Week 3 Assignment

Chapter 3 was so useful for me. I realized that being optimistic is a key to success. I think I am a kind of optimist, but sometimes I get in a negative spiral…

One clear example was a musical concert on April (I said it in the first class!). The stage was special for me, because it was the first time to sing alone on the stage.

To make a stage, we have to have rehearsal many times. In the rehearsal, all casts and staffs see and check each performance. It was a nightmare for me! At the first rehearsal, I lost myself and forgot everything. Nevertheless the music was going, I could sing at all.

From then, I completely got in the bad spiral. I got to think worse and worse, and be afraid of singing. I felt more nervous and considered how I could quit my role many times.

However, my senpai(senior) changed my heart. She said “You look so depressed! Don’t worry. If you made mistakes, nobody blame you. Just enjoy! How good your singing is not a problem. The problem is whether you have fun!”. Her message made me optimistic.

When I got to be optimistic, I began to see reality: I consider ways to be a better singer. I found it is just a “practice”. I practiced twice times as before. It made me reduce my fear. Fortunately, all members help my practice till late every day.

In consequence, I enjoyed the stage so much (although I made a little mistake…) !! I really thank the senior and other members for cheering up me. Then, I also learned how important being optimistic is.

 “Being optimistic” is my motto whole my life!
