Entering the drama room I am immediately surrounded by the familiar sights, smells and sounds. Streaks(条纹,线条) of light cast by the blinds of the tall __1_ send shafts(杆状物) of light through the dusty air. I take a _ 2_ and the concrete and paint _ 3_ tickle my nose. I _ 4 _ everything about this room. Some of the _ 5 _ times of my life have been spent here. It's ironic(讽刺的), but the _ 6 is the only place where I feel that I don't have to _ 7_ to be someone I'm not. Like many teenagers, I almost _8 _ think that people are judging me, but when I act, that feeling disappears. People only look at your _ 9_ ability, not your clothing, money, choice of friends, or any of the other ways people are usually _10_. When I'm on stage, everything else vanishes(消失). All the worries and _11_ of the outside world are put on hold. Nervousness is still present, _12 _ it's the excited and tingly kind, not the queasy(不稳 定的) _13___ of being different and alone. I _14_ love to work backstage and on lighting. I _15_ you could find another girl who would work on a ladder _16 her elbows in cables and dust and love every second of it. It makes me unique and gives me a sense of _17_ to know that I succeed in an area where _18_ others-and virtually(事实上) no girls-do. High school is a difficult atmosphere, to put it _19_. Like others, I'm often insecure(不安的), not _ 20_who I am or where I'm going in life. Wherever that may be, I will always have the confidence I get from the-ater. |
