Frozen in fear

Author's Note: This is a story about a girl named Heather who well.... I'll let you read. But I wrote this to improve my sentence fluency for one of my goals.

Heather was a little girl with a serious problem. She was an extremely hard worker and she could do anything she set her mind to… Except getting on a stage and performing in front of a crowd. She knows that if she went up on stage that she would have a problem. Like when she was in 3^rd and she tried to sing in front of her parents with her best friend Sophie. She had a panic attack and threw up. She was not the kind of person who would traditionally do that. Before that day, she was able to get up in front of anyone and sing and dance and do whatever she wanted. If she wanted to sing, she could. If she wanted to dance, she could, and still can. If she wanted to perform, well that’s a different story.  Anyways, heather is a creative and driven person who WAS able to do anything she set her mind to.

When it came to dancing, that was a snitch for Heather. She has always been a talented little girl. Dancing is the one thing that Heather felt she could be herself in. If it was anything like singing, it would be like a smoker trying to quit… Practically impossible, or takes forever to finally achieve it. Either way, Heather was just really into dancing and creating songs and doing art. But just not singing the songs she creates. Heather really felt like dancing and cheerleading were the only things that she could do without trying to be someone she’s not.  Life isn’t about being someone you’re not, it’s about believing in yourself and truly being yourself.

As for singing, Heather is extremely afraid. If any of her friends have heard her sing, it’s a miracle. She only sings when she is peer pressured, in a good way, to sing. When she does, some of her friends say she’s amazing and also have convinced her to try out for Beauty and the Beast. Heather didn’t want to at first but she was out numbered. Like 10 to 1. She didn’t feel like she would fit the part with her red hair, but then she talked to her mom and they all said that

If it weren’t for the wonderful job Coach Geffort, Mrs. Regales and Mrs. Whealen have been doing, Heather would be that shy girl in the corner who is afraid to talk to anyone but her closest friends. Right now thanks to her wonderful coaches and teachers, Heather is blossoming into a gorgeous and outgoing adult.  Strangers think she’s quiet. Her friends think she’s outgoing. Her best friends think she’s totally insane!

To conclude, Heather can’t do anything that involves her getting up on a stage and performing other than cheerleading and dance. Even though she is willing to face her fears. But she is also nervous that she will get sick because of the last time she perfumed in front of just her parents. She doesn’t know what she’ll do in front of the entire town of Pewaukee! Well that’s Heather’s stage fright.
