About Me

Interests and hobbies seem to change from season to season, mine however, have stayed the same. I have one interest, musical theater,  although it is a three spoke wheel. Singing to me is like breathing.  I sing in the shower, in the car, at the mall, walking to my classes,  really all the time and everywhere.  Dancing is a bit more of a challenge  but I love to move my body to the rhythm of the music. My feet are often sore from from my assortment of dance shoes.  The last spoke of the wheel being acting is a great expression of my personality.  Most often I am cast as the comedic actor and my purpose in the show is to be funny, make my audience relax and forget their worries and cares.   I have been participating in musicals for 5 years and just recently performed my 22 show. I aspire to see the big green street sign say Broadway St and Times Square  and  I will have  reached my ultimate goal.

   
Reading is not really something that I enjoy doing and because of this I choose to not read many books.  My favorite book is  The Outsiders. I read it in eight grade. The plot kept me interested and and I viewed the action as if a movie playing in my head.

 The development of the characters intrigued me.  I liked the sense of loyalty and family that was evident in the book. 

Writing comes very difficult for me something like pulling teeth.  It is hard to get started and my thoughts just kind of spill out in a random fashion.  My vocabulary is not very developed and I have to consult the thesaurus often.  I am hoping that this year my writing will come easier and be full of specific and detailed language.  I often ask for help in my writing and I would like to stop that and feel confident about what I have written.

A quote that I like and can relate to is, " When you're going through tough times, don't worry.  Things will get better and you will get stronger".  I feel like I go through tough times at school as I have learning disabilities and academics have always been a struggle for me.  Everything

takes me longer to do, longer to write, longer to read and understand and longer to accomplish.  I have developed perseverance and a stubborn determination to succeed.  I also have become a compassionate person to those that society sees as different and that makes one mature.
