Showtime
I really did not want to perform. If I had known I would have to act back in august when I signed on for this class I may have passed on it. I know that at least one person dropped the class when they found out there would be a performance. I stayed because I think it is important for people to get out of there comfort zone and try new things. When you are young people are always telling you what to do. You didn't want to play the piano, you where no good at piano, but though, here is a piano. Play it 30 minutes everyday. When you get older you get to control what you do. Someone asks you to dance and you hate to dance and feel self-concious when you dance so you don't dance. You have a job and maybe you're pretty good at your job but you don't try new things because they are a little uncomfotable and you don't really grow that much. I was very nervous going into the play but I just shit my pants and dove in. Maybe my performance was flat and I flubbed my lines but I fought though it and gained unique public speaking expereince that I would not have gotten anywhere else.

I thought you were excellent. Good work.
Personally I think it's hilarious that people dropped the class because of the performance part. People are SO uptight, conservative, serious, and self-important - everything that Shakespeare's not! I'm glad you stayed in the class.
