Block 2

The fall show

A lot of loud talking was going on. Not outside (where I was), but in the audience. I was anxiously waiting to go on stage. There was a lot going in my head, all at once. What happens if I mess up? What happens if I don't do the right thing? What happens it I am the only one doing something? What happens if I get off beat?

I was in kindergarten, at Rolling Hills Country Day. We were putting on a fall show. I saw my parents and Uncle Ron in the audience. I had a lot energy body, but butterflies in my stomach. Everything was ready to go. The teacher finally told us to go in.

We were going in, two by two. It was me and my partners turn to go. As nervous as I was, I went in with a smile that glimmered the room. Well, at least that what my parents told me. When everyone got in, we started singing. It was very squashy and sticky on the stage. The light were directly pointing us. Every time we moved, we had to squeezed through to get to our next position for the next song.

We were singing and having a good time. I was thinking that I over reacted for no reason. I was on fire! I did everything right and I didn't miss a beat. Until........we started singing, "whirly, twirly, whirly, twirly in the air. Whirly, twirly, whirly twirly everywhere."

I was so into that song…

That I was singing when the music was over. This is how it went, "whirly." Then I stopped singing. I was so embarrassed that I did that! I almost started crying but, I stayed strong! Everyone was laughing. Even my parents were laughing. Also, my fellow classmates were laughing. Everyone was laughing so hard, they almost fell to the ground. People were almost crying because they laughed so hard. Everyone was imitating me! That was one of the most embarrassing days of my life.

Even though I was really embarrassed, I had to think that there would be many times when this happens. That day I just stood there. Actually, I was proud because I got to do a mini solo. Now, every time I do something embarrassing, I think to this time and how I know everything will ok.
