Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows: Musical theatre changed my life. When I was a child, I was always a problem for my parents. I never
wanted to go to school, study my homework, or do my chores. No one knew how to control me. My mom
once said that she was at her wits' end by the time I turned 13 years old. The truth was that I had become
insecure, and I hid from my fears by pretending to be too "bored" to do any real work. That was when my
parents signed me up for stage classes. Acting and singing not only showed me my true potential, they
taught me an essential fact: life is a team effort, and we all have different skills that we use together to
make progress. Through lessons, sweat, and tears, my experience of working in musical theatre has helped
me become the well-rounded adult I am today. I am forever thankful to my parents for not giving up on me
and for sending me to classes!
