My Freshman Year Of High School, I Wanted To Be An Occupational

Theater arts was not a personal preference, in fact, it was a decision made at the minute. From the very first day of class, I was challenged to come out of my comfort zone. In

Being a socialize person, I have always believed that public speaking is not a problem for me at all. However, I realize I was completely wrong as I had to deliver a lot of speeches in front of class, which was a quite a struggle for me. Even though my English accent has gotten a lot better throughout the year, yet it would always get terrible during my speech as I was mispronouncing words constantly. Fortunately, I have came to realize that my accent would not be so bad if I memorize the speech instead of reading it out loud like how I usually would.

Public speaking used to be a daunting task that I would try to avoid as often as possible, often I would be the last to present a project and would refrain myself from having to read outloud. When I would speak my head would fill with thoughts of how other were perceiving me and how easy it would be to mess up. With this nervous mentality my speaking was stuttered and confusing.

One of my more vivid experiences of public speaking was when I was taking a class at a community college. While taking this class I would often have to give speeches and demonstrations in front of the class. As I was waiting for my turn to give my very first speech, I was very certain that I would have no problems at all, it would a piece of cake, or so I thought. All of a sudden, I hear my name being called as it was my turn to deliver a knockout performance, but as I stood in front of that small class of people I just blanked out. An overwhelming amount of anxiety came over of me. I could feel my heart beginning to race and my hands starting to sweat. I could not for the life of me remember what I was going supposed say. In addition, the

I got involved in what I could and then high school came along. In high school, I took my very first theater class and put my all into anything the class was assigned. I am doing theater all four years of high school and plan to go deeper into it when I graduate. Theater has impacted me in so many different ways, positive and negative. Acting is extremely stressful, but it does not upset me. Being stressed out by something I love doing is different from being stressed by something merely important to my

Through the years I’ve done theatre as an extracurricular activity. I started when I was in 1st grade and I show no signs of stopping. Theatre has helped me grow in so many ways; I owe my

I was desperately lost while studying theater during my first semester at Brigham Young University-Idaho. It was what I enjoyed during high school, but I want a career where I am able to spend time with my family and one where I’d be in a position to improve the lives of others. After taking my first acting class I knew it wasn’t what I wanted to do. Since then, I have considered everything from psychology to accounting. Research and volunteer opportunities, advice from trusted mentors, and my education played roles in my decision process. I learned to manage my time wisely in order to spend time with my family. Most importantly, I was able to decide on a career in optometry, and have since planned out what I want to do after optometry school.

Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would be able to identify myself as an actress. Growing up, I never really liked sports. I tried dance, gymnastics, painting, and singing; nothing was ever something I could say, “Hey, this is me, this is what I love to do.” Now a freshman in college I’m majoring in Nursing but theatre is still something that I would give a leg and arm to do. At Butler, However, I love theatre here but it is very different then it was in high school. High school theatre is a better working experience than college theatre is because the experience is more fun, its a closer environment, greater responsibly.

I have battled with speaking publicly for some time, settling in America made it worse. I felt that I would be judged majorly because of my different accent, so I refrained from socializing. Now, I learn to accept myself for who

Technical theater has taught me how to be independent, and how to stay calm in stressful situations. During such situations I would have to make decisions on the spot, and to come up with the best course of action. These situations I would have to deal with on a daily basis when it comes to running a show or even in life. Tech helped me to connect and embrace Westhill High School. I am also looking forward to college because I learned "connecting to school" doesn't mean I have blend in, it now means I can better the school in my own and unique

Within the past year, I decided that I should study what I love, not what is the most logical thing for me to study. Previous to this decision, I had been set on pursuing a degree in something in business, thinking that there would almost always be a job available in this career field. I have chosen to pursue a degree in theatre because I have spent a large portion of my high school career in the theater, I have had relative success in being involved in it, and I simply enjoy being a part of it, especially my experience as an assistant stage manager and stage manager. This experience has improved my communication skills, positive attitude, perseverance, and patience when working with directors, technical staff, actors, and stage crew members.

As a citizen, a steward, a leader, and a scholar, I should uphold others’ experiences in this class in addition to my own. To do this, I will need to actively engage in classroom activities every day and be present. By doing these things, I will ensure that I be an active participant in the Theatre I learning experience. In addition, I can also contribute expertise, caring, and commitment to the class so that it can function correctly as a team. This attitude toward my class will contribute to better social relations within it and a better learning experience among my peers. An example high expectations might happen during a play, where everyone is forced to contribute and persevere until a job is well done. If one

For as long as I can remember, public speaking has always been one of my greatest weaknesses. Whether it’s a simple in-class presentation or a speech in front of an auditorium filled with people, I can barely get my words out from the anxiety and

My freshman year I absolutely fell in love with theatre. Working in the entertainment industry or on Broadway living in a small apartment located in New York City with a cat was my life goal. I was set on doing that for about 2 years. When I finally sat down and looked at everything realistically, my dream was,
