Tell us about a time when you have surprised others or yourself by doing something unexpected.

(after edits:)
Should I accept it? Impersonating the opposite gender in front of the public is a new challenge for me. I have already taking on multiple roles, and it would be difficult to multi-task. Knowing that my parents are very traditional, I was worried about what they would think after watching my performance? After much self reflection, I convinced myself that every challenge is a learning experience, and I should cherish every opportunity to enrich my high school life. I put aside all the stress and acted out this role to my best ability. The amount of laughter and applause that my impersonation brought to the audience was not expected. My parents and friend were amused by my radical transformation on the stage and many of them praised me for my professionalism. Overcoming the fear of breaking through my comfort zone allowed me to develop my true potential to the fullest.

please give me your precious comments! Thank you!
