On Being in the Spotlight

Yes I've been on the stage several times. If I'm not mistaken it's more than 10 times, to say the least. Of course being on the stage just to receive some gifts or certificates does not count. The reason I being on the stage may be not that great like performing in a musical or something like that, but I can say I did performing something in front of the audience and receiving lots of applause for that. The following is about my experience from the first time performing on a stage to the most recent one. Stage lights The first one was when I was still in kindergarten. Not much to say about that but I can say being exposed to stage performance since my earlier days does help in overcoming my nervousness and embarrassment standing in front of a crowd. During my teenage years I took part in school dramas, after encouragement by my big sisters who was a drama queen in her high school. During my college time I gave speeches several times on stage too because I was active in extra-curricular activities. And the most recent one is (last year) I performed in stage demonstration for wing chun kung fu.
