Personal Narrative: Not Your Average Theatre Kid
Not Your Average Theatre Kid
I am a shy person. Teachers seem to love me since I stay quiet in class and I do my work. I hear drama left and right about this student and that student. I am a quiet person. Except when I am on stage.
I am a different person when I am on stage. I am loud and I am proud. I am able to leave the shy girl. I might not be the best actor, and I might not be someone who gets the lead roles and speaking parts. I found my confidence in theatre. I found happiness through theatre, and I don’t regret signing up for the class.
I remember in sophomore year when I took my first theatre class. I was quiet and a little scared of my classmates. They were willing to scream across the room and I found myself with a closed throat
when I tried. My classmates assumed that I would never project. However, when I stood on stage and performed my monologue. I was loud and clear. After that, acting became a part of me.
To some people, theatre is something that has become their lifestyle. I can tell that some of my classmates will become award-winning actors. To me, theatre was an eye-opener. I can’t keep to myself for the rest of my life. I want to be successful. Sometimes, I take that risk and go out of my comfort zone.
Most theatre kids, as my school calls us, are loud and outgoing. They are extroverts. I am quiet and reserved. I am an introvert. I am opposite of the stereotype, and that is what makes me love theatre even more. I prove that shy kids can be on stage. I show that you can be introverted and act. I might be different than the average theatre kid, but that doesn’t stop me.
