And it's a wrap!

Nerve wrecking, there was a gush of so many emotions at one go - fear, excitement, believe - amongst others
Who knew that I would feel what felt?
Who had suspected that I was capable of feeling extreme relief and pride to the point my heart wavered?
Who ever would have thought that I actually could tear up out of utter happiness?
No one did, not even myself. But I did.
In 5 days,
I wrote a script
Did several voice workouts
Had a script read
Assigned the roles
Did script reading with specific actors
Improved the scenes gradually
Had them begin acting
Reassigned the roles
And
Had the play carried out
All of that in 5 days and with 16 children, most of them who could hardly sit still.
Yes, it is something I am very proud of, because this is a milestone. Through all the stress and the relentless need for the children to pay attention to me (which only works when I threaten to take out their roles), I actually did it. With the help of one of my colleagues regarding the initial concept of the script, and another one who assisted in maintaining order in the class, I actually did it. It is an accomplishment, so frightening and thrilling, that at the end if it all, I trembled out of sheer joy.
Okay maybe I am exaggerating what I felt to some extent, but that feeling was extremely new and raw to me that I felt a need to put it into flamboyant words so that I can remember what it felt like.
I want to feel that again. The achievement of accomplishing something so great, to the point you keep thinking 'wow I can't believe this is what it really looks like'
Through all the stumbles and fumbles, it still looked perfect to me. Thank you life, for giving me this chance to know that I am capable in doing even greater things.
And thank you kids, for doing an amazing job, I am so proud of you all :')
