Truth Essay- The Time I Performed In Orlando

This is a story about my trip to Orlando in May of this year. Before I begin, I will provide you with some background regarding how I ended up going there. From an early age, I have been interested in drama. I loved going to see plays, where alternate realities would form and come to life onstage, whisking the audience into a different world. It exhilarated me, and I wanted to be a part of it. However, I was not able to get involved in the theater arts until fifth grade, because my too-small-to-even-have-a-hospital community did not offer an acting program. When I was in sixth/seventh grade,my mom found that a new theater arts program had come to Eureka. It was called Nitsch Theatre Arts (NTA),

My sister, my mom, and I all got up very early on a crisp Thursday morning, and drove to the airport. We went through security, which was very fast because we were the only ones there, waited for a bit at the terminal, then boarded the plane. As our jet slowly accelerated into takeoff, I recall feeling very excited to be going to Orlando, but also quite nervous for the upcoming performance. We flew for a couple hours, then had a short layover, then we flew a little more. With a whoosh and a bump, our plane finally landed in Orlando, Florida. We met up with the rest of the group at the airport, and we rented a three vans to carry us all. Then, we went to the hotel, got unpacked, and went to Disneyworld. Disney was a lot of fun, because it had been forever since I’d last visited. I thought it was cool to see how the different rides and attractions had changed since I’d last been there, and I loved revisiting old favorites. I rode Space Mountain lots of times, had a lot of laughs in the Monsters Inc. attraction, and went to ride It’s a Small World and Thunder Mountain. We stayed at Disney for a long time, and went back to the hotel at around midnight.
The next day, Friday, we all went to Disney again. This time, we went to all of my favorite places; Epcot, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and the Rockin’ Roller Coaster. I had so much fun, especially at Epcot, where I tried food from almost every country. I also rode Spaceship Earth, which is one of my favorite Disney rides. The whole day was so much fun, and we got to skip a lot of the lines because one of the chaperones (the choreographer’s fiance) had a hurt foot and had to be in a wheelchair. His foot did not inhibit him too much though, because he still rode every single ride with

    This summer I went to the D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center. The best part was going to the Parks and Resorts panel. My mom and I were waiting in this mile long line at 9am for this panel that started at 3 pm. We finally started moving and went down the escalator to go into the basement.

    As a child, my parents shaped me into their ideal image of a little girl. The formation of their ideals actually started long before I first opened my eyes in the hospital. My story began back in 1988, when my parents met while working at Walt Disney World as cultural exchange workers from Canada. Their romance is a fairy tale. They had their first date at the Magic Kingdom, they spent all their days off on a Florida beach, and they experienced the technical magic that Disney is so well-known for.…

    A hemangioma is a benign tumor composed of blood vessels. One such tumor inhabits the back of my right eye known as the “macula” which is responsible for our keenest vision. As a result, I am legally blind in that eye. This condition is extremely rare as I have been told and as I can ascertain from a Google search for “macular hemangioma” that yields no relevant results. The discovery of this affliction has diverted my life’s path to a very unlikely place: The National Institutes of Health.…

    Following each performance, the cast and crew go out to greet the patrons, and little girls came up to me and wanted a pictures with me. I’m sure they were excited, but they have no idea how they solidified my future. After playing Alice, I knew that theatre wasn’t just my career, it was my way to help people. If I could make these little girls happy for two hours, or teach them to imagine and dream, then I’ve left a better footprint in this world. Mentoring younger peers inspires me, and teaches me about empathy and about myself.…

    It was a Tuesday, on September 22nd, 2015, I claimed my seat by the window of a Southwest plane, and leaned down to shove my large purple bag below my seat. I had put my headphones over my ears to escape the noises of the world around me. I turned my head to my dad and brother Taylor, they were adjusting to get comfortable, and then I rotated the opposite way to stare out the tiny window. It was a sunny afternoon, I was already thrilled to get out of high school, and to go to Florida was even better! I haven’t been to Florida in over 7 years and before that my family used to go every year.…

    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.…
