Be Ready

It’s very sad and hard for me to say that it is going to be my last acting class at Cheshire Academy(and the best!), and I am more than thankful for how much I have learned from this class and all the other theater experience on this campus. Through past two years I have improved so much not only on my theater skills but also as a person. Here I am now as a senior at the beginning of my second semester, and as I promised to Ms.Guarino two years ago when I was a sophomore; I will put my maximum effort in this class, set a good example for younger students and most importantly keep challenging myself to achieve the better.

There is one thing which has been bothering me for a long time, but I attended to ignore it. This time instead of ignoring I decided that I want to fix it which is my accent. Yeah, that’s right! My accent is getting better, but the more performances and speeches I give the more serious I feel about my accent because it is not only affecting my performance but also killing my confidence. For example, I couldn’t get many words in The Children Of Rock song, so I couldn’t sing with my full confidence. I also want to work on different types of characters more because I realized that I have played to many big, in charge and funny characters. I am so glad that in this year’s winter musical I can play a shy, quiet and weak type character. The last and the most important thing I want to work on is prepare myself more to be ready for college.

After all, I still need to keep working and learning hard, so I can keep improving myself. I used to think that at this point I can take a break and waiting for college. However, now I know that if I stop now I would lose so many great things I have learned, and I wouldn’t be able to pick it back up again. College is not a stop sign, it is now a speed up sign, and I need to put all my horsepower in to get through. I am ready for my last and best acting class, and hope after this class I will be truly ready for my journey in the future!
