PERFORMING ARTS; UT transfer essay: statement of purpose

any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.

A cheer, a laugh, a cry, a petrified gasp; those smiles, tears of empathy,
voices of appraisal. Yes, this is what I'm here for. This is what I want. Since
entering the fourth grade theatre and film have been an interest of mine. It was
not until college, however, that I began to take it seriously as a viable
profession.

My involvement with the performing arts has been a rejuvenating process.
Before and even at the beginning of college, I felt lost and confused as to
what I was doing and what I wanted to become. I had always had an interest in
both theatre and film before graduating, but it had not become serious until I
attended Brookhaven College. There, I took a stagecraft class which trained
such skills as set construction and design, light installation, and proper use
of power tools. Before I had taken this class, I had absolutely no experience
with any technical work because I was usually performing on stage. Soon after,
I was offered a position as a student assistant. I have been involved with
every stage production, whether it be on or backstage, since January 2011.

Several months after I had been hired I got in contact with an independent
film director via Parul Bhatia, an English composition teacher at Brookhaven.
By spring 2012, the director had attended one of my performances at Brookhaven
and decided to cast me in his next project. We began shooting in August and
recently ended in December. Despite discovering how long and grueling a low
budget film-making process can be, it was a pleasure and great learning
experience to work with bigger actors who were actually getting paid to do what
they love. I was inspired, just by witnessing a growing branch of an even larger industry.

I don't expect to make it big anytime soon. In truth, I don't expect to come near anything
like that at all. What I do expect is to work in these industries for the rest of my life,
because it's what I love doing. To be apart of an everlasting movement - to send a
message, tell a story; to make a person laugh, even the slightest chuckle. I'm determined
to influence people through this medium, both emotionally and thought provokingly.
The stage is my sandbox.

First I have a small request for you. When you make posts regarding undergraduate applications or studies, post them under "undergraduate essays". The other thing is, have your essay look more appealing and don't just copy and past. This advice is meant for you to get more comments for your essay. Generally people who give comments to others' essays, search essays in the respective forums and give attention to nice and tidy ones. :D

.... pay attention to punctuation :)
