Get out there and Sing

When I was in 9th grade, I had a very inspirational English teacher. As a requirement of our class, we had to break up into groups and choose a story that had gone from book to become a movie or a broadway show. My group chose "The Wizard of Oz". this way years before The Wiz was even a dream. Anyway, I ended up being the Tinman and learned to sing "If I only had a Heart". Our presentation was so good, we ended up performing for the whole student body. I never dreamed I would ever sing on stage!!! This stretched a big boundary!!!
