How I shone at Polyfest
A moment where I shone was at Polyfest, on Wednesday 5th of August. All the students, teachers & whanau of Corinna School gathered together as a family to perform at Hosanna Church of Cannons Creek.
The group I participated in was one of the biggest cultural groups in Corinna School, the senior Samoan pasifika group.
One of my biggest shining moments during this event was stepping out of my comfort zone, walking up onto the stage, feeling terrified & nervous, my heart beating 100% fast, like I was getting chased by 3 lions, trying to hunt me down.
During our performances, I shone by using my best self managing skills when I didn’t getting distracted from the audience, keeping my head held high & staying focused on our performance.
Another way I shone was when I was being respectful during the performance so I don’t get others distracted & being the best role model I can be.
As I walked off the stage, I felt very jubilant that my nightmare was over. It felt quite good when I was stepping out of my comfort zone because I was experiencing how it feels to be up on stage. I can hardly wait for the next polyfest.
