Theatre is more than an art to me. It's a lifestyle. It's more than a hobby, it's a passion. I don't remember who I was before I started doing theatre, but I wasn't myself. The people I have met have shaped me into the person I am today.. Who just so happens to be exactly the person that I want to be.
Acting makes everything easier. It turns the awkward kid sitting alone at lunch into a social butterfly. Even though the "popular" kids are making fun of them, the kid is happy.
It helps you with school, at least the memorizing part. It also helps you realize that, yes, you are a loser. But, it's okay! Because you have your theatre people. They are the only people that truly matter. I met my best friend, my boyfriend, and all my amazing friends through theatre.
High School is four years of hell when you're on the theatre side of a sports school. But really,does it matter when you all grow up and move on with your lives? A lot of people who do actually care about that stuff in high school never move in.

Just realize that you're gonna be happy as they settle as a housewife.
