HOLY 2 MONTHS FLEW BY!!!
Well I guess I'd say that I can't believe it's been 2 months since I wrote in this thing...but that would be a lie. lol!!
I've been SOO busy with school, it's unreal, however, the most rewarding experience thus far. I've learned so much in just 3 months and have become such a better performer, that I can't even imagine what I will be when this is all over. It's a dream come true to live in NY..and as much as it is great to be home rite now for christmas break and feels weird to have to go back, there's a part in my heart that is aching to go back "home". I think thats when you KNOW where you are supposed to be. As for the work load.. lol. umm...haha! For those of you who knew me in high school, I reall only worked hard at things I cared about...this didn't usually include grades. I kept my grades where they should have been, but when a play came along, you could tell that I always took my performance first because my grades would slip. Of course I'd get them back to normal but..I can finally say that I'm proud of all the hard work I have to put up with every day because it's something I believe in. I wouldn't be who I am or the performer I am if I didn't LOVE what I was doing first.
My greatest advice to those after me: LIFE GETS BETTER AFTER HIGHSCHOOL!! Honestly, my junior year was pretty cool, and my senior year couldn't have been better..but I disagree when they say high school days are the best of your life. The people who say that only say it because they are STUCK on highschool. They either havn't LIVED yet, havn't left home, or don't enjoy TRUELY what they are planning to do for the rest of their life. Simply put. It's one or all of those. So chin up, it gets better after high school. There will be some things and people you will miss...AKA Fraser Singer victories and school plays for me, but life DOES get better!
Didn't have the greatest Christmas ever. I was slightly dissapointed in some of my family. Why is it that no one else in this family thinks FAMILY is the most important thing?? Thank god for mom, dad, anthony, and all my friends I've had a chance to see since I've been home. :)
After visiting the highschool last week I finally realized how far I've come. I was always srious about my passion before and stuck in my ways..but now I can really see the whole picture. I've had a rough 3 months. For me, it never seems to come easy...some may disagree. My first lead, i had to memorize a HUGE play with like 6 people in it. My first show outside of Fraser I snagged a lead. That all may have seemed to come easy...but they all came with SOO many challenges. I left my comfertable home in the small town of Fraser and moved to the big city. Found out what it was like without mom and dad. Learned to used flip flops in the shower. Had to make due with what I had. Made the best of it. Started having a great time...and then a dagger in my heart... I lost my grandmother. The woman who raised me most of my young life. Mom worked all day..gone from 6-6. She was my 2nd mother. When I left home, I wished and prayed 2 things wouldn't happen: That my dog or my grandmother wouldn't pass away. All of my family was there..and I was in NY. I went home for her funeral and couldn't help but think that grandma just wanted me to come home. :-/ but grandma also believed in me so I knew I couldn't just give up and move back home.
So with this huge update(didn't mean to get sappy, it's just finally coming out), and numerous other life changing challenges I have faced in the last 3 months, I guess I'm just hoping to close this chapter and year of my life, and start next year with a bigger ZING than last. And hope to make grandma proud. :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
