My heart was pounding as I walked through the theater stage. It was such a thrill that I forgot the words of the drama. Even worse, my friend mocked me in front of every people in the class. ”You are the worst performer but don’t worry my friend. Instead of being a snow white, you can be a witch,” he said, with sardonic eyes. His words were bullets to me. It was like a giant hole was pummeled into my chest. I started chewing on my lower lip and my tears escaped. It was the worst experience I have ever had. From then on, all I could think was quitting theater class. I could never go into that class again because I felt cheap like thirty cents!

I listen quietly and attentively. She continues, ”But, you have to just carry on. Remember, you can’t have success without sacrifice. As the saying goes, no pain no gain.” Her words made sense on that day. I didn’t need to make big life decisions based on other peoples opinions, because it was my life. On another day, I attended theater class as if nothing had happened. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. As time goes by, the theater boosted my self-confidence and self-esteem. When I was thirteen years old, I took part in a theater contest. The Contest was held at the Istanbul State Theatre on the proscenium stage. It has an architectural frame.
