“It’s” Gift to Me (Senior Dramatics)

Do you know what it feels like to be slapped and be happy about it, or live the life of a depressed workaholic? Well I have, and let me tell you, it is the greatest feeling ever! I had the great honour of representing my house, the Blue house, in the annual senior dramatics competition. It was an experience which now makes me cry but at the same time fills my heart with joy. I miss the foolishness, the crazinss, all the shouting and screaming of the numerous practices we held. Not only does my heart jump up with joy because we were successful in winning but because I got a chance to

become good friends with some of the most talented people I have ever seen. Dramatics did not only teach me more about art, coordination or team work but it taught me how to appreciate art, it taught me the importance of coordination and it taught me what a gift it is to have a beautiful team for me to work with side by side who will always have me back. I consider dramatics as my gift. It was a gift to me. It gave me unforgettable memories. It gave me the pride to say, “Yes, yes I was the one who played Kabir, the guy who got slapped practically everyday.”
