You were a bit hesitant. Uncertainty is your downfall... You should take more chances.
Eh. Passable.
Smooth soaring! Such bravery! Wow! You really shine!
I have to say I like my job running the spotlight at the circus. It's quite a show and I'm glad to contribute, but... someday I want to be on the other end of the spotlight!
