What do you want to be when you grow up?

I don't want to be anything because I already am something. Since I was one year old, I've been an obsequious servant to performing. Singing, dancing, acting, you name it. I chose this path because I love it and I can't picture myself doing anything else. When I'm up on that stage I get this adrenaline rush that can't be produced by any other activity. Performing is my panacea for life. When I'm in rehearsal all the drama is put aside and I'm free to just be myself. It's me and the music. There is no better feeling than when you take your final bow and receive a standing ovation.

Who is you favorite Actor/Actress? Why?

My favorite Actor is Meryll Streep. I was very precarious in choosing this person, but I felt that she serves as an inspiration to me. I am an actress myself and an important message Meryll Streep has taught me is to never give up. She was nominated for so many awards with her positive attitude and every time she wouldn't win she just kept trying again. Streep shows that with hard work and dedication you can achieve your goals. Meryll Streep also just has a natural acting talent that will never depreciate. She manages to get into character every time she works and can play any role that is given to her. I hope one day I can aspire to be as great of an actress as Meryll Streep.

What do you think of the open grade book?

I love the open grade book. I have been begging the school for over a year now to create a program like this. This program will help me improve my grades by allowing me to track them. I will never need to ask my teachers again. With this program my grades will never interpose between me and my happiness. If the school did not continue to keep this grade book, it would be a callous action. I believe that if the school kept the open grade book, they will see all their gpas improve greatly. The mystery of the grades without the open grade book is not helping students, who can never see what they did wrong so they can't improve.  Now instead of seeing a regular letter grade, the students can see the exact average, and look at all their grades.

If you could drop one class from your schedule, what would it be and why?

I would drop Gym. Gym is a useless course in our school that helps no one, but the athletes. Everyone is forced to participate in these stupid activities, and we are penalized if we don't. I would appreciate if someone in my class took a Penology class and found some sort of law that prohibits students from gym. Also, most students in Gym do not like to abide by the rules and don't participate in class. This course is such a waste of time, and students should be using the time slot to fill it with more productive things. Gym should only be mandated for 2 years and after that it should become an elective. The main defense statement for gym class is that it helps students try to gain more exercise, but the bottom line is that the kids who are participating in gym have gotten a lot of exercise from their additional sports teams, and are in major shape. The kids who do not participate have no exercise to begin with and end with no exercise. I think our gym classes should be specialized to what we want to do specifically. I saw this at another school. An example would be instead of taking old-fashioned gym, yoga or dance class could be offered, and the athletes could also have very rigorous programs to participate in. I have seen this system work out very well.

The Curse of MacBeth

The curse comes from the play's depiction of witchcraft, still a vital (though contested) belief in 1606, when the play was first performed. The people believe that the witchcraft that they did in the show had accidentally cast a spell on it. The most shocking effects of the curse was the 1672 Amsterdam production, as well as the 1998 Off-Broadway production. In the 1672 production the person playing MacBeth substituted a real dagger for the fake one and stabbed and killed the actor playing Duncan, onstage in front of everyone. In the 1998 production, Alec Baldwin accidentally sliced open the hand of his costar during a performance. What makes this event so shocking is that it is fairly recent, and I was alive for it. You can't mention the name MacBeth in a theater because it could "activate" the curse. If I had to avoid the curse I would use the method of reciting the Hamlet verse because it is the most dramatic and I'm too lazy to leave the room. In the method one must recite the verse: "Angels and Ministers of Grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn’d, Being with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked or charitable, Thou comest in such a questionable shape that I will speak to thee.". I am skeptic about this curse, and although I am an actress, I believe that if you give your performance your all, then you can overcome any curse. This is one of the many theater curses and superstitions I and other actors have heard.
