The First Time You Truly Realized You Loved Performing

Quick question: When was the first time you truly realized that you loved performing?

My answer: A community theater production of Aladdin Jr. (Circa 2013) 3rd show of the 12 we did, at the end of the finale was the first time I realized I loved performing. Specifically because at the end, I finished on my knee with my head bowed towards Aladdin and such and I closed my eyes and just listened. It was the tiniest theater, and all I heard was applause and I was like "this. This is what I want." And it was really dramatic but real.

How about you?
