“How did tryouts go, Shayna?” Mom asked after school.
“Terrible,” I said. “Kristie got Cinderella’s part!”
“What part did you get?” I whispered, fighting back tears. I ran to my room and started drawing in my sketchbook. Drawing always makes me feel better.
The next day, Kristie was in high spirits yet couldn’t hide her nervousness, constantly begging me to accompany her to the rehearsal(排练). I sighed but finally agreed, knowing she needed the support. Upon arriving at the concert hall, Ms. Carson handed out script(剧本)copies to the actors. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my room drawing. At that moment, Ms. Carson moved a brown cardboard piece onto the center of the stage, which had small windows and doors on it. My eyes stayed glued to that poor sets. When the music started, Kristie and the actor playing the prince began dancing.
After the rehearsal, Ms. Carson praised them. Kristie looked at the cardboard castle, clearly dissatisfied with the simple sets, wondering when they would get the real sets. Ms. Carson explained that these were the actual sets, as there was no art teacher at the school this year.
Then Kristie and I walked outside. I praised her for her wonderful performance, thinking that the audience would surely love the play. “Thanks,” Kristie said. “But did you see the sets?” I hesitated, and then said slowly. “Maybe there’s something I can do — along with many fellow art-loving students.”
That night, I kept drawing, late into the night. My pencil moved on the paper, and I only saw the lines I was making. I thought only about my drawing and nothing else. Every time, I changed something: a bigger castle, a prettier carriage with wheels. The next morning, I stuffed my sketchbook into my backpack and hurried to Ms. Carson.

My heart was pounding as I knocked on Ms. Carson's office door. When she opened the door, I took a deep breath and showed her my sketches. “I could help with the sets,” I said nervously. Ms. Carson’s eyes lit up as she flipped through my sketchbook. Then I told Ms. Carson I could make it real with fellow art-loving students. The next weeks witnessed our consistent efforts after school every day. Eventually, the plain cardboard was transformed into a magical world with a fancy carriage and a grand castle. Looking at our works, we were seized by accomplishment.
Eventually, opening night arrived. As the curtain rose, everyone was struck by the fascinating sets. The moment the play was over, everyone applauded enthusiastically. The performance was definitely wonderful! Suddenly, I was called up to the stage by Ms. Carson. Then she said into the microphone, “I’d like to thank the many students who made the sets, and especially Shayna, the designer. Her talent and effort made the night successful.” Everyone clapped for me! I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Cinderella.

My heart was pounding as I knocked on Ms. Carson's office door. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open, my sketchbook clutched tightly in my hand. Inside, Ms. Carson was reviewing scripts, looking up with a gentle smile when she saw me. "I noticed Kristie wasn't satisfied with the cardboard sets," I began, placing the sketchbook on her desk. "I've been drawing and created some designs for the actual stage props—like a three-dimensional castle with movable windows and a more realistic carriage." I flipped through the pages, showcasing detailed sketches of the set improvements. Ms. Carson examined the drawings carefully, her eyes lighting up with admiration. "This is brilliant! You have a real talent for this. Let's work together to bring these ideas to life."
Eventually, opening night arrived. The auditorium was packed with audience members, and the stage was transformed by our joint efforts— the castle stood tall and vivid, the carriage rolled smoothly on stage. When Kristie, as Cinderella, made her grand entrance in the upgraded carriage, the audience erupted in applause. After the show, Ms. Carson pulled me into a warm hug. "None of this would have been possible without your creativity," she said. Kristie also thanked me sincerely, her eyes shining with gratitude. That night, I realized that true success isn't just about winning a role, but about using my strengths to support others and create something beautiful together.
