Opportunities

 I truly believe opportunities are constantly surrounding us. Always. It's whether or not we see them there; and if we do see them there, whether or not we take them.

Topsy Turvy Broadway was one of the biggest opportunities I've had in my high school career.

 It wasn't the first time I've done an unpublished show, or the first time I've written something for a show, 

(that was Emotionography last year), but it was full of a lot of firsts for me:

It was the first time I directed something.

It was the first time I choreographed something.

It was the first time I rewrote a song for a show.

It was the first time I somewhat casted something.

It was the first time I wasn't completely prepared.

And, it was the first time I've ever sang in a show.

And now that it's said and done, I can't help but think of how amazing it was.

It's really a fun thing to think about how much I was able to do because of this show. I mean, how many other people can say that a parody they rewrote with somebody actually became a number in a show?

How many people can say they choreographed a dance in said show that actually made people laugh?

Not many, I'll tell you that. At least, not many high school kids anyway.

I'm lucky.

But then again, it isn't all luck. It was opportunity. Because of amazing people in my life, I had the opportunity to do this amazing show, an opportunity I would have forever regretted not taking.

My next big opportunity = directing a show. And I'm taking it.
