Dramatic Monologue
My heart was racing, only got four hours of sleep. My nerves are on edge. I’m worried I will not find my classes. I walked the crowned hallways with red and black stripes on the walls. With my head down, I make my way swiftly through the mass of people. I became more anxious, more on edge. While waiting in the lobby for my friends to arrive, the thoughts and eagerness to know what was in store for my freshman year began to overcrowd my mind.
After waiting for a few minutes my friends arrive. We are all smiling and laughing, because we are finally in high school. “I hope everyone had a great summer,” my friend Mary said. I went back to summer, remembering the beautiful mountains of Boone. My thoughts are halted by the morning bell. My first

I thanked her and opened the doors to the auditorium. There was a mixture of freshmen, juniors, and some seniors. Ms. White was easy to find. She was wearing a bright neon orange shirt with khakis. “Welcome everyone!” Ms. White said excitedly. She began to tell the class the rule and requirements for her class. “Monologues will be due Monday morning.” I heard Ms. White say. My nerves could not catch a break. After class, I went home and wrote my monologue. I did not want to present my monologue to the class. I was shy and knew no one in my class. I told myself repeatedly that I could do it. Monday morning was here before I knew it. The feeling of dread filled me, and I wanted to back out, receive my zero with pride. When I arrived at school, my monologue clutched firmly in my hand, I made my walk of dread to the auditorium. I got to door and took a deep breath, and walk inside. Everyone were a little scared of presenting their monologues with the class, so I felt a fraction of a bit better. When my name was called, my heart dropped. I was not ready to do this at all, but a part of me wanted to get it over with. I unfolded my paper and began to read my monologue. It felt like I have been on stage forever, saying my monologue. I got through it, just like I got through freshman

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    I imagined exactly how the day would go, I would walk into the very nice well-kept room. Say my name, watch some videos, I’d take the test, get 100%, and be on my way to Wendy’s where I would eat chicken nuggets and french fries as a celebratory lunch with my dad, who would accompany me throughout the class. Or so I thought, but does anything ever turn out like you thought it would? No, It never does, that day went nothing like I planned.…

    The halls reeked with fear; there was an ominous feeling in the air. The rooms were constantly being occupied, up and down, up and down; people, doctors, and patients strolled around. The looks on their faces displayed various emotions that cannot simply be explained with words. Today had not been my greatest day, and clearly I wasn't the only going through a tough time.…

    As I walked into the barbers for my weekly shave I notice the barber sharpening his razors. The colour drains from his face, and though I can not see it, I know he’s trembling. I almost laugh, it’s like he wants to be caught. I begin to remove my belt, as it holds my gun and my cartridges, the weapon that killed his allies, and notice him eyeing it nervously. I stop myself from smiling as I hang it onto the hook in the wardrobe and rest my hat on top.…

    I could hear the bustle of people out in the crowd as I was getting ready for the dance recital. As I started to get ready for the first dance, someone came in and told us we were going to be starting in a few minutes. We all went and lined up at the foot of the stage because we were one of the first people to go on. “Your next,” I heard from the people helping back stage. Right then I had to run through all of the steps to the dance in my head to make sure that I had everything right. I had worked on the dances for the last 9 months. It was our turn to go on stage.…

    The vile odour of disinfectant permeates the air around me. My heart is racing and my trembling, sweaty hands cling onto my mother’s like a sloth to its branch. Gradually, more doctors begin to crowd around me, resembling vultures hovering over their prey, preparing to strike. The clanging of metal instruments and beeps of various machines distract me momentarily. Looking over to my left, I see a stout, middle-aged man donned in a green surgical gown. He is wearing a big, red foam nose and a multi-coloured cap, with a peculiar propeller-like object perched on top of it. I almost burst out laughing, but fear latches onto me. My eyes pan down from his cap to the sharp object in his hand. Who even is this man? What is he going to do with that?…

    Dramatic Intro Flashing lights were blinding my vision, and emergency sirens were screaming in my ears, both making it hard to process the situation I was in. I looked around praying to find something familiar that could possibly give me guess as to what was happening, but was interrupted by sharp creaking of a metal door, which robbed my attention. I looked towards the direction the sound was coming from and was shocked to see the face of a man, I tried moving but couldn’t. Confused I asked him “what the he** is going on?”, but he didn't answer my question, instead he yelled to, what i'm assuming was another person, “he’s alive, but the door has him pinned”. Sadly he was right, because when I looked to my left I saw a metal rod lodged into…

    It was a typical first day of school. Rushing to get ready, finding the perfect outfit, cliche first-day-of-school pictures. When I got to school, everything was normal. Life was good.

    As I began typing this essay, I brainstormed ideas, supporting details, and even multiple theses. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of outlines nor have I put any time in those bubble map-like things. Some of the smartest people in the world claim their best ideas come while sitting on the porcelain throne. However, the only time I found fit to write life changing essays seemed to be in 3:26 AM on November 28th in my underwear, only my underwear. Amidst all the anxiety, I am able to produce my masterpiece.…

    I really came into my own I feel as a result of my time in this class. At the beginning, I was still a little awkward and unsure of being impolite. I have really grown as an actor because now I do not worry so much about being polite and stopped caring about whether people think I am awkward or not. I feel I finally broke through the glass box that was holding me back, and now I give my all. I really feel I become very connected to my creative side, and know now how to apply that side of me when playing a character. I feel a big difference in my performance like in The Apology Tour, I feel very comfortable playing my…
