In the Merriam- Webster Dictionary, inspiration is defined as: “the quality of being mentally stimulated to do something creative.” I believe inspiration as an act of kindness or a passion that motivates me to the best I can. Theatre itself has been nothing other than inspiration to me. It has shown me a different way of not just high school but of life in general. It has changed me for the better in so many ways. Now before I explain why I would be an inspiring theatre teacher, I think you should now where I got my inspiration from. Going into my sophomore year I never thought I would ever consider trading in my cheerleading uniform for spending all my free time at the FZW Auditorium, Well after having a semester of Intro to theatre, someone changed that. Over the past two years, I have learned and been motivated by a teacher that has prepared me for going into education. I have always been intrigued by her continual …show more content…
I always enjoy knowing that because of just taking a simple fine art class has changed my life forever. By comparing my experiences as a cheerleader and being a theatre kid, it’s made me look at how much cheerleading was holding me back. I wanted to alway prove to my team mates of my skills and potential, but it was known that I would always be that girl “ taking one for the team”. It never occurred to me at the beginning of sophomore year where that could be where I start a new chapter of my life and know that there is more to life out there than just sports. Seeing that I was an athlete for such a long period of time, it never gave me the pure enjoyment that theatre has provided me in such a short amount of time. Being with three different cheerleading programs I have made more accomplishments with theatre than cheer ever could’ve offered me. I always appreciate how I was welcomed into drama club with open arms and was given the opportunities that would be cherished
Even if I didn’t make it, I don’t think anyone realizes what you learn when training in this profession. Musical theatre has allowed me to step up, commit to my work, become more confident and to have fun! You learn to become focused and pay more attention to detail. Building sets, reading scenes and learning music betters your communication and listening skills. All of these skills I have acquired over the last few years and I they are still helping me to grow. I think my biggest take away from this past summer is to become more confident as a person and in my work. Confidence is a big part of doing musical theatre. Some people having no confidence or a little too much. Trying to gain confidence has made me appreciate my body, the little things and what I do. I have already had many people come up to me at school and tell me that they’re loving my new glow confidence and love for myself. Overall, I see why people doubt the career, but they only consider the outside results. Musical theatre has made me the person I am today and I will never forget
What started out as a hobby transformed into a passion for an art form that allows me to use movements and expressions to tell a story. Whether I’m on stage in front of an audience of just friends and family, hundreds of strangers and a panel of judges, or the whole school, performing over thirty times, has helped me build lifelong
Some of the most influential things in my life have changed me so much and shaped me into the person I am today. If it wasn’t for my friends and family I wouldn't have nearly the amount of musical knowledge that I have now and I’m so grateful that I can be somewhat well versed in a topic that I am so passionate about. And when I get into the topic of my friends and family I always have the feeling that I am extremely lucky to have so many great people that care so much about me in my life, I always have someone to lean on when I’m going through a hard time, and I always feel like they support me in my choices to be in the BHS Drama Program. The BHS Drama program is something that I look forward to every day after school and honestly it gives me the motivation I need to go to school and get my work done. There are so many other things that I’m grateful for but if were not for these things than I would be a completely different person than I am now. I’ve made so many memories and shared so many experience with just these things alone, they take up almost all of my
Cheerleading has been a big part of my life. As my senior year winds down, it is one of the things that I will miss the most. If my best friend had not encouraged me to join, I don't know if I would have the confidence and self-assurance that I do today. Cheerleading has influenced my decision to join other activities and be active in school as much as I possibly can. Cheerleading has helped me grow from an awkward seventh grader to a well-rounded
The career that I chose was Performing Arts, more specifically, Musical Theatre. I would perform as a singer, dancer as well as an actress, gaining the title of a performer. My career in a small view is performing different plays and musicals for people and making everyone happy. I chose this career, because I love performing and I’ve always done some form of it through elementary school until now. I had always enjoyed singing and playing music, but when I performed in front of the student body in Play Production II, everything changed. I had learned that I loved acting and singing the same amount. I decided, if I could do one thing, I would perform in some sort of musical. It is important to understand
