Overcoming Adversity In The Glee Club

Everyone knows high school can be rough. But what happens when the most unpopular people in the school join the only club where they are truly appreciated and welcomed? Lots of slushies thrown in your face. Why? Because Glee Club is the lamest club in the school. I have been binge watching this show for so long, and I just can’t stop. This TV Show highlights any adversity you could think of, and shows different characters overcoming it. Simply, if you were to say “I wish (blank) never happens to me!” there is a glee episode for that. Although this TV show can be inappropriate for some ages, there is a true message about overcoming adversity in it.

Imagine being back in high school. The pressed polyester cheerleader uniforms, the red letterman

Mr. Schuester was a member of Glee club when he went to school, and decides to reboot the program. To his dismay, only five, wildly unpopular kids sign up. The self-centered, yet extremely talented lead singer Rachel Berry. Rachael has long, straight brown hair, and brown eyes. She dresses like a toddler, and she is short as well. Rachel's whole life, she has felt like an outsider,and the only place where she truly belonged was Broadway. Since she was three months old, she took dance lessons, vocal lesson, and piano lessons. Anything to get her a competitive edge. Her passion, her heart and her soul was devoted to singing. She even had a MySpace page where she recorded herself singing, however the cheerleaders liked to leave a couple of nasty comments, but the vicious comments did not stop her from doing what she loved. a fiesty teen named Tina Cohen-Chang and her nerdy wheelchair friend Artie who takes the role of the male lead. Also among the first five are Kurt Hummel, with a voice like Diana Ross, and Mercedes Jones, who wants to be like Beyonce. The Glee Club’s first few days are rough, until Mr. Schuester is posting sign up

This truly showed that nothing is impossible, as long as you have a creative outlet to express yourself. I also liked that there were so many different romance pairing. They also have many different combinations. Boys dating boys, girls dating girls, and girls dating boys. They have every type of overcoming adversity, including teen pregnancy, disabilities, and suicide. This may seem like an extremely sensitive topic, however these teenager’s love of singing, dancing, and music in general help them overcome their challenges. I also like that the covers were AMAZING. They have every type of singer possible, from deep and soulful, to light and high-pitched. Some covers of the songs the Glee Club sings are even better than the original, with a perfect mix of older songs, with current music, and every genre from rap, to rhythm and blues, to pop music. Everything a music lover could ask for. Hits from bands such as Journey, and also including favorite soloists such as Madonna and Whitney Houston. What I didn’t like is that after the fifth season, the show seemed to lose focus of the true meaning of glee, and the cast was not as enjoyable as the earlier seasons. You can learn from the show that nothing is impossible, as long as you can believe it. You can also learn that there is no such thing as underdogs, only stars who don’t shine as
