When I was young I loved taking part in high school musicals．I loved to
36 in front of hundreds of people．In one production, I auditioned（试音）like
37 else. My music teacher was
38 that I would get a particular part in the music drama. The part I thought I had was a
39 lead who sang some of the most beautiful love songs.
But one day the show director pulled me aside. I was
40 to be offered the leading role. To my disappointment, he said, “Bob, I found a boy with an excellent voice. I need to give the
41 to him.”
From that moment on I began hating music class. I
42 that I didn’t like what we were singing. My music teacher didn’t know why. She
43 me in front of the class and told me I had changed. She didn’t know what I had been told. But when they
44 the finalists, I was given a
45 role. For some time my pride was
46 with having to do something I didn’t think I should be doing. But I did it. The minor role I had
47 to be much more fun than I had expected. My performance even
48 my brother who was also in the audience.
Life is really like a
49 and although we do not audition for the role, each of us is
50 by the director to play a certain part in it. The
51 is that we sometimes don’t like the part we are given. Like me in high school I became
52 -–if I couldn’t be the lead, I wouldn’t show up for rehearsal（彩排）.
Then we wonder why we feel so
53 . Sometimes we don’t even feel like we are a part of the “Big Show. ” Everyone does indeed have a role. Some are in front of the curtain, some are behind, but all are
54 for the show to go on. All
55 to success no matter how minor the part is.
