Penny had always believed she was born to act. Every night, she practiced lines in front of her bedroom mirror, perfecting graceful moves like the actresses in her favorite movies. When her middle school announced The Twelve Dancing Princesses, she spent weeks preparing — even borrowing her sister Diana's ballet shoes, though they pinched (挤痛) her feet. "Pain is part of the art," she told herself, imagining the strict drama teacher Mr. Ellison nodding in approval.

But on casting day, her name was nowhere on the list. Mr. Ellison offered her a job on the stage crew (工作人员) instead. "You'll learn how theater really works," he said. Penny forced a smile, hiding her disappointment.

Backstage life was quieter than she expected. Penny wore all black, disappearing into the shadows during rehearsals (排练). Sometimes, she mouthed the princesses' lines silently, her hands tracing an imaginary crown.

Opening night arrived as scheduled, but the lead actress got injured minutes before the curtain. Mr. Ellison scanned the crew, searching for someone who could step in. Here came an opportunity! Penny's hand shot up. "I know the lines!" she said. He hesitated but handed her the princess's dress.

Unfortunately, the performance was a disaster. She stumbled over dances, mixed up scenes, and tripped up a prince. The audience's laughter echoed in her ears. Afterward, she ran to her room, sobbing. Her sister Diana found her curled under the blankets. "Come," she said, leading Penny to the roof.

The night sky stretched endlessly. "Some stars can't be seen now," Diana murmured, "but their light is already traveling. It just takes time to reach us." Penny wiped her tears. "What if my light never comes?" Diana squeezed her hands. "It will. You just have to keep trying."

Weeks later, Penny saw a poster for a new play: A Midsummer Night's Dream. Auditions (试镜) were open and she was familiar with the character Helena. That night, Penny climbed to the roof alone. A single star flickered weakly. She traced its light with her finger, her sister's words ringing in her ears.

Customs play a role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious.

Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with business taking of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much for the public to spend more on gifts for their ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.

We came to the adventure park, getting4 and instructions. Thankfully, the5 was separated into stations, with the zip lines gradually getting longer and higher.

"I'm6 that we're doing this together," Marty said. "It's going to be an awesome memory." I tried to7 I could do all things, I reminded myself. But I was still completely8.

The first line was 50 feet long and 20 feet in the air. Marty went first. When my9 came, the leader helped me into the equipment.

Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image.

Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you're able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you'll feel with yourself. This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth.

Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you're thankful for. As you're writing a journal, try to notice what you're grateful for and what role you play in those things.

We'll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don't expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine.

Take social media breaks. While it's a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. That's why it's important to take breaks from the digital world.

It's a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self.
