Personal Narrative Assignment

I am reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare.  My assignment is to write a personal narrative about a time when I felt excited and nervous about something I was about to do.  (Note:  My other blog posts are not school assignments.)

Recently, I took a class called Y. A. T., (Young Actors Theatre) and I had an adventure. I made new friends, and played new games. We performed Alice in Wonderland, where Alice went to Wonderland at different ages in her life. Six girls got to play Alice, including me. We dressed in extravagant, home made blue- and- white outfits, with blue eyeshadow. When it was time to perform, I felt as nervous as a president doing a speech in front of the whole country of America. I swallowed vomit and gasped for air.  The people trying to talk to me, or even making the slightest  bit of noise, overwhelmed and bothered me.  Once I was up on stage and saw that nobody was failing their parts,  a feeling of excitement aroused the atmosphere.   I had an amazing time, and was awarded True Actress Award.
