Things I Actually Like To Do.

I am a performer. I live to dance, sing, and act. I've always loved to read aloud in class, put on a show with my friends and I am good with description. Today, I finally proved that I am an actress to myself. You see, until today I did not believe I had what it took to act. Today, I performed my first monologue. Well. That's actually plural. I performed two. Tomorrow is the Northwest Region Acting Competion and I am scared. I will be performing this two monologues there. My school is bringing nine pieces and we have 14 participants.
But anyway, so I performed them for Mister Barnett after rehearsal and I did well. I really did. I feel really good about them. I've never felt that way about acting. I've always felt insecure about being an actor because I never felt I could show who another person, a person I do not know, is. I still don't 100% but I feel like I could manage to get something from a monologue to create something of an illusion... Now, I've just been practicing like crazy to get my times.
I also dance. Dance is a large passion of mine. It's probably what I love most, as well. I am known as "Cassidy, the dancer." I have been dancing for almost seven years now. Three years into tapping, I decided to try jazz. At first, I was very... awkward. I remember it now. It was terrible dancing and singing to "Since U Been Gone" (UGH) By Kelly Clarkson in horrid Golden Costumes. Anyway, I stuck it out and transferred into Lyrical Jazz the next year and have stuck there ever since. That same year, I started hip-hop and basic ballet. I'm decent at hip-hop. My training is a jazz based hip-hop so I am in no way hard hitting and funky. It's just fun. It's been almost three years since I started all of this new dancing. Last year, I stopped tap because I didn't have time in my schedule for it, though I'd love to start up again for fun in college.
I also stopped taking choir this year. My academic schedule is too full. I sing all of the time of course, I'm just never warmed up. I don't feel too sad about this because out of the three (while I am a nice singer,) I think it's my weak link.

So I perform. It's what I do. I also ride horses and read for fun. I don't have a million friends. I'm well-aquainted with the general public of my peers and I'm happy enough.

That's it.
