I go every day and talk to Mother Midkiff who has a background in theater, and if i can get into that school, then i can get into Full Sail one day so much easier. I had my interview today and she kind of shot me in the foot - crippled me.
"Megan, your GPA is very good and so is your ACT score, but you have two disadvantages in front of you - 1. You aren't a regular theater student, so i don't know if you don't have a background in this. Plus, you're a band student, and this may eat away at this opportunity for you. and 2. you're a sophomore, and this goes to juniors first."
i thought my heart came out my ass. The fact that they are taking 30 kids from 5 schools is terrifying. Plus, some of these kids don't even want to do anything with theater after high school. I want to be an engineer. I have my heart set on it - it has been this way for years. So, if I get knocked out of my slot by someone who just wants to do this for fun, I might jump off a bridge.
i wont have another opportunity like this in Kentucky. Why does it have to be up to someone else for me to pursue my dreams? It just doesn't make sense. I need training and this is the only way I know how to get it. I was practically politely begging, saying things like:
"I want to be a recording engineer in a studio one day, and i've had my heart set on it for years. There isn't anywhere to start in Kentucky. This is my one shot. It all relies on this academy."
I hope that woman understands my drive.
this is all i want. the only thing i want. i will live in train stations for the rest of my life if i can work here everyday, own one, and work with brilliant minds.
i really like this, i feel like its deep and meaningful and emotional without like dripping in deepness, and its also kind of humorous. you're a really good writer!!
