3rd of June, the only day that I thought about when I was anxious, the day that caused most of my anxiety. And you know why? Because it was School Day. The day when families would get inside of my school and see what the students had been doing. Each year, every class had something planned to do for school day, and this one wasn't different.
But it was for me, because the drama club would present a play that we were getting ready since the beginning of this term. And besides all of the anxiety of public speaking and the fear to fail, I was going to play the role...of a woman. It wasn't like I had anything against dressing as a woman, but I was afraid of what people could say.
But Daniel -you might be asking- if you have anxiety, why are you on the drama club? Believe or not, I was asked that question before. And I'm going to answer.
First of all, many people in drama club have anxiety. At least four people there have.
And then there's the other one. Before I was in this school, I went to another and we would go on lots of trips. And almost half of them were in theaters. One of my first memories happened in one of those trips. I remember it like it was yesterday. We were watching Cinderella, and I was amazed by the actors and everything else. It was so beautiful. And then, one of the actresses said that she would call three people to go on stage. And out of dozens of children, I was picked. Me! I went on stage, and they gave me a suit to wear. And when we were over, I went backstage, and I saw everyone talking, totally out of their characters, and I just kept asking myself how could they act so well. Since then, I wanted to try to do it too.
And today was that day. Time passed by really quickly, and in a blink of an eye, I was getting ready for going on stage. I had to wear a dress, and I was having some problems wearing it. Finally, I managed to make it fit, and everyone went backstage. I really liked the backstage moments, they were really funny.
Those moments helped me to forget about my problems and my anxiety. But I remembered them as soon as I heard the song that played before I got on stage. I started breathing heavily, really fast, I hugged Jack and Mary, and then the lines before I got there started being said.
This was it. I closed my eyes, I took a deep breath, and I went on stage.
Cliffhanger! I'm sorry this was a small chapter, but I just had to post it.
