My mind isn’t so full of gibberish today. It was more like my brain was in full-blown panic mode. Today I heard that there’s a good chance I got the lead role of Rosie in my school’s production of Bye-Bye Birdie. It might not seem like such a big deal, but you don’t know what this show means to me.

When I was in the fourth grade, I was in my first full-blown production at a theatre camp over the summer. I was in the youngest group of kids, and I wanted nothing more than to see the middle-age group of kids perform. That musical was Bye-Bye Birdie. Ever since then, performance has been even more necessary for me. I’ve always known I would perform. There was no question about it for me, and when I was younger I figured that all Rug-rats had their dreams handed to them on a platter (along with a month’s worth supply of candy and Barney VHS’). It never occurred to me that not everyone knew exactly what they were meant to do with their lives.

Long story short, it inspired me even more to chase my dreams. And apparently the director said, “This is her musical”. Don’t I wish!! <3
