. ‘You have to change your lifestyle’, my heart specialist said. You see, when I was 16 months old I had 2 holes in my heart, surgery fixed it, but now, no doctor could fix me, I had to fix myself… on my own. It was up to me to change who I was. Hope you like it :) <3
