At exactly 6pm the bell was rung which signaled to everyone that dinner was now ready. We all piled in to eat an assortment of chicken, rice, vegetables, and salad. After dinner a bunch of the girls, including myself, sat on the dock letting our feet dangle down by the water and sharing stories trying to get to know one another better. I was surprised to find that a lot of us actually had a lot more in common, other than being in the honors program, then I would of imagined. Later on that night we all gathered around a camp fire enjoying our smore's and anticipating what the next day had in store for us.…
I sit down in my comfy red seat at Academy of Theatre Arts in Williamsville, NY. I look around and see that the house is full. Not one seat was empty. In those seats I see people of all ages with happy, excited expressions on their faces. This got me very excited for the show that was about to be presented for me. I am very anxious for the show to start and suddenly the lights dim, the overture music begins and the curtain opens……
A bunch of my family members was at my graduation. They were very excited for me and cheering very loud because I was about to get my high school diploma. When I got to the gym, everybody was getting ready to walk to the football field. I was thinking that I had finally succeeded and reached the day I had been waiting on since ninth grade. I was happy that I finally reached my goal to graduate on the night that ended high school life and started my college life. Everyone was always asking me what I wanted to do in college after graduation, but I was not sure because I like to cook different things. It is always fun to try…
The only things we could see were the glow-in-the-dark lines of tape on the floor. My breathing grew quick and ragged. My heart pounded. I placed foot in front of foot as the voices on stage signaled that my time was near. I saw the light.…
It was the beginning of my senior year, at Mission Bay high school, the last year of highschool for me and my friends to live out our lives before we move on to college and a whole new ball game. As I walk through the double doors leading into the crazy hallways of Mission Bay I spotted my friends all talking outside of our first hour class, Spanish III. I walk over to them and joined into the conversation of last years and legacies they wanted to leave on the students. My friends and I were the 100th graduating class to come from that high school, so everyone expected us to come up with something great to leave behind.…

As my dance team stepped onto the pitch black stage we closed our eyes and took a deep breath. The curtains opened dramatically, then I saw the Dance professor from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and I froze, I couldn’t feel my legs and my palms were sweating.When I tried to swallow when my throat started to close up. The blinding lights came on and the crowd cheered. I suddenly felt comfortable, the stage was my safe haven from all of the Discomfort I once had. The music started and I smiled. I was ready to perform. This was the best day of my life, well that I thought at the time. I was the star of the show. My parents cheered, and my teacher smiled.…

I could hear the bustle of people out in the crowd as I was getting ready for the dance recital. As I started to get ready for the first dance, someone came in and told us we were going to be starting in a few minutes. We all went and lined up at the foot of the stage because we were one of the first people to go on. “Your next,” I heard from the people helping back stage. Right then I had to run through all of the steps to the dance in my head to make sure that I had everything right. I had worked on the dances for the last 9 months. It was our turn to go on stage.…
