Ever since I was very young, I have looked to my parents and grandparents, friends and teachers for guidance. I ask them for answersto everything. Afraid to make a , I’ve asked countless times, “What should I do?”
Maybe I was to take my first baby step on my own. I decided I only wanted to do things the “right” way, even if it meant not doing something.
Sometime during my high school years, I . Maybe it was when I decided to try for the lead in “Beauty and the Beast”. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, I would take the chance that I might fail. The day of tryouts my heart was beating wildly. My hands were badly when I got up to sing.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth to sing, the sound was loud, powerful and sweet. I reached for the high notes that sometimes were beyond my reach. With no break in my voice, I was trying to do my best even though I might . But I didn’t. I realized that if I wanted to live life to the fullest, I had to take chances.
Now, I do take these chances with baby steps every day, my opinions in class discussions or debates, performing in other school plays.
I have finally learned to myself. I’m taking a tough science course right now. Some of my friends are talking about auditing（旁听）the class so a low grade won’t affect their opportunities for college. I’m taking the chance that if I try enough, I’ll get a good grade so that it won’t lower my strong grades in other subjects.
I have come to realize that even though my parents and grandparents, friends and teachers don’t always have the to “What should I do?”, they will be there to support me when I try.
“Life is learning to deal with Plan B,” my mother told me. But I now know that the Plan A I make for my life will become easier with every I take.
