Deep Inside

For school, I take a Drama class, right? Well our teacher, Craig, made us create our own characters, in a way. First we made out walk. Then our face that went with it. Then our actions, and the way we said "Hello." It was interesting to see peoples characters because I realized something nobody that else did. Our characters weren't just something we made up on the spot. They came from somewhere. They were something we wanted to be; something we felt inside.

My character was shy and kind of awkward. That's the way I feel inside every day. Awkward, sad, upset. I just never want to show it. My character brought it out of me. It was a way for me to let it out, without it really being known that I feel that way. Of course, I didn't think about that at the time that I made up my character. I just thought about it today and realized it.

My other friend, for example, was a snobby girl; very bratty and rude. Lately she's been starting to show that too. Every day, she seems to act more and more like her character and I can't stand it. I think the characters really were just the epitome of how we feel inside, without us knowing.
