Dad gave me a speech recently.He wanted to help me find answers to all my questions.Since I was very young, I've asked “What should I do？” many times.I just didn't want to make mistakes.Maybe it was because I was a little scared to take my first step by myself.
During my middle school years, I changed.It was when I decided to try for the lead(主角) in Beauty and the Beast without asking Dad for advice.I didn't mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements (动作)．Also, I was willing to take the risk of failing.
On the day of the audition (试镜), I kept telling myself, “If you can't do it well, just don't go.” My hands were shaking so badly that I couldn't say clear words.I wasn't certain whether people would hear me.
But something happened.When I opened my mouth, I found the sound was loud, powerful and sweet! It was fantastic! I was trying bravely even though I might fail.But I didn't.That audition was an important part of the process of growing.
That day, I realized that if I want to enjoy my life completely, I have to push myself, because others don't have the answer to the question “What should I do？”．Now, I take these small chances every day.For example, I share my opinions in class discussions.
“Life is learning to handle something unexpected，” Dad said in his speech.But I now know that the plan I make for my life will become easier and easier as I take more chances.
