This. Class. ROCKS!
It reminds me a lot of my English 101 class last semester. So many different people, but such an incredibly atmosphere. Today we had to do a "Three Object Speech." Meaning, we had to take 3 objects and metaphorically connect them to 3 important things in our lives.
My first was family, then theater, and then of course, this blog.
It's incredible what 4 minutes and 3 objects can say about a person. I fell in love with that class today. I don't think there was a second where I wasn't smiling. Everyone is so unique and we all shared some amazing stories.
There were tears, shakes, and laughs, and I love that class.
My incredibly fabulous gay teacher is one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He is so comfortable in his skin and you can tell with just the way he talks.
We have the 2 army veterans who I have become good friends with. The single moms, the fire fighters, the musicians, the animal lovers, the politicians, and so much more.
I am definitely putting my heart and soul into this class. It's probably one of the few classes that will really benefit me. I may be an actress, but talking in front of a class still scares me shitless.
I was so pleased with the outcome of my speech, I even got a hug in the parking lot. I'm so grateful for being able to share my story and my struggles. And I still can't believe I'm still writing today and how far I've come.
It's going to be a great semester.
