Undergraduate / 'something about musical theatre' - Expand on one of your extracurriculars. [4]
There's something about musical theatre. Something about workinghours a day for just a few on stage, about the friends that become your family,and about the expression of emotion withnothing but your body. I've known for a long time that my intellectual passionwas in science and engineering, but all of my creative passion lies on thestage. I learned through musical theatre how to completely release myself, tolet go and let everything be natural. It took me hours of dance lessons to trainmy long, awkward body to dance. I thought it would be all practice- memorizingthe various turns and leaps until they became natural- just like anything elseI was used to studying. But I had so many mental blocks up- it didn't seem likeI could master it like other subjects, until one class when my teacher told meto "just let go!" and I did it. Through musical theatre, I learned to release-to eliminate all mental blocks keeping me from my goals. And that is a lesson Iwill never let go.
