When i was about 10 years old i was part of my first school musical. This was an experience that i will never forget, not only because it was my first time acting in front of an audience, but also because from that moment on i knew that i wanted to be an actress. The musical was called " Alice in Wonderland Jr." I got to play the Cheshire Cat, and this was a big deal for me. As much as presenting was fun, the moments I treasure the most are the rehearsals. Mainly because there was a positive energy being send, and I felt myself having the best time of my life. I am still so grateful for this experience and the other experiences that i was able to go trough after this show. I believe that acting can be used for many occasions such as: expressing your feelings, bringing someone's work into life, and even help you with issues such as presenting a project in front of class or an audience. Many people don't really like to stand up in front of people and so doing some acting exercises can help them. Some people underestimate acting as if it is something that anyone can do, but there are a lot other things that goes on behind a curtain that the audience is not able to see.
