History Makers!!!!!!!!!!!

When we were told to cancel the production for our theater class, I was almost ready to give it all up, but then we were given a second chance and for a while it seemed reassuring. The assurance, though, was short-lived...a few days after negotiations were made, lapses still weren't corrected and not everyone was eager to continue. The flicker of hope dwindled with the passing of days, and eventually came to a point where the thought of a murderous written exam became more relieving than a second stab at a one-night performance. I was more than ready to raise the white flag in surrender, but what kept me going were those few who still believed we could pull it off. I remember thinking these people were perhaps disillusioned but I never said anything, afraid to be the one to dampen another's optimism -- God knows,we've had enough of that from our instructor.

Come judgement night, I and the rest of the team geared up for battle, each with different things on our minds...some were anxious, some were exhausted, some were excited, and most were praying for consideration,and a few were ready to throw in the towel...I just wanted it over and done with. The verdict was given and with it came shouts and tears of joy, I didn't get to hear the announcement myself but the shower of hugs was more than a tell-tale sign: we had made history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were the first batch to have our play cancelled on the basis of unsatisfactory work ethics but we were also the first to emerge from a second chance with more than flying colors. The original condition was that we'd be given one night to perform in the Little Theatre if ever we convinced our instructor that we could do it, which was rather unlikely as he liked to point out over and over and over again. What resulted was a permission to perform the usual 3 NIGHTS...2 nights more than what we had bargained for!!!!!!!!!!! One could just imagine the high that everyone got after that announcement.

So there you have it...we might've been the first batch in history to have our play cancelled but we are also the first batch to defy all the odds stacked up against us. We got pretty scarred but we're still standing; proving to everyone who thinks we're no good that we are quite the opposite ......perhaps that's just batch pride talking, but could you really blame me????? I have a tremendous amount of pride and most of it I owe to my batchmates and the people who never fail to teach and amaze me, constantly reminding me that a losing battle is still worth fighting for!!! =p DEVCOM BAYEEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =p
