“Don’t be nervous.” This was the last thing my mom said to me before I entered my first audition for a ballet summer intensive. I was eleven. I did ok and I ended up getting in but like always there were things to improve on.

On October 24, 2015 I traveled to Ronald Reagan High School to see the Reagan Fall One Acts with my dad. The Reagan Fall One Acts were composed of two marvelously written and directed major plays called, Not an Instant directed by, Kris Puddicombe; written by Anne Liners, War of the Nerds directed by, Nic Onorato; written by Gonzalo Nieto, and three short performances called, Hiraeth, It’s Not a Joke, and In and Out all performed by very talented IB theatre students. There were various aspects of the plays that I found particularly interesting such as, the acting, the lighting, and the costumes. The actors immensely entertained me, there were a few improvements they could have made, but overall, they did a marvelous job and I would definitely
There are a couple of choice words I would use to describe the production I had had the “pleasure” to witness: confused, uncomfortable, yet humorous and enjoyable. On the night of the twenty-fourth of February on the campus of Lone Star Montgomery college, my mother and I viewed The Irene Ryan Scenes and Student Directed Plays with the full intent to observe and enjoy since I paid 12 bucks to get in. However, I was not prepared for what was presented in the show. First impressions are always the most important part of introductions.
After a painstakingly long walk from 643 Woodrow Street to South Court Street, Wendell and Eric spotted the largest school they have ever laid eyes on. “That must be Bellingrath Junior High,” Eric said. Wendell gazed at the large school, which the nation titled “The Number 1 Biggest and Newest School in the Nation,” with a gleam of amazement in his eyes. To him, the school’s name itself preceded itself. Compared to a high school such as Sydney Lanier – which is where Carl was currently at – Bellingrath Junior High was bigger.
The global interconnectedness of world has allowed people to indulge in foods they would have never been able to previously obtain in their own country. What used to be considered an exotic food that was consumed when visiting a different country has become everyday food for many. International foods are purchased everyday, however, not many know how these ‘fad foods’ end up on their plate. A food’s journey from production to consumption and its impacts made along the way is a current topic of discussion among many geographers. This paper will discuss the origin of Eden’s Red Quinoa, how it makes its way to Torontonian’s plates while exploring its influences throughout the process.
Finding the Fun (A Satiric Essay of High School Parking Lots) High school is an interesting thing for most people. Some are dying to get out while others don’t want it to end. High school students use satire each day even if they are unaware of it. To say one thing but mean something opposite is the definition of satire.
This allowed me to act with people of different ages and experiences; understand the importance of rehearsal and get used to using unfamiliar theatre spaces when
I participated in Summer Show Offs for two years, before my sophomore and junior year of high school in Auburn. The counselors and camp itself really helped me emerge out of my shell by preforming songs out of my comfort zone. The constant encouragement and upbeat attitudes from my counselors for sure made an impact on the experience of SSO. Through the summers I attended, I learned how to express who I truly am through song and dance, the camp introduced something to me that I would end up loving. I particularly love the song choices and the meaning behind some of them.
Loser, Hand Me Down, Cheap Shot, Rat, That Guy, Nerd. Kids throw names at me faster than lightning strikes trees. A good student can be another ’s nightmare.
Having a senior show is a very hard experience, but it is incredibly rewarding. I feel like my show was a huge success and I only had a few minor hiccups along the way. One of the hiccups would be that I bought some frames to early. I had an idea of how I would hang and display my work early on so I went ahead and bought some frames early.
Before reading this chapter, I never genuinely realized how many racially offensive comments I made or how many other racial slurs there were. Growing up in my household, not too many adults filtered their conversations, so some phrases I began to repeat were due to hearing them repeatedly. I was so familiar with hearing words like “gyp”, “whitewash”, and “light bright” that eventually started saying them not realizing how other people may feel. Even during high school, I was not as culturally competent as I should have been. Going to a predominantly white high school, I had a few encounters with prejudice people.
Niall 's POV I wanted to go to the dance but I would be miserable there. After I told everyone that I had a deep secrect hatred for them and that my sister was Hope... well I guess it 's not a secret anymore
The members played a big part in this personal growth of mine, as well. I was shocked when random community members would come up to me to congratulate me on a win or ask how the teams are looking. It was important for me to be assured that they care about the things I was doing. These small conversations felt like an invitation for me to start and hold meaningful conversations with adults. Some of the greatest lessons that I have taken from high school are lessons that have nothing to do with the curriculum.
