Becoming An Officer In PPCHS Charter High School

Improved Essays
As the 2015 to 2016 school year comes to a close and the seniors prepare to leave Pembroke Pines Charter High School and venture off to do bigger and greater things, they leave their legacy and positions behind. Soon, the grueling task of choosing the next candidates that can live up to the high expectations left from the graduating officers will be here. Being an officer for any club is a difficult task and that takes leadership and determination, I believe that I possess not only these qualities, but also additional ones that will make me a perfect candidate for an officer’s position in PPCHS’ drama department. I am experienced in high positions, I am dedicated to service, and I would not be who I am today without drama.

Although I have been in the drama program since my freshman year, I did not originally want to take drama. Initially in my freshman year, I was in H.O.P.E., but since I had already taken the class online, my guidance counselor changed my schedule to take drama instead. To be honest, I was upset because I have never been an extroverted person, only to my closest friends. Once I heard I had to write a monologue and perform it to the class, I am not going to lie but I cried myself to sleep those past few nights because I had never done anything like that before. Once the end of freshman year came, I had fallen in love with the class, yes I still got knots in my stomach before I got up on stage, but I liked it. During sophomore year, I had a scheduling mix-up and I was placed into the advanced drama 1 class instead of drama 2, so I basically repeated another year of drama 1, which was not a lot of fun. But something great came out of it; I met my best friend Victoria. She was also misplaced in her scheduling like me. Moving forward towards the end of my junior year, I was chosen to be stage manager and light board operator of High School Musical. I never would have known how much fun it was to be calling all of the shots from behind the scenes and meeting such amazing people in the process if I never left my H.O.P.E. class freshman

    In acting one I feel like I learned why more than what I intended. I think what most people and I would have thought is that acting is learning about how to play other people. But what we all can learn is that acting is way more then that. Acting is knowing that you can be anything in this whole entire universe even if this universe sees you as a nobody. I feel like everyday in this class I have a little bit more about myself.…

    That is when I realized performing became second nature to me. No matter what route I took it always came back to acting. Even after gaining my Theatre associates degree I still have the urge to yearn more for the technique. However, your school offers me the tools to not only act but grants students other opportunities rather than a straight…

    Though I am grateful for my midwestern upbringing, I cannot deny the pushes and pulls of the heritage that propels me to look beyond Milwaukee. Every year my family has two Thanksgivings. We have, what you could call, the “traditional” American Thanksgiving then we do it all again the “Dominican way”. This tradition is something that represents both parts of my ethnicity really well. My mother is from the west coast and was brought up in a very traditional European manner.…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    Failure is the act or instance of failing or proving unsuccessful. When someone fails at something it often makes them feel discouraged or apprehensive, but I have learned to look at failure differently. Failure to me is an opportunity. I have attended SCPA for nine years now, and before I came to SCPA, I went to Schiel. At Schiel you had the luxury of participating in multiple arts.…

    In middle school, I found myself to be more quiet, shy, and less outspoken than my peers. I joined all the same clubs and had the same interests as my peers, such as student council and National Junior Honors Society, but my introverted personality kept me from exploring new leadership roles. As I finished middle school and began my high school career, I brought my introverted personality with me. As first semester progressed, I joined clubs in school that encouraged an open mind and voice, specifically Key Club International, the world's largest, student-led, community service organization. In Key Club, I met students with open minds and strong leadership qualities.…

    What is an artist? The definition of an artist is different to everyone. To some, the word artist is taken as its literal meaning: someone who, quite simply, practices a creative profession. Others see it as a person who uses their creative energy and unleashes it for others to enjoy. To me, the true artist is someone who is able to control their creativity and use it to contribute to the greater good.…

    My interest in theatre dates back to middle school. At the time theatre seemed abstract and out of my comfort zone, because it was. However, I soon saw that being out of my comfort zone is empowering, and being abstract allows theatre to bring the world together, just like American Institute for Foreign Study. Throughout high school I continued to be involved in theatre for those reasons, and still enjoy writing plays.…

    Joining the Drama club, is one of the decisions I am most proud of. However it has always required a lot from me as a person. When I first joined I knew it would take dedication and some time after school. I, however, was not aware it would take nights of hardly any sleep, seeing members of drama more then my own family, sacrificing hours upon my weekdays and weekends, all the while keeping a good great point average. As I look back to last year, I am still shocked that I was able to participate in two shows and maintain a 4.0 state gpa.…
