The Improv

He sat at the edge of the bed with the pistol cocked in his mouth. He was ready to leave this merciless world, and become a distant memory. He did not know what happens after life, and he didn’t care. He thought of how he had gotten to this point. He was once an innocent, big-eyed child from a small rural village in Colombia who had big dreams. Then, he was the pugnacious teen in New York City who was accidently placed in drama class. Soon, he was the young adult who found refuge in acting

My college experience has given me many opportunities to make some incredible memories and the ones that have had the biggest impact on me are those where I am working with individuals with disabilities or troubled backgrounds. This journey has enriched my life and has provided me with some important life experiences that I plan to use to help become the best teacher that I can possibly be. It is always said that teachers make learning fun but what happens when outside circumstances have a negative

idea of fun continues to change as I try different things and have new life experiences. I usually have the most fun with other people, doing things like playing volleyball, listening to live music, going on bike rides, playing board games, going to improv shows or the movies, bonfires, swimming, and taking day trips out of town. I am able to have fun when I am alone too, doing things such as yoga, baking, and do-it-yourself crafts. Ultimately, though, fun is about your attitude. I could probably have

Draft #2 During this semester we have been reading a book and having discussions about conscious will and how not all of our actions are consciously made. This is not on purpose at most times but rather affected by our past. In our past there have been events or situations that alter the way we feel or think about some things or towards some people. For example, in my human development class we talked about a young woman named Jen. Throughout her life people told her that she's a happy person and

Setting: Valencia Classroom Characters: Virginie, Julianna and Botello are all students in Freshman Comp 1. They are given the task to write a play for their final exam, but procrastination takes over; in an attempt to save their grade Botello takes on the role of Anderson Cooper, Julianna as Donald J. Trump and Virginie as Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential debate. Nater: VIRGINIE: Do you have the play? Julianna looks over to Virginie with confusion and shock. JULIANNA: I thought you had

I have always had a great love for Jazz. Its creative expression, as well as the continuous transformation of its harmonic structures and forms, excites me. When I heard about the Maynard Ferguson concert, I was thrilled and knew that it was a must-attend. I first saw Maynard Ferguson at the Cross & Sword Amphitheater in St. Augustine, Fla. The concert took place in spring 1998. I was anxious to see Maynard Ferguson, the king of Jazz. Maynard was well renowned for his extremely high register control

themselves without fear of being teased. The librarians decided to call the program YAK in thanks of the funding that they had received. Once a month the teens get to plan out what they want to do that month. Some of the things that get chosen are improv, creative writing, trivia, game day, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, murder mysteries and the occasional game of Quidditch at the park. The librarians give teens ideas of things that they can do at YAK and outside of YAK. The librarians have helped

completely different one. Cool Jazz had a wider variety of size and instruments. Most of the time the instruments in Cool Jazz were trumpet, saxophone, trombone, French Horn, tuba, piano, bass, and drums. In regular Jazz people often performed improv solos. But, in Cool Jazz music for shows was mostly written ahead of

I want to go to U.C.M. because I want to be the best that I can be, and because I want to live a life that I dream of living. I have been trying to figure out what career I've wanted since freshman year. I loved video games, so I decided I wanted to be a game designer. I took classes in art, app development, and had planned to take an advanced programming class this year. I also wanted to start my own game development company, so I took business classes as well. I had even developed a business plan

A smoothie is the general umbrella term given to any of a variety of different blended beverages usually containing fruit and other ingredients. There are as many smoothies as there are smoothie makers, for the sky is the limit as far as improv, variation and innovation go within the smoothie universe. Smoothies range from very traditional (your average strawberry banana smoothie) to highly unorthodox and experimental. And it is not uncommon for even the most seasoned smoothie maker to veer into
