to join my high school musical. To many that seems to be one of the most mundane things a student could do in high school‚ but to me it was a huge step. Being involved in the musical has had a large impact on my life. When I was younger I was heavily involved in ballet and a few one act plays on middle school‚ but high school drama was a whole new creature that I was terrified of.