It’s a very rewarding feeling knowing you’ve helped someone who has been really struggling, and knowing that they trust you with their problems and that they know they can rely on you for assistance when they need it. Being involved with the musicals is some of the most fun i’ve had in my highschool career. I’ve always tried out for the highschool musical and always gotten a part, and just last year I helped the backstage crew of the middle school musical. Just being a part of it is what I like the most, being a single part in an entire production, and i’m the person who was best fit for that specific part. It makes me feel unique and different knowing that I was picked for that certain part. Last year I got my first actual lead as the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard Of Oz. It had to have been the greatest experience of my life, I read my script any chance I could because I wanted to make this the best performance I have ever done, and I feel like I had
What it takes to be an inspirational teacher is by having courage,and not giving up when times are hard,and it takes a challenge.The Ron Clark Story And The miracle worker both had great inspiration teachers because they both improve their students,They also had major connections with their
Technical Theatre class was a great learning experience for me. When I first signed up for the class, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I had always been quite clumsy, and I’d never been very handy; so I didn’t think I would be of much use to the set building process. However, before the building process began, the class was taught how to properly and safely use power tools. Being educated on how to handle the equipment made me feel a lot more confident. Now, I’m proud of myself because I ended up getting a lot of work done that I didn’t think I was capable of.

I have been involved in theatre ever since middle school. My first official play was in the 8th grade at Farley Middle School: M*A*S*H. My character was Private Sue Todd, a small role but I was able to learn the ropes of theatre performance. After that play in the fall, Hutto High School was putting on its musical:
Baty 1 Hola, I am your typical twenty-year-old college freshman. Ha-ha, sike! I am anything but typical. I am an introvert, but I am determined to stand out from the crowd. I am determined to reinvent myself regardless of what society may have to say about my decisions.
Ever since I was a young girl I have had two passions, music and education. I grew up in a family musically talented, so the passion for music was inevitable. On the other hand, my passion for education was instilled in me through my grandmother. She always said “you are never too old to learn; you can learn something new every day.” This statement alone is what drove me in my educational journey.
Before I started Introduction to Theatre class, I had been only to a couple of plays in my life. Just in this semester I’ve been to about ten plays and have learned so much about the art of theatre. The information I retained from class will help out a lot in the future, but the most important part of this class was the shadowing experience of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With being able to get an inside look at this play during rehearsal and then going to see the performance was an incredible experience. By going to the rehearsal and then seeing the show, I was able to learn and understand more on how the theatre works. From there, I could understand the long process the actors and directors have to go through before the opening show happens.
Everyone who has ever dedicated their time to a theatre program comes away with more knowledge of life skills than can be taught from any other program. One of the most important skills in life that people learn from theatre is self-confidence. By letting the instinct of acting take over when performing and being in front of an audience the confidence people have in themselves begins to grow. A person is also taught to trust by putting faith in others and that they’ll do what they’re supposed to in order to produce the show. Another skill is cooperation which is taught by having to work with many people to achieve a common goal, even when not everyone sees eye to eye. One also learns the skill of showing empathy after acting in roles from different time periods and cultures. When rehearsing and performing the many different lines, blocking and cues an actor has it also enhances their memorization skills. Overall, one can learn a multitude of skills from only being in one show and the skills will continue to grow and develop the more times a person takes part in a
As we reminisce and reflect back either on our childhood or academic career, we tend to have that one teacher who was memorable to us in some way - for their sense of humor, their stellar personality, or perhaps having that charisma and charm no other teacher had to make a difficult subject and it 's concepts fun to learn. While knowledge is power, I firmly believe that it is rather the exchange and distribution of knowledge that is power. When one can educate the masses there is no doubt that together we can accomplish great things. Becoming a teacher would mean the opportunity to be able to witness the shaping and molding of the minds of the future generations and the satisfaction knowing that you have helped your students set themselves onto the right path and provide guidance towards the creation of a better tomorrow. Choosing to become a teacher will allow me not only to educate my students, but also educate myself to be a better teacher throughout my career. I believe it is a function of human nature to want to change the world for the better. In adulthood, I have learned that the improvement of the welfare of the world must begin with
