Encouraged by my friendly teacher and so many kind classmates, I went back onstage and finished the scene with no further interruptions.The following Thanksgiving day, we were ready for the play. Throughout the performance, we could hear laughter from the audience from time to time. When the performance was over, they gave us a big round of applause. In the following weeks, schoolmates often came up to say, You were good! I was glad my hard work and determination as well as many peoples support had helped me to perform successfully. It positively shaped my later life.
