I applied to be part of the high school drama club. They rejected me because they said my acting was too stiff. It was a big blow to me. However, I didn't give up. I practiced by myself at home, watched a lot of movies to learn from professional actors, and finally got into the club the next year.
When I tried to join the high school's science club, I was rejected. They said they had too many members already. I was so disappointed because I really loved science.
