I have always loved acting so much since when I was in year 3 when a teacher tried to get me in trouble. I did nothing wrong but the teacher had to say me that my other friend used a skipping rope to hit another student. First, it is impossible for two students to use one skipping rope to hit another student and second if my friend and I did hit the student, my friends that are around me would have known and told the teacher at that time but since I did not do it, the student and the teacher that were not even there said I did. At that time, I was in year 3 so I don’t really know how to act or debate so I just had to take it. After that, the teacher was happy as ever so inside my heart, I still think about it after a few weeks. One day when my friend “accidentally” hit a student with a baseball bat. The teacher then asked us and we then told the truth by accident and then he got a little bit mad. We then started learning how to act and argue so we can use them in the future. That is when I started to like acting and learn more about it and try to make it fun for me and my friends. It was when I moved to All Saints in Year 5 when there was a subject called drama. It got me excited and it was the only subject I actually enjoyed. I got better each time when my teacher give me comments on how to improve and by the end of the semester, I got a B. To me, this is a failure, inside my heart I know I can do better than this so I tried to improve as much as I can and it was in year 6 when I tried my hardest in every lesson and assessment there is. When I got my report I was really surprised.

Yeah, I got an A but it does not mean I will get another A the next semester if I don’t try even more than what I could do in semester 1. I don’t celebrate too early. As time goes by, I celebrate with my friends, have fun in class and learn new things every lesson. It was near the end when the teacher came up to me. I was a little bit scared honestly, I thought I did something wrong but I refused to let myself down so I listen to him. He then told me to stay back after the lesson. My whole class, let’s say, they think I am in trouble so they are like, ” Oh Sau got in trouble!” That put me even more down but I tried to stay calm and pretend nothing had happened. After when everybody left the class and a few of my friends waiting for me outside, the teacher then said to me in a very special tone I still can’t describe. He said to me word by word, “You are born to be an actor.” I was kind of confused and think the teacher know my friends are outside so the teacher tried to not say anything about it. I then asked him if was that true and the teacher said to me, “You are gifted to be an awesome actor.” This then really brighten me up. I feel like I was dreaming because I don’t think a teacher would say that. But then I can tell in the teachers eye’s that he meant it. It was in Year 7 in term 2 I had drama again. I tried my hardest and got the same results. One day when I was walking with my mum to my locker, the teacher then came up to me and my mum, I was panicking because I thought I did something wrong. She then said out of nowhere “Your child, Drama is natural for him. He is born to be an Actor.” My mum then looked at me and I smiled. That is when I know maybe my strength is acting.
