Failure: Friend of Foe?
I don't know about you, but when I set out to make steps to follow a dream, one of my biggest fears if failure. I am afraid that I'll put my heart and soul into a project only to mess it up. Fail. In my Senior year of high school, I auditioned for the fall play. (It was the non-musical production of the drama department.) I had high hopes of making it into the play because I had made the play in my Junior year and I if anything, I had learned and gotten better. So, I was sure to make it my Senior year, right? Wrong. I went from a main role in the fall play one year to no role at all the next. Heart-wrenching experience. All sorts of questions about my talents and abilities haunted my mind. I had failed. I did audition for the Musical the next spring, but I had been too scared of trying out for a lead role. I tried out for ensemble-and made it. Looking back, I wish I would have at least tried for a lead. Because by auditioning for the ensemble only, I had limited myself. Fe
