I had to be very creative and sometime be an actor to get my point across to the youths. I began to realize that God gave me a gift to communicate and act so I needed to pursue this major. I began to investigate different universities which offer drama/theatre arts and communication. With the help of my SBI mentor, I decided to attend the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. There I will major in drama/theatre arts where I plan to earn a BA in acting. I believe attending this university will allow me to complete my desire career and goals in life even though I am only an upcoming Junior I have plans for my life. Acting has always been an interest of mine; I enjoy entertaining people and expressing my feelings through words, exaggerated facial expressions and body movements. My family and friends have always said I am very dramatic and humorous so I know this would be a great career for me; this is why I am so dedicated and interested in pursuing this career. My minor in college will be communications and broadcasting. I will use this knowledge to help youths in my neighborhood where drugs and crime rate are high; to get them involved in programs for teens that will teach them to focus on God, school, and activities. I will spend countless hours getting them to study their lessons to obtain the highest grades possible. With the encouragement of the staff at different programs, I see this happening.

    My American dream is to one day be either a set designer for theatre or to be one for movies or television. Right now, in terms of whether or not I am on the right path to accomplish this, I am just starting on the path in the general direction of where I want to end up, but ultimately I know I can do better. English literature is a great skill to have especially when first starting out. The more experience you have the better, and I am taking the necessary steps to ensure that I have a comfortable spot in the career direction I wish to pursue. I am taking two stagecraft classes and am participating in running crew for the fall play, the musical and Cupids, as I did last year.
