Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

During the performances of the actors I felt suffering. I am not sure why I felt it, but I do have to say that the majority of the plays were really sad and had a lot of pain that was being expressed that was not shown before. The plays were very touching and amazing at the same time. The reason why I felt this way was because most of the plays were about death. Another reason was because it was about them not fitting in or not self confident. The last reason was because some were about getting kidnapped or just given up. I had lost my father when I was eight years old. My brother was shot and killed in a drive bye in front of me when I was only four years old. I was traumatized and filled with anger and sadness. My grandmother passed away a week before my sixteenth birthday. I was given up at birth and was put in the system when I was only three weeks old. I was raped in the system, I was also abused. When I was seven I had low self esteem but now I am confident about the way I look. I just told myself to be strong and don't let people get in the way of my goals.
