Total Performer

During my elementary and high school days, I am known to be a performer. Whenever our school holds a program, expect that I am always present and performing at the stage in front of my schoolmates and faculties.

As I have always said, dancing is my passion that’s why I am one of the popular dancers in our school. I joined one of our organizations in our school which is the Theater Arts Club and this is where I developed my talent including acting and a bit of singing.

Likewise, most of the time, I am chosen by our class to represent our section during the school beauty pageants. But then again, though I am used in performing in front of many people, I sometimes feel strange especially during the interviews in the pageants. I sometimes stutter and worst, I do experience public speaking anxiety. I just don’t know why this one happens. Even though I know the answer to the question and no matter how I am prepared before the actual speech, in the end, I am stunned and have all the butterflies in my stomach.

Maybe speaking in front of many people is not my thing. That’s why, whenever I join a pageant, I can’t help but feel nervous when I think about the idea of interviews and talking at the middle of the stage while all eyes are looking at me, waiting and listening for my words.

Oh well, I just hope that eventually I will be able to deal with this problem. But for now, I am pretty happy and contented in dancing and acting. LOL!
