My first musical done through my high school, ironically being “High School Musical”, was a meaningful event in my life and has no doubt made an impact on my life. I have made many good friends through the theatre department, and spending everyday with the cast and crew helped me further understand them and how they each think, which will help me become an outstanding citizen on campus because I will be able to help others when in need. Besides the other actors in the show, “High School Musical” solidified my prediction that I wanted to pursue acting as a serious career for my life. Outside of school, I had been a part of a few acting experiences, mainly just a few extra roles in upcoming films, and they were all really fun, however, the way I was able to finally see how an audience would react to my acting enthralled me. Whilst the show was loads of fun, it wasn’t always such a simple, lighthearted extracurricular. It was difficult to find the necessary balance between my academic work and the show, however, after a while, I was able to pull my grades up and focus on both of them, with my main focus being on my grades. This experience helped me realize that I must put all of my effort into everything I do in life in order for my future to be as grandiose as I hope it to be. If I hadn’t put all of my effort into both my schoolwork and the show, my grades would’ve drastically fallen and the show would’ve demolished.
