When I Was In a School Play

When I was in elementary school. I was in a school play. one day when I went to music class.
My music teacher announced "We are going to have a school play and it's going to be about a circus." Then the class screamed with joy. Then the next day he announced the roles. after he announced the roles he said he had one more role
"Who wants to be the clown scared of a mouse?" He asked Then my hand went flying up. Since nobody else wanted the part. I got picked to play the part. The only problem was that nobody wanted to be the mouse.So my music teacher decided to choose the mouse later. There was different parts for each class.For example one class got to be hyenas and my class got the part of the strongman and tight rope walker and other parts similar to ones in a circus. The play also had a sad clown. After a couple of days my music teacher decided that we need a mouse so I would be able to practice. Finally somebody volunteered to be the mouse. With the play being a couple weeks away my stomach began to grow butterflies. Every time I rehearsed my part every body in the gym would laugh. I would always come up with more ideas to make the audience laugh more. For example, I would trip. Through out the whole three weeks I thought that I was going to mess up. With only the play being one day away I had so many butterflies in my stomach that no more could fit. The next day was the big day in the morning we had one more practice. The play was going to be in the evening. First I had to go home and change. Then I had to go back to school so they can paint my face. As the play started I was very nervous. My part was next and I could see my parents. I was up. I did my part and ran away from the mouse. I tripped as I was supposed to do and I could hear laugh their heads off. I was a big hit. I was congratulated. Everything worked out to be a big success!
