A Woman's Rehearsal-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
Good evening and I hope everything is well. I felt that today's rehearsal was quite good and I definitely look forward to seeing the finished product. Unlike my day (Of joy and happiness being a part of CPYO), something very upsetting came to my attention. Today Emily was extremely negative. To the point of me being concerned with her health and well-being. During the break I inquired as to the grim mood. She informed me that she tried to quit CPYO but they would not be able to refund her so she was "stuck". Please keep in mind that this girl lives with a single parent on low income so every penny counts. After further investigation, she divulged her motive for leaving. Classical music is something she enjoys doing, but it is not her real

    On 01/21/16 I contacted Ashley Herring at her residence at 3320 W. Justice Road in reference to a domestic battery call.

    Two AWESOME workouts with Sharon Stewart today! The last ten months have truly changed my life. She has pushed me further than I ever thought possible. I've gone from thinking "too" skinny looked good, to wanting to be fit and healthy. I've gone from thinking I can get away with using light weights to hearing her "yell" at me in my mind, or not getting low enough for a squat.…

    Sally Burt is the kindest woman you could ever meet. Many take her kindness for weakness, because she tends to be very passive, but don’t let her fool you, because she does have a feisty side. She is fifty-six years of age, but has the vitality of a twenty-six year old. She has dark brown eyes that sparkle every time she speaks; her light brown skin glows ever so radiantly as the sun hits her; she has thick, brown, short hair that caresses her shoulders. Her loving smile can brighten up anyone’s day; she stands tall at 5’6, and walks proudly, while loving her voluptuous curves.…

    I have interviewed Claudia Kim from Texas Children’s Hospital who is a registered nurse in NICU. She attended Baylor initially as a dance major.

    The event that I decided to go was BYU Baroque Ensemble, a production made by BYU students, taking place at Madsen Recital Hall Harris Fine Arts Center on November 3. The idea of making a baroque orchestra is where musician get together to make a perfect composition of music, the baroque orchestra is made up mostly of stringed instruments, when you listen you feel something different that makes you see it from another perspective, you just can’t stop listening and focus on every note that the musicians are playing. The type of instruments that were utilized in conjunction were the basso continuo, played by a viol, cello or bassoon. Other parts were added between the melody and the bass by a keyboard instrument, usually a harpsichord or organ and the development of tonal harmony, in which the melodic voices movement remains under the functional chord progression.…

    In the discombobulation of day to day life, all types of people are going to try to knock you down. This hardship was experienced personally by Brenda Roza as she realized that “there may not be that person next to you that's going to speak up for you”. There is no reason for strangers being malicious, to try to knock other people down when they’re not even known to you. Regardless, it is imperative that you are able to defend yourself- just as Brenda Roza did. Having been told throughout her entire life that she couldn’t do certain things, Brenda thought that that being a successful person might be beyond reach to her - impossible.…

    We are only friends. I press to that fact, but still my heart beats a hundred times faster as we dance together. We had spent quite some time choreographing this dance together and here we are: the steps running into a well-rehearsed picture, the artists are us. And though there is no audience, we dance as if there are a thousand watching our every movement.…

    During the eighteen years I have lived my experiences have been fairly sheltered. I have never traveled out of the country, eaten exotic foods, or gone skydiving; consequently, I haven’t met many people of special interest. Not to say the people I have met are not interesting, on the contrary, most of the people I have come to know all have their own unique stories and experiences; however, I never did meet anyone quite like Miss May. To this day I can’t pinpoint what exactly it was about her that intrigued me so much, maybe it was her rich brown hair and almond-shaped eyes, or how she pronounced candy more like “kehn-dee”, or it definitely could have been the way her eyes lit up when she smiled—still she will always remain a mystery to me.…

I remember walking through the double doors of the electives hallway, very anxious and nervous to try out for my position in the band. My mother and I reached the door to the band director's’ office, where we were greeted by a tall middle aged woman. On this day, I would begin to know this woman as Mrs. Troutman.

    “Y’all come back again real soon” reached my ears as I jumped into the car to travel back to my home in Florida. For the last several days, my Aunt Sarah had hosted me in her charming South Carolina home. As the house grew smaller and smaller in my rearview mirror, I recollected her welcoming, generous spirit. Each morning, my aunt would awake before dusk to put together a delicious breakfast of egg casserole, cheese grits, country ham, homemade biscuits with lingonberry jam and a side of ambrosia. Later, each night she would escort me to my well-appointed bedroom, where I could snuggle into a soft, down-filled comforter on my lovely, antique bed.…

    When the word “home” is defined in a dictionary you are given definitions like “the place in which one’s domestic affections are centered” or “any place of residence or refuge” but to me home means so much more.

Theatre transports me to places I couldn’t dream of otherwise and two years ago, I was taken to a place that would change my life forever and theatre transformed to the place I call home. Thoughts and ideas flooded my mind as I stepped into the off-green colored cafeteria.…
