All About Me Final Draft

All eyes are on me when I'm on the stage, patiently waiting for the music to play. 

 I swing my hips to the beat of the drum. 

I fell in love with Tahitian dancing by the beautiful sound of the drums.

 I started dancing when I went to Tahiti for the first time.

Seeing the way my great-aunt smiled as she danced by herself in the kitchen.

Watching the dancers move gracefully to the sound of waves.

 I wanted to feel that same happiness everyone on the island had. 

 Going back home from the island I wanted to keep part of my culture with me. 

 I promised myself I would go out of my comfort zone and try it out.

Making my family proud and showing my friends my passion for dance, is what drives me to dance.

 Tahitian dance is expressive and unique, that is what I love most about it.

It's the one part of my day I look forward to the most. 

 No matter how mad or sad I am, I always want to dance. 

Looking at the crowd, I see my parent's eyes glistening as they watch me perform. 

 Ending in the finale, I take a deep breath and feel my legs moving fast. 

 I strike my last pose and feel the energy of the room clapping for me. 

 As the lights turn off and the curtain closes, I hear nothing but cheering for me.

“Don’t wait until…you come face to face with evil to learn this lesson,” Bridges said, “We all have a common enemy and it is evil. I refuse to believe there is more evil out there than good. There’s more good. We just have to stand up.” I love this quote, her hope is still there and has the drive to keep standing up for what is right. My overall opinion of the story is very powerful just looking at her your words, I can feel the tone in the words even if I wasn't physically there.

It lags on being straightforward and it could be cut shorter but overall better than the other ones. I also liked the third one but they should wait to put the the details of how much it will benefit their paychecks futher in the story. 3.
