Preparing For Upcoming Performances

My First Theater Performance

My Upcoming Performance

Ever since I came to Hanover, I had opened up and signed up to participate in the theater productions by taking the role of ASM, or Assistant Stage Manager. I was the ASM for Endgame, our first performance of the school year, back in late September and early October. For the upcoming production, As You Like It by William Shakespeare, I started out as ASM, but recently I volunteered to take two small roles for the production.

Now I am going to live out one of my dreams, to try acting on a stage in front of a live audience. I am so excited to be able to perform with the actors and actresses on the show. I am getting comfortable with the theatre people and I enjoy it a lot. I came to Hanover, hoping my shyness will go away. I hope acting will help with that shyness. So far, I have come out of my shell and allow myself to be comfortable around the people I've been seeing every night at rehearsals.

Not to mention, this will be my very first performance in front of an audience. I am not nervous, but rather excited. I have the opportunity to improve my acting skills while getting the experience of being in a play. It took some doing memorizing lines and getting the scenes down, but I am ready to go on stage and perform for the first time.

I am proud of myself for taking up the roles and memorizing my lines. I am proud for stepping up to the plate to help with plays. I am proud for coming out of my shell to be myself. I love the theatre work and I look forward to doing more with the Theatre Club, the directors, actors, and stage and booth crew. I look forward to help out with more plays and hopefully play several roles for the upcoming performances.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
