Exhibit: Elf Rebellion
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Top piece from Elective class
Throughout my elective classes I would have to say theatre was my favorite and where I had the most success. My junior year we had two plays going on at the same time. We had a small Christmas play and a major play. At the same time I was learning the lines for the main play I was also learning the part for a completely different play. Even with this against me I still gave an amazing performance.
Junior year we did the plays 60’s Mania and The Elf Rebellion. We did these plays at the same exact time so while I was learning one part I was learning a completely new one. I was really stressed out about the performance of The Elf Rebellion, because I had a huge role along with the role in 60’s Mania. When the day of the play came around I also had a trigonometry test. I was really worried about everything and it led to me being overworked and stressed. Luckily my performance went great and it is still memorable to this day. I was really proud of what I accomplished.
I learned a lot about stress management from all of this and I realized that no matter how much was going on I could still do an amazing job. This allowed me to go confidently into my senior. I can now handle the much larger work load I have in my senior year. I have been much more successful thanks to this experience.
