Update

This post isn't one of my normal observations. For this one, I wanted to talk about an experience that happened this week that had a profound effect on my life. On Wednesday, I was a contestant for a male beauty pageant, ZTA's Big Man on Campus. I decided to do some standup for my talents, and I was super nervous before the show. Normally, I can handle being in front of a crowd and being the center of attention. However, this was different. I was afraid that I would forget my set list and that I would get heckled.

I practiced and practiced because of these fears, and I got up on the stage and performed it perfectly. Everybody loved it. The moral of this story is that I feel like another chapter has started writing itself in my life. Before the pageant, my friends and acquaintances would tell me I should do standup comedy, but I always doubted myself. Now that I've done it, and was met with success, I think I'll try to write my own stuff and perform it on the side. Maybe I'll be successful; maybe I won't. But, there's no telling where it may lead me.
