Musicals were a big part of my high school career. For three months of the school year, I spent my free time rehearsing dances, songs, and blocking. The picture above is of my very last musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. I played Mrs. Potiphar and, as a senior, I took on leadership role in picking out, ordering, and organizing props. Through this experience, I have made many friends that I still keep in touch with today. Musical helped increase my confidence in myself and my ability to work with others as a team to pull off a great show. My time management skills, public speaking skills, and personal confidence were all improved by this experience and they helped me become the person I am today. Musical taught me that, despite the often literal blood, sweat, and tears, hard work always pays off and the final result always makes up for the pain you went through to get there.
