Memories of kindergarten!

          TULIPS

            "April 23rd, 2000 we will be having a spring assembly with all different performances from each class, be prepared and remember have fun!" our principle loves assembly’s this is why she loved doing the announcement for it. I also love them because it’s a chance to sing and have from with your class mates. My teacher said she would be picking 4 students to do something for the assembly and that she would pick at the end of the day.

            It was finally the end of the day and my teacher pulled a side 4 students, and guess what one of them was me! I was shocked that I would have to stand in front of a lot of people and sing. But when I saw my other 3 friends that where with me and in it I felt more comfortable. We all still didn’t know what we were doing for the assembly and how it would turn out.

             The next day my 3 friends and I had to stay in to practice and my teacher Mrs. Abraham said she had a great idea for the assembly. We all had to be different color flowers and sing a song. I was blue, and my other friends where yellow, pink and purple. Time was passing by fast and there was 4 days left till the assembly. The day finally came when it was the assembly and I was really scared, practicing every second though out the day and I wanted my parents to be proud. “Next up will be the tulips from Mrs. Abraham’s class singing a song on tulips and spring.”

           As I peeked through the curtains of the stage my heart was beating very fast and I saw about 800 people sitting and waiting for our performance. Singing and dancing was what we had to do for our audience. They loved it a lot, because I heard a lot of cheering and people screaming “Woooohhh!” “Yeaahhh!” all of a sudden I started to feel and do better and better. The more cheers the more singing and dancing I did for our audience. Finally it was done “that was an awesome performance, good job girls!” the speaker of the assembly said.

            When I got off the stage I felt like a pro, and I wanted to do it again! My teacher walked up to my friends and me and told us we did a really good job and that we have to come for the night performance. Apparently, I did have to come in the evening to do my performance again for all the other parents. It wasn’t so bad after all; I would so do that again if I had to. I had a really great time and I will never forget it because it was my first performance in my life.
