Dramatic Allies
My life has been full of allies for various things, but my mom, a great ally, was one of the most influential. Though she could not be there to witness it, she was a great help in preparing me for the theater program. She has always helped me prepare for the plays and musicals that I have attempted. Even when I felt shaky about it, she has pushed me to try again and work harder on it. In addition to that, she picks me up every day and allows me to continue doing it, supporting my choices and picking me up if I missed a line, failed to remember instructions, or just feeling down after a rehearsal. No matter what, she has been there for me when I needed her, encouraging me to try again and work harder, and she has played a substantial

“What? You have to be louder.”
“Fine. A man with an eye patch and a s --” I attempted once more.

“A MAN WITH ... AT,” I half said, half yelled. ”Was that good?” I inquired.
“It could have been better, but it’s a start. Keep working on it, and I’ll hear it again later. Okay?”
“Alright, thanks.” I was pleased that I was starting on my audition, and went back to working on it in order to obtain a good part, and because my mom helped me ready and project it, I made it in with a great part. Looking back now, I realize that without my mom to guide me in honing my skills and practicing for the drama program, I would not be nearly as good of an actor, and probably would have stopped auditioning for it. Ultimately, my mom has been my ally throughout my drama career and aided me in whatever I

    The article “For parents of college student, it’s time to panic” by Deborah N. Waldner discusses the pain that parents of college children feel when their children leave home. Parents experience tremendous amount of emotions when their children leave from anguish when they understand their child is no longer a baby to delight when they realize they have free time again and get to go out and do what they want.
