I tried out for the school play at Mountview, but the director said I was not (a)   enough to fit the role of the homework-crazed student.

Since I did not get the lead in the play, I decided to try Science Club instead. Mrs. N taught us how to use a (a)   to measure the changes in air pressure.

Suddenly, an explosion of stinky gas rocked Chemistry classroom next door and caused us all to (a)   and lose our balance.

Thankfully, the students were all using (a)   chemicals and not anything that was actually dangerous -- just super smelly, like rotten eggs in a heatwave.

The students who chose to ignore Mrs. N's careful SAFETY INSTRUCTION manual faced the (a)   of their choice -- and had to clean up all of the putrid (*stinky) mess.

I walked out of the Science classroom and headed into the Art classroom. I was instantly (a)   by the fantastic, colorful, life-size murals around all of the walls.

Mr. P walked over to me and I realized that it was my (a)   to join the Art Club! All of the students were kind and super creative, just like me!

Mr. P and the class exclaimed over my brilliant painting and I felt my (a)   elevate; I felt like Rembrandt, a Rockstar with red paint!

I am so glad that I (a)   beyond my comfort zone and I didn't let a little "failure" get me down. Now I am in the best club, ready to mix paints and glitter with the Science Club kids, and use all of our talents to paint sets for the play!
