How I did it: Don't be afraid to ask for help. Often people who know you well just can't believe there's something wrong because they don't see what goes on in your mind - get help from a doctor or counselor. It will make a world of difference just having someone objective to talk to. If your doctor suggests medication, don't discount this option right away - and don't assume it will solve all your problems. If properly prescribed and appropriatel… Read how I did it…

How to be in a musical
It took me
1 year
It made me
Sad it had to end.

How I did it: I tried out, got a small part the first year, and had so much fun. I did two musicals in elementary school and I've done 2 non-musical plays since I entered high school, and I'm going to try out for our school production of Cabaret this spring. If you get a tiny part in your first musical, don't get discouraged - the parts only get bigger!

become multilingual

English is my first language, and since I live in Canada I’ve taken French every day since I was 6 years old. I’m pretty good at French, so I think if I keep taking it in school all the way through I could be fluent in French by the time I’m at University.

I’ve also done a bit of Italian – it’s so similar to Spanish and French that it shouldn’t be that hard for me to pick it up. Wish me luck!!!
