The Moment I Felt Most Proud of Myself

Have you ever had a time when you felt really, really proud of yourself? Like your heart was soaring and you wanted to jump up and down with excitement? Well, I had a moment just like that not too long ago. It was honestly one of the best feelings ever!

It all started a few months back when my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, announced that our class would be putting on a big play at the end of the year. She said we could vote on which story we wanted to perform. After we voted, it turned out the winning play was going to be \"The Big Friendly Giant\" by Roald Dahl. I had read that book before and loved the story of Sophie and her adventures with the Big Friendly Giant. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to be in the play at first. Getting up on stage in front of everybody seemed kind of scary. What if I messed up my lines or fell down? My face got hot just thinking about it.

A bunch of other kids raised their hands right away when Mrs. Johnson asked who wanted to audition for a role. Not me though. I just sat there silently. I'm usually one of the quieter kids and don't like a lot of attention on me.

Later that day though, my best friend Jayden came up to me and said \"Zoe, you HAVE to try out for the play! You'd make an awesome Sophie.\" He knew how much I loved that book.

I thought about it and decided Jayden was right. If I didn't at least audition, I might really regret it. So I worked up my courage and told Mrs. Johnson I wanted to audition for the role of Sophie.

There were a few other girls who auditioned for Sophie too. We had to act out a couple scenes from the book and read our lines out loud. I was really nervous at first, but then I imagined I wasn't on a stage - I was just in my bedroom playing pretend. That calmed me down a lot.

A week later, Mrs. Johnson posted the cast list on the classroom wall. I looked and looked, and finally saw my name - I had been chosen to play Sophie! I somewhere between wanting to cheer and being scared to death.

From then on, we practiced the play a lot. Like, pretty much every single day after school. The rest of the students played the Giant, the other orphans, Mr. and Mrs. Clonkers, and all the other characters. Some kids also helped make the backgrounds and props.

Rehearsals were not easy. I had so many lines to memorize! Sometimes I'd get flustered and mix them all up. But I didn't give up. I just kept practicing and practicing. My parents even helped run lines with me at home.

Finally, it was opening night of the play. My stomach felt like it had a billion butterflies fluttering around in it. But I was as ready as I could be. I took a few deep breaths before going out on stage, just like my drama teacher had shown us.

The first few minutes were pretty scary, I'm not gonna lie. The auditorium was packed full of parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. All those eyes watching me! But then a magical thing happened - I reentered Sophie's world in the book and forgot I was on a stage.

From then on, I spoke my lines confidently and got totally into character. I pretended the Giant was really there towering above me. I reacted to things like I was truly afraid, excited, or whatever emotion Sophie felt in that scene. When something funny happened, I let out a big genuine laugh.

In what seemed like no time at all, we were at the curtain call taking our bows. The crowd erupted with thunderous applause and cheering. I couldn't believe it was finally over and that I'd made it through without messing anything up!

After the show, so many people came up to congratulate me and said I had done an amazing job. My parents gave me a huge hug and told me they were proud. Mrs. Johnson said I had perfectly captured the spirit of Sophie. Even some of the older kids said my performance was impressive for a third grader. But you know what made me feel most proud? The fact that I had overcome my fear and insecurity. That shy little me had stepped way outside my comfort zone and dared to be brave. Sure, I was afraid at first. But I didn't let that fear stop me from trying something new and challenging myself.

When I went to bed that night, I replayed the show over and over in my mind with a big smile on my face. I felt so happy, accomplished, and just plain proud of myself. All the hard work had completely paid off with those moments of glory on stage. Ever since then, I've been way more confident about putting myself out there and trying new experiences - even if they seem scary at first. I know that if I dig deep and persist, I can do pretty much anything I set my mind to.

So that's the story of the moment I felt most proud of myself so far. Who knows, maybe one day I'll feel that amazing sense of pride again from something even bigger! An award, a

competition, or some other accomplishment. For now though, I'll

never forget the night I was Sophie and showed the world (and myself) that I could shine on stage.
