oh shit, a serious post
I have taken the time to sit back and realize what is truly important in my life as of now. As some speculations may have concurred, I am no longer a drama geek... although there will always be a special place in my heart for that certain time in my life.
I have realized that my decision to be a theatre education major in college (and without calculable thought, the rest of my life), has now changed. Starting next semester, I will now drive my attentions toward a greater cause rather than high school theatre. Starting next semester, I will have started on my family and child developmental sciences major.
Looking back i have contemplated that the ONLY reason for my decision of becoming a drama teacher, specifically for secondary education, is because I blatantly has a shitty time as a high school student who intolerably was involved in theatre. I have now realized that my personal vendetta against the notorious Mr. "S" metastasized itself into a group effort. Thus I strongly needed to make an adult decision... Was I going to let myself drown in the past? Was I going to let my other sufficient and greatly needed skills with sick and dying children go to waist?
No.
You all hear Megan Feller and other "campers" consistently talk about camp. We know you listen. But to be completely honest, none of you know the actual beauty and bond of what camp really is and how much it really means to the people who cherish it most. I know everybody has their "special" thing. Whether it is spending time with a certain member of your family, or going on a vacation to that one place that brings you joy and peace...
But for me, helping children and their families who need something special to help them in their lives, that is where I am needed the most. That is where I think my calling is.
Thank you for reading this.
