2000-2009 Review

Things had started to change big time throughout the 2000's. In 2000, I became an sophomore in high school. My career in theater had started to expand in high school, So I started to find other opportunities besides the Drama Club. So I participated in their Talent Shows from 2000,2001,2002 and my last years in high school in 2003. I became fluent in poetry so I did their poetry slams. This an development time in my career. I even did an murder mystery in 2000. In 2001-2002 I became an junior in high school. 2003 was the time of change when I left high school in high honors, recoginition in the RI Honor Society, a special Ellen Anostos award and an pin in the Quill & Scroll Honor Society.

I finally entered the real world in the summer of 2003, so I began to enroll at CCRI in the fall of that year. Since, I had done alot of theater throughout the generation I decided to choose an theater degree. In the summer of 03,04 and 05 My gift of creative theater opportunity came to attend theater camps at Rhode Island College. 2003 was my first time of entering day programs with Gateways to Change and night activities with the Trudeau Center. In 2004, Gateways made an extension in an multicreative store that has art classes and theater classes as well as a theater space to do productions. I even done the Special Olympics for the first time in 2004. I keep on participating in the Special Olympics in 06, 07,08 and 09. I landed on a part time job with Kaliedoscope Theater in 2005. I've been doing productions with them in 05,06,07,08, and 09. In 2008, I got one of the lead characters in my first college production in February.

Basically, all those events and my development in my theater career in high school and in the real world, made me change my perspective of becoming a musical theater performer as an career choice. I know it's a tough career, but at the end the benefits will be worth it.
