l Waiting on the Outside Being on the fringe is not uncommon. Often you were on the outside, waiting to get in. You wanted to be there, you wanted to move into the center, the limelight. You wanted to have it all. You felt it when trying out for a team. There's pressure involved, hard work, and uncertainty. You felt it when you went to pick up your class rank. Would you make it into the top i096 of the class, how about the top 2096? You felt it during drama auditions and madrigal tryouts. Would your talents show through, or would your nerves ne- gate all of your efforts? Being outside waiting to get in was not always pleasant, to be sure, but it was normal! It may not have seemed so, but many others felt the some way you did. Basic Survival lOl included this lesson to help you realize that you're not left out but rather are encountering the some emotions as the rest of your peers. This realization is important for OVQFYG thing, from college applications to iob interviews and many other situations in the future where you feel like you're on the outside, waiting to get in. introduction!!
