I Love The Spotlight

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

I have been performing since I was five years old in the Christmas pageant as the second king from the Orient. My mom made a cassette tape of that performance and kept it safe for years. I got a converter that turns cassette records into MP3s and have a digital copy of it (Below). I went on to get a little classical training for my singing and sang at talent shows and churches. In high school I performed in choirs and plays and musicals (below). I also sang in music competitions and won several gold and silver medals for my singing at the state level. I became a bit of a recluse in my twenties but got into giving speeches with a group called Toastmasters. I earned awards for being a competent speaker and competent leader. I have an old YouTube channel of me “performing” at my computer (also below) I got to go back to my old high school stage to give a presentation on autism a few years ago and still sing in church. But my schedule is erratic at this point in my life so I can’t commit to practices and performances at this point in my life. But the stage is still awesome.

That’s me in the suit and tie.
