During my third and final year at Chief Kanim Middle School, I learned a very important lesson. Leadership. I was one of few veterans in the play, and I was not only the lead bird, but the dance captain. I had to pull all my knowledge together about dealing with people, and teaching others, that at first it was difficult. All I wanted to do was scream at the underclassmen. But, as time went on, I became a better and better teacher and friend to those in the play. I learned how to be a leader, and I learned to not let the power get to my head. This play was the best one yet, and I am really proud of everything I learned, and everything that we managed to do as a whole cast.

In seventh grade, I learned to swallow my pride. I played the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland Jr. I thought that it was really cool that I was playing a lead, and I was only a seventh grader (the eighth graders typically got the leads). In reality, I was really annoying, and I never actually realized that the role was 100% typecasted to me. At the time however, all I wanted to do, was tell people how good I was doing, and how great I would be in the show (I was so self-absorbed). Although, by the day of the last performance, I had learned that it doesn't matter how I do individually, but how the cast works together, because there would be no show if even one person didn't show up. That play taught me how to swallow my pride, even when all I want to do it brag.
In sixth grade, I participated in the Chief Kanim Middle School play, Aladdin Jr. This play taught me something that I am still working on today-patience. I picked up choreography faster than most of the people, so I had to learn how to hold back my frustration, because I did not understand why they were not learning as fast as I was. This is a lesson that I have carried on through my life ever since then, and I plan on applying it to everyday situations for the rest of my life.
