Journal #31- My Passion

1) My passion is Musical Theater & just performing in general...I used to have a passion in only singing and dancing, but I've found a place where I can do both & I am slowly starting to enjoy acting as well

2) I started singing when I was 8 years old and dancing when I was 10. & I started doing musical theater a year and a half ago. Since then, I've performed at many competitions, public event, and I am at a current count of 7 community theater shows. Throughtout those years, I've definitely had many up and many many downs. But I think without those experiences I wouldn't consider this my passion. I could have easily given up my dream of performing but this was something that I wanted to persue so badly.

3) I would LOVE to continue doing this as a career & doing shows beyond community theater. My ultimate goal is to go further in New York or maybe take part of a touring company. I do want to continue stretching my knowledge for singing, dancing, and acting because there is so much more that I need to learn. & hopefully after having a great share of experiencing broadway, I hope to someday teach others or maybe direct shows because i know that someday, my time will pass and it will be time to pass it on and help other people pursue the same dreams I had.

  1. Hi Niki,
    Nice job of describing your passion and how it has impacted your life over the past years. Very specific goals and aspirations...you may want to seek out someone who has been working "beyond community theater" to find out a little bit more about that life and how they've adjusted to it :)

    As far as teaching and directing, I wonder if there may be opportunities to work with things like HTY or some of the summer theater programs, to gain some experience in that area as well.

    Assessment score: 3
