Determination (September 13, 2007)


In my second time to attend an acting class, I was privileged once again to be under the tutelage with one of the leading stage performer of the original Miss Saigon. She is a walking inspiration as she has shown that we can reach our stars when we look for it.

The class comprised of many men and women in the very beginning. Surprising to tell you, but the class diminished into ten people consisting of just two men and the rest were women. There were many reasons given to their dropping the class. Some mentioned the late class hours; others were scared of the language used in class. One even commented that the class was very elitist.

Thinking about it, it wasn’t about schedules, language or the demands of the teachers. They were aware of the consequences when they enrolled. The main factor was determination. If each and everyone were determined to make it to the end, then the class will be more fun, more exciting, and more productive. Anyway, the end product of the acting class was a jewel. I am proud I was determined to reach the end. In fact, it was just the beginning.
