and rejected by my classmates.My oly comfort was to be the Mage manager at our hool.
One day.sctors from the famous Oregoo Shakespeare Festival came to perform for the school.One
of them was Barry Kraf,and he was unlike anyoae I'd ever met As I rn around backstnge helping
him,heeditfricadliness and respect that hewoud shwforfriends in his livingroom.
He showed up at our drama class and asked everyone to narrate a wonologuc ()To my
shock,he took rae aside after class and said."Your monologue was the best That was really very
good”
I made i1 through gradustion and got accepted to college.That sumerI traveled with a friend to
see Mr.Kraft perform During one performance.I gathcred up my courage and dropped him a note
during the break.saying I was vsiting and ifbe looked he could see us.Almost immediately I regreted
sending the note.I thought it w飞the mo城presumnptuous(日失的)thing I had ever done,
At the end of the show,he was waiang for me!He smiled broadly and gave me a bug.Then he
said,"Would you like to visit buckstnge "And off we went Every time we met somcone,he
