Entering the drama room I am immediately surrounded by the familiar sights, smells and sounds.
Streaks(条纹,线条) of light cast by the blinds of the tall __1_ send shafts(杆状物) of light through
the dusty air. I take a _ 2_ and the concrete and paint _ 3_ tickle my nose. I _ 4 _ everything about
this room.
Some of the _ 5 _ times of my life have been spent here. It"s ironic(讽刺的), but the _ 6 is the
only place where I feel that I don"t have to _ 7_ to be someone I"m not. Like many teenagers, I almost
_8 _ think that people are judging me, but when I act, that feeling disappears. People only look at your
_ 9_ ability, not your clothing, money, choice of friends, or any of the other ways people are usually
_10_.
When I"m on stage, everything else vanishes(消失). All the worries and _11_ of the outside world
are put on hold. Nervousness is still present, _12 _ it"s the excited and tingly kind, not the queasy(不稳
定的) _13___ of being different and alone.

gives me a sense of _17_ to know that I succeed in an area where _18_ others-and virtually(事实上)
no girls-do.
High school is a difficult atmosphere, to put it _19_. Like others, I"m often insecure(不安的), not
_ 20_who I am or where I"m going in life. Wherever that may be, I will always have the confidence I
get from the-ater.
