Well, it's official-I am outta there! I graduated May 13th and I am glad to be done. I have the whole world at my feet waiting to be explored. High school has been a great experience and very rewarding, but I can't really say I'll miss it. I am looking forward to the adventure that awaits me out here-on the outside of the high school walls.
I also had prom and since I never feature my girlfriend on here, I will do that now. She and I have been friends for a couple of years, but just started dating in November after she played my leading lady in "High School Musical". She is an amazing girlfriend and very supportive of my crazy schedule....although sometimes it's tough balancing a love life with the demands of being an actor. I am hoping that graduating will free up some of my time, but so far it's not looking promising.
playing a game with our buddy team from China Right now I am in Knoxville TN
My Destination Imagination Drama team made global finals which are held in Knoxville every year on a college campus. It's fun meeting people from all over the world and we always team up with a buddy-team that is also there to compete from another country. This year we are getting to know a team from China.------>
We just met them this morning.
The D.I. competition is all student initiated. Students write the script, make the props, design their own costumes, and direct each other on the team. It's good to know that whether we make it or break it is dependent upon us.
I have really great team mates. I have shared the stage with all of them through high school. Some of them will be leaving in the fall to go on to colleges far away so this is really our last hoo-rah before we all go our separate ways. This isn't a school activity, but we are all from the same school.
When I get back, I have couple of weeks till I perform in a competition called "KC Superstar" which is a singing competition in Kansas City kind of like American Idol for local high school students. I made semi-finals out of hundreds of competitors. They narrowed it down to 24. If I make it past that, it will be down to 10 and we have a rigorous schedule of dance rehearsal and getting ready for the big show in August. I hope to make it to finals because the grand prize is $10,000 but all 10 finalists will receive some kind of money.
I also start taping my movie when I get back so I am really looking forward to that.
I also take a summer intensive class at the college for theatre every year and I miss my classmates. They come from all over Kansas City and are some of the best actors around here.
And of course, I have Sound of Music at a local regional professional (Starlight) theatre in July.
So my summer is pretty busy but it's filled with exciting opportunities. Looking forward to every minute of it!
