Monologue

Everything was about to change

This was my first time about to do something like this

I was scared

What if I tear something what if does hurt like everybody says

Im about to be exposed like never before

Will this be such a pleasurable experience like everyone says

It was all so new, so different

Was I even ready for this?

Well it doesn’t matter now, its too late too back out

My heart was pumping

The air was hot

Anxiety at the max, all my emotions stirring at once

It was now my time to show that I can handle this

My time to prove to people who I am as a person

Finally, they called on the Brooklyn Tech Lady Dragons

I stepped out and lined up with my girls

And we stepped our hearts out that day

It was such an exhilarating experience

And that was the day we took home first place at our step competition

We won first ever since and eventually went to Nationals

The Brooklyn Tech Lady Dragons 2013 Competition Squad was 4th nationally

this picture above is a picture of how i see myself. In this picture i am the little ducky in the middle. i have always been an outcast, not that much always but I’ve always been the quiet one in a group of loud people. Until recently, i have became more bold and more of the loud person in a group of quiet people, but that doesn’t happen often. it’s only when i have the courage to do it. In elementary school and junior high school, i was always really smart. in high school i was the only one or one of at most two in a class. i wasn’t even always the prettiest so that’s why i am a duck and not a swan. I’m just an ordinary 18 year old, African American girl.
