My Most Embarrassing Stage Of My Life

remember it vividly. Never in my life had I felt so embarrassed, so unconfident in my skills. In my childhood, I was always praised for being an extremely good dancer but now, at such an important moment of my life, my skills betrayed me and the tables turned. Every time I heard the sound of laughter from the audience it felt as though they were laughing at me. In one day, in a single hour, on a single stage I experienced my worst nightmare. To become a laughingstock at my school, reduced from a popular

Growing up, every time I stood in front of a crowd, my heart would start pounding, louder than a gong in a yoga class, and my leg would not stop shaking to the point where it would appear as it was having a seizure. “There’s nothing to be scared about”, my parents would assure me as I continued to search for my ice pick in case I froze up on stage. Despite endless deep breaths and attempting to imagine the crowd in their underwear, my mind and body could not fight the terror of potential public humiliation

My Journey as Miss Wayland Teen USA It all started on a sunny summer day. I was scrolling through Facebook, an ad popped up and it said, “Are you the next Miss Michigan Teen USA?” I clicked on it, just wondering what it was and it said that all you had to do was send in a biography of yourself and a picture. I sent mine in. I told them that I volunteer at a non-profit organization called “Caleb’s Closet” in honor of my cousin, and that I would love to be an anti-distracted driving advocate, I also

have yet to experience anything else like it. I can remember feeling anxious to celebrate the big day with my friends and family, while at the same time I was panicking thinking about having to walk across the stage in front of that many people. Then, the more I thought about the reality of graduation day, I started to get curious, but nervous, about being able to start a new chapter in my life once graduation day had passed. There are several reasons why I, still

found my personal legend cannot be found at the time of my childhood. In fact, I didn’t do much of anything in my childhood. Growing up, and even now, I had a vague sense of what I would be doing when I’m older, as if I was looking through a lens that’s stuck on a blurry aperture. Whatever career interests I had were fleeting and unfitting. During my childhood, I lived in Hanford, an obscure farm town just south of Fresno. I spent my days being raised by my grandmother, sitting alone in my house

over a year. June 24, 2016, I remember standing on the stage at CSU when the old district president gave her words of wisdom to me and I received the district flag. Our first event as an officer team we elected the secretary, treasurer, and parliamentarian. When Sarah, the old district president, stood up to nominate me for Parliamentarian I looked at her like she was crazy. I never thought that I would get the spot until they announced my name as the new parliamentarian. As a new team, we went

My summer went a little like how every teenager in America’s summer goes. Avoiding sunlight at all costs and pressing the ‘next episode’ button on netflix. The exception of this is the most marvelous thing that comes after ice cream and books. Theatre camp. I can’t begin to describe how it feels to perform in musicals in front of thousands of people. performing is taking all these people’s emotions and changing them with scenes and musical numbers. Then when you see the red velvet curtains close

In my 7th year at Bradley Middle School I had, what was arguably, the most embarrassing moment of my life. It was nearly the end of the school year, maybe mid April. That year I was forced to take Theater Arts to complete my fine arts credits so I could graduate. I know now art would have been the easier route, but 7th grade me lived for a challenge. Let me tell you that’s what that class was a challenge. Our assignment had been to recite a monologue that our teacher had chosen for us a couple of

Mr. Betts told his therapist, Dr. MacDuff, a very embarrassing story that occurred on his recent honeymoon. First, he was relieved to be able to discuss the issue and by the end of the session, he had learned to appreciate the humor within the pain of the situation. Later, Dr. MacDuff attended a party at a neighbor's home where they played a game called “Tell us your most embarrassing moment”. Dr. MacDuff used the story about Mr. Betts to spark real laughter in the group and it was the highlight

This year has flown by quickly and sometimes I wonder where all the time went. When I first got my classes I was nervous because most of them were honors with two pre-AP classes. I learned that the classes were not hard if I studied and did my work. I wanted to drop out of my English class but my mother convinced me to stay in. My favorite class was science because we were always doing something interesting and I connected well with everyone. I got the opportunity to be in the school’s Show Choir
