Hey Pandas, What Was Your "It's My Time To Shine" Moment? (Closed)

A few:

We got an assignment to design a brace using natural materials. I, a (former) Girl Scout since kindergarten, was the only person who actually got the assignment right the first try.

The teacher asked if anyone knew the words to swear someone in for a mock trial, and since I had memorized them in 7th grade for another mock trial, I swore each witness in on a box of off-brand Sharpies.

I'm still waiting for the day someone shouts "Help! I'm stuck under a giant block of cheddar cheese and need someone to save me!". In high school, it was not uncommon for me to buy a one pound block of cheese and eat it like an apple, while hanging out and skateboarding with friends. That is the moment I've trained for, but my talents have never been needed 😭

We had a sports day in our building, and I had done terribly in the cricket match, so when it came to swimming, there was a fight over which team got me. I got my team to win. hehehehehehehe

Not much but it made my day

Also, in edu tour(trips that our school takes us to for a couple day that are totally not educational) we had a one leg hop race and i basically pulled the team. infront of my crush.

I majored in acting in college, but improv was my real passion. I was doing an original play written by a student and myself and one other actor played a principal and vice principal who spent most of the play interviewing other characters regarding abuse allegations of a student.

Merely 3 minutes before I was to make my first entrance, I was handed a clipboard with the script on it, told the actor playing the principal had a panic attack back stage and had passed out and that I was going to have to carry the show on my own. My first move onstage was to greet another character and shake hands. When I did I whispered "Adam passed out, it's just me, follow my lead."

I improvised most of the show, trying to make it make sense and proved that not only was improv a valuable skill, but one that could be used for dramatic purposes as well as comedic.

Oof uhm

Sophmore year in english class, my teacher let us play a game called 'guess the movie theme song'

My time has come

Well there was one song that had everyone stuck and after a little thinking i wispered/shouted The Lion King

And it was right!!

Idk how he heard me tho lol

In my literature class we had to memorize two lines of the Romeo and Juliet prologue by William Shakespeare. I got my lines down almost immediately along with all the rest of the prologue. The next week we stood up and recited our lines in a row to complete the prologue. There was one student who memorized the wrong set of lines, and without hesitation I just filled in for him. I ended up getting some bonus points from my teacher. This was because the teacher had said if anyone forgot their lines that she would fill in, but I just did it out of instinct.

My moment to shine is literally any moment where I can quote a song that perfectly fits the situation

Any group project/ group contest.

Everyone wants me on their team, especially those who don’t pay attention. Of course, I say something passive aggressive and go with the people who I like and *also pay attention.

The school spelling bee.

I have always been a good speller. My 5th grade year i almost went to state.

My mum was trying to help my grandmother organise her new prescription pills, accidentally knocked all the little white tablets onto the white carpet... suddenly my better than 20/20 vision cqme in handy, found all 50 of them within a few minutes, even the one that had somehow bounced 6ft away.

I can draw nearly perfect circles most of the time. In my biology class we were drawing the cell cycle and my group mates kept messing up on the circles and then erasing them trying to make them better. Eventually I just took the marker and drew the circles they needed.

any presentation, shows/drama that requires to talking or showing something to audiences.

no matter how anxious i am before, if i know the audience or they are all strangers, if i prepared or not, after the show my friends always asking "why you're so good at it?? please teach us."

i can't teach them bc i trained for this ability since i was little and also experienced bullying so the bullies always forced to play all the difficult and ugly roles so they laugh at me and i forced myself not to cry and doing the best i can as a revenge. embarrased, but thanks to them my talent polished.

If anyone ever needs a toy mousie killed, I'm your kitten. Shyla won't help.

Workplace cook off: I made first place with 8 hour Beer Gulasch in the non vegetarian category

School in general, specially maths. I've been in the worst classes, according to grades, and I still got the highest grades of all the class. Whenever someone has trouble understanding something they know that I know and ask me for help, no matter waht the assigment is, I will always know how to do it, even if I only learnt it today.

If anyone ever needs a jigsaw puzzle put together, I'm your person. Bouche will "help."

i have many. 1. when i was ten, i got my sister’s jibbitz back on her croc. 2. when i was four, i, a clever child, figured out how to open a juice box without the juice spilling everywhere. i shone among my lesser peers. 3. when i was also ten, i cleverly blew out a mini marshmallow that i had toasted on a scented candle. the marshmallow was on complete fire. technically, i prevented (and could’ve caused) a house fire. i also had a phase when i was really good at tic-tac-toe. don’t be jealous.

my drama class needed someone to market the play we're doing and i love photography so im now a part of marketing

I have a really good sense of rhythm and musical timing, and I do ballet. I always know everyone's cues, and have occasionally even had to correct the teacher on timing.

I was nine, at the zoo, looking at the cassowaries. Complete interest, face-pressed-on-the-glass interested. I love animals, have been studying them my whole life, absolutely obsessed with Aussie life. I get asked by a man what I know about cassowaries. I start listing all sorts of facts, including what they eat, where they are native to, their predators, etc etc. I get told by a zookeeper that I’m pretty smart, and I just reply by saying “ I want to work here when I grow up” it was a funny moment and love to think about it.

One time, my family and I were in Dallas for a trip and we went to Dealey Plaza to check out where Kennedy was killed. I don't what came over me, but I just started telling the events of the assassination in full detail. I was even walking around like I was a tour guide or something. My sister said that people really got interested in what I was saying and started listening to me. The only reason that I know anything about the Kennedy assassination is because I am a huge history buff.
