I was a cast member in a play version of you cant take it with you. I played Penny

I had to improvise when another cast member forgot thier lines.

What I said got me a standing ovation, I was shocked. Felt like I was going to pass out. I sat back down at the table . To this day
I cant remember what I said.

The drama teacher was so kind I'll never forget her. As soon as I got offstage she helped me calm down and told me no they werent making fun of me,that they were showing me appreciation.

I have been bullied a lot and except for art,drama ,the planetarium,and shop class it was hell in that school.
