Gratitude

I am spending my last semester at Tisch's Stonestreet studios, which is a unique film and television program, designed to immerse actors in the industry and introduce acting techniques for sit coms, dramas, voice-overs, and commercials. Not only has the program broadened my knowledge of the art of screen acting, it has also introduced me to new actors, who have become some of my dearest friends. I admire how my friends trust their work and are fearless when they act. 
One of my idols, Lucille Ball claimed, "I am not funny. My writers were funny. My direction was funny. The situations were funny. But I am not funny. I am not funny. What I am is brave..." Bravery is key for actors and it also aids the foundation of strong bonds of love and friendship. 
Great acting requires the utmost vulnerability and openness. And having a core group of supportive and professional friends at Stonestreet has allowed for my section to make leaps and strides in our work across the boards.
