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

I'm very interested in theater tech. Fist time I headed I got the chance to make several props for our show (Musical Comedy Murders of 1940). I make cheeses, a pen holder, a book with a knife stabbed through it, and enough fake books to cover two 8 feet by 4 feet book shelves.

That was the moment I really shined, but just recently I took a show to a small festival. I didn't get any awards or recognition, however I'm very proud of myself because I headed both props and set!!!! Our show did win several things other wise.

In sports, everyone wants me on their team, because last year I was titled the best dodgeball player who only got out twice the entire year.
Now that I started Jr High, everything that has throwing, I'm good at. hehe ( even though I have social anxiety so whoever "gets stuck with me", gets lucky and learns their lesson.)

and in my classes no one ever does the work so like in math I'm stuck in a group of 3 with only me doing the work. So if the teacher comes over to ask one of the teams a math question, they ask me for help because I pay attention UvU

So I was in band class and we had a substitute that day. (Now bear in mind I'm a very loyal, defensive person who loves their friends unconditionally.) My friend, let's call them Jerry, went by a chosen name. So when attendance was taken, Jerry said "here" and then told the sub that they wanted to be called Jerry. Now the sub was not having this. She went on a tangent about how she was going to say what was on the paper and that our generation was so stupid.

So, I waited. I waited politely until she had waisted her breath completely.

And then I chewed her out. Big time.

I went on and on about how they shouldn't be punished for liking a different name, because that would be the equivalent of her being punished for liking the color purple. I told her that she needed to respect the students just as she wanted us to respect her. (I may have bashed her outfit a bit, but only because her shorts wre so short and we could see eeeeeeeverything.) So I told her that our principal was very supportive of all of her students, and that I had a special relationship with him. I continued to say that I would report her to him and she would get fired real quick.

She shut up after that.
