The story of drama club dreams

I had always wanted to be in the school play, but I was too nervous to audition. My drama teacher, Mrs. Johnson, encouraged me to try out for the spring production of Romeo and Juliet. I practiced my monologue for hours in front of my bedroom mirror. When audition day came, my hands were shaking as I walked onto the stage. But as soon as I started speaking, all my nerves disappeared. I felt like I was transported to another world. I got a small part in the ensemble, but it felt like I had won an Oscar. [Memory #19]
