defining Moments
My most recent "defining moment" happened not too long ago. I have been a part of the Lion King Jr. musical at my school, and I was casted as Simba. We got the chance to perform it in front of the student body, which we had never done before with any other production. I was exited, but at the same time, terrified. To make things better, I was already having an awful week, so I wasn't at my best. I was getting a cold, plus I got into a pretty emotional fight with my parents the night before. The morning of, the sixth and seventh grade class came down to watch. We had an okay show; nothing went terribly wrong, but there were a few mistakes. For that performance in particular, it felt like my mind was somewhere else. Afterward, I was mad at myself, and worried that our next performance for my eighth grade class would go just as bad. When it came time, I nailed my entrance, and I saw all of my friends. Their faces lit up, and they began to cheer! (They were all sitting together in the middle of the auditorium, to make it all better.) In the middle of the song, they began to chant my name! Nothing is cooler than that. All of the sudden, I had motivation; a light began to grow inside of me. When the song was over and the lights went out, I heard one of the loudest cheers I had ever heard in that auditorium. It was the best feeling
When we ran bows, I ran on to the stage and everyone began to chant "MVP". After bows, we ran into the commons. As everyone began to leave, I was swooped up and help into the air as people were still going crazy. I hope everyone can live in a moment like that. I dont think I'll ever forget that day.

I'm human, and I'm young. There's so much I have left to learn and experience. Over the years there has been people who have made their way into my life and manipulated me in one way or another. They've made me think or act a certain way. Sometimes, I'll get too stressed out, or something pushes me over the edge. In the moment, I don't realize it. My parents, however, always do. They'll talk to me about it, and put everything in a different perspective. They always tell me things, and it may take a minute for me to think about it, but they're always right. Without them, I don't know where I'd be That never really was a thing until middle school. The worst years of my life. You know, I go back and forth on that all of the time. It's brought great opportunities and things for me, but just as well, what has it made me? Am I who I want to be? I'll never know who I could've been. Regardless, every time I was life defeated me, my parents helped me up, and made me who I am today. Every time we've had those talks, it defined me.
The last one of my defining moments that I'll list was in seventh grade (I've already mentioned this one on my friends page). I began talking to a person who I never liked. It was different for me, because I am the kind of person that holds grudges. But when I sat behind a guy named Brayten in my language class, I didn't see a jerk, or a stuck up snob anymore. I saw a cool, funny guy, who I thought I'd enjoy being around. I was right. He is now my best friend, and I'd do anything for him.
