My Best Beauty Pageant
As presently as the multitude, Jason The Local Celebrity Jacobsen, introduced me to the crowd as a wonderfully gifted dancer I thought I was in trouble and had made a mistake because my specialty achievement was singing, not dancing I could feel the rush of blood bolt from my head and I became so light-headed that I had to lean against the private railing that was leading up to the stage behind the velvet curtains. I could feel the cold sweat beginning to condense on my forehead. I echo thinking, Oh noMy make-up is going to smear My mom later(prenominal) told me that my eyes were as big as apples when I shot a glance at her right after he said that I would be dancing for my special talent section. I nervously walked step up onstage with my hands shaking and sheepishly walked up to Jason to whisper to him in his ear, Sorry Jason, but I like to sing more(prenominal) than I like to dance so Im going to sing, O. K.? He smelled like expensive eau de cologne and his hair had wa y too oft gel in it. I thought he was going to get me aside of the pageantThankfully he handled it like the good host he was and hence he apologized to the crowd for his egregious error and then he excitedly announced to the crowd, We are in for a great surprise, we are going to be serenaded by melodic phrase instead of dance, get laid He looked back at me with a huge, fake smile and delivered the well-tried and true line, Alright, the stage is yours, take it away It almost felt like I was in a cheesy teenaged Disney movie. As soon as the lights dimmed and the crowd settled in I knew I was going to be great.I composed myself, took a few deep breaths and waited for the song to begin. After all, I had practiced I Believe I tush Fly by R. Kelly hundreds of times before. Of course it was going to be great. adjust? I remembered the first time I heard the song at the end of the movie Space Jam with Michael Jordan and I immediately heavy-handed in love with the song because of the hope it inspires. I remembered singing it to my parents at the dinner table the night before the pageant and them standing up and cheering for me after I had finished.Most of all, I remembered waking up in the morning and immediately posing in front of my bedroom mirror, common cockscomb/mic in hand, and belting out I Believe I shadow Fly before I hopped in the shower and to sing it some more. If you want to know the truth, I dont even remember singing in the pageant. As soon as it had begun, it was over. All those flashbacks moldiness have occurred while I was on stage. The next thing I knew the crowd was on their feet and clapping and cheering. For me I couldnt believe it.Jason Jacobsen came out from backstage and gave me a wonderful hug and I smelled his god-awful cologne again and then the next instant I was back in the dressing room sitting in disbelief staring at myself in the mirror. I had no clue if I even sing the right words but all I can set up you is that was t he greatest feeling Ive ever had in my whole inbuilt life It didnt even matter to me whether I won or not, I had fulfilled my dream of performing my favorite song in front of an audience of strangers, and apparently they even liked it. Who could ask for more? I was really flying
