I’m sure that you get a lot of the same stuff in these applications, most of which are just like the one that I am writing now. The reason that you are getting so many of these applications is probably one of two reasons: Applicant wishes to grow as a performer and get out of their comfort zone a little, or applicant loves the arts and to be a part of something special.

I am applying for this scholarship because I too wish to grow as a performer and my love for the arts is what keeps me going. I love theater and the arts, without it I don’t know where I would be right now. I go to Joliet West …show more content…

I think that this camp would help me learn new skills to accomplish this goal. Along with the speech team, I participate in Joliet Wests group interpretation. If you are unaware of what this is, it is a group performance of a written script using no costumes, props, or set. By taking away these aspects, the performers must create and tell the story using tableaus and through individual and choral lines. It is truly a beautiful thing to both be a part of and to watch. Both of these activities take up a lot of time, by a lot of time I mean getting to school around 8am every morning and not getting home until 9 or 10pm sometimes. In addition to Monday through Friday, on most Saturdays I wake up around 4am to get ready to compete all day and return home around 8pm. Although it’s exhausting, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. These programs have helped me to express myself in ways that I never thought possible and they have made me feel welcome beyond my wildest dreams. However, during the summer, these opportunities are not available to me and I feel off when I return to them in the

“Don’t be afraid to explore, ask questions and take chances,” my dad would tell me. You see, my dad, an engineer, tried to get me to question everything. He is never afraid to learn a little bit more about something he already knows and is always eager to learn something new; I take after him. I love to learn, and figure out how things work. It's not surprising, then, that I plan on majoring in engineering; what is, perhaps, surprising, is that these same habits of mind led to me developing an interest in and passion for theatre.

Arts Board Application I believe that the arts are an essential part of any student’s curriculum. Not only does it enrich their lives, it teaches them skills such as the importance of practice and repetition in order to perfect their work; it teaches that perseverance and hard work shows in their creations; and that although mistakes are made, one can still make their mistakes into something great, as long as they don’t give up. This is why it’s important to have the arts represented in a school like Greenhill, where academics tend to be the main focus for many students. Other from ISAS and occasional concerts, students don’t often get to showcase their work to their peers. Too often during ISAS do students attend mostly Greenhill productions, and students who aren’t able to attend rarely see the hard work those in the Greenhill fine arts program put into their creations and performances.

At the start of 10th grade I was faced with the challenge of figuring out what activities to start or continue with this year. I had been doing both fencing and robotics the previous year which worked great but then I came into a new school and was forced to decide between continuing with my favorite sport or my favorite activity. I could not change my fencing schedule since open bouting was only available at specific times and these are the exact times the build team met for robotics. I tried to work out a way to do both by talking with the team leader about taking on a new role such a programing or business but was informed that unlike my previous team I would have to be fully committed to the activity.

Germayne Eaton Admission Essay - Topic A I am a very intelligent person, yet my recent grades did not reflect this. I have a fear of stepping out of my comfort zone which often causes me to settle for mediocrity. This fear is what caused me to pick a school that I knew would keep me in my comfort zone and led to me not challenging myself which began to negatively affect my work ethic during the past semester and was ultimately reflected in my grades.

It is important to study something in school that you enjoy but that is also useful in the real world. I have always been asked, “what's your major?”. I would answer art history and always got a response like, “what are you going to do with that?”. Most parents and students don’t feel that there is a good foundation from learning Art History. It is often heard from high school and college students (influenced by their parents) that to succeed you must major in science, technology, engineering, or business.
