Stage Crew Meeting Narrative

Decent Essays
When I was a sophomore, I was just as shy as I was when I was a freshman, so going to a new club meeting was daunting. But, I loved theater, so I had no excuse not to go to the stage crew meeting at my school. I went to the meeting, didn’t speak to anyone and when I left I felt okay. I still felt nervous and maybe a little intimidated by the people I saw at the meeting and the director. Not to mention that I saw the schedule that I would have to commit to if I was a part of this production. There was one week where I would have to stay at school till eight o’ clock at night, every day. I wasn’t sure if I could do it. I wasn’t sure if I could do it mentally, with the people always being around and having to balance school work. But I told myself

    I decided against going to school the day of the performance because my nerves got the best of me. The next day I arrived to class and everyone gave me a round of applause when I walked into the room. The credit and acknowledgment from my peers made me feel good, for it let me know that they really liked it. Hearing how they were both moved and inspired by my play made me feel as though my writing had a purpose. I felt that maybe I should not be afraid of what others think because they just might like it.…

    In 2012 I arrive at a place called First Stage at 3:30 in a room filled with over 150 kids. I have to check in at a desk and a lady takes my picture and then gives me 2 forms to fill out.

    Essay On Mt. Horeb

    As human beings we inherently fear change, especially those of us with social shortcomings, who prefer routine schedules to overwhelmingly new experiences and unpredictability. Such was the case for me. My family moved when I was just turning three years old to Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, a small town of about 8,000 people, located about thirty miles from Madison. Mount Horeb is a quaint suburb known for its Norwegian heritage. It is a fine place to raise a family, but as I got older, I realized that I no longer felt welcomed and sheltered by the small and tightly-knit community, but rather I felt trapped, paralyzed by the limitations of a suffocating town.…

    Transitioning from middle school to high school is scary enough, not to mention finding out that your best friends won’t be attending that same school adds a little pressure on a pre-teen who, for the most part is really shy. When I first started high school I had a cousin who was a year older than me, she showed me around school and I ended up hanging out with her and her friends for a few months. Then she introduced me to some of her newer friends who were in the same grade as me. They were nice people and they got me through the first year of high school, but I never felt like I belonged to “their group”.…

    A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…

    Joining the Drama club, is one of the decisions I am most proud of. However it has always required a lot from me as a person. When I first joined I knew it would take dedication and some time after school. I, however, was not aware it would take nights of hardly any sleep, seeing members of drama more then my own family, sacrificing hours upon my weekdays and weekends, all the while keeping a good great point average. As I look back to last year, I am still shocked that I was able to participate in two shows and maintain a 4.0 state gpa.…
