The First Tears I Shed

Before I went to the stage to perform in front of the audience, I felt that Noor was just a name of a girl, and nothing more! Between classes and getting ready for our opening night, I haven't exactly had the time to think about it deeply. However, I realized what an amazing name Noor was right on the stage, as I was acting. Every single word of the play meant Noor in my mind. Noor means light. Yes, it is a light that lightens every single dark corner of my home. As I listened to my fellow castmates on stage, every single word of the play showed me photos of the past. Usually, they were not pretty photos, and some brought tears to my eyes. It was even hard at times to say my lines.
