. Welcome One and All .

Hello everyone!

I am a Senior majoring in Theatre Arts w/ a concentration in Secondary Education. I am interested in education and all that it stands for. Teaching theatre education is a passion of mine, because I strongly believe that the arts are very important in a child’s life, be it academically or personally. I also believe that theatre is a creative and expressive art form in which it enriches us. Having grown up and attended school in Boston it was unfortunate that I was not exposed to theatre in the school system, assuming that it had to do with budget cuts, etc. With that being said, I would like to encourage other students, parents and teachers to help make a difference, and possibly make some major improvements one day.

Well, this is my first online course and I must admit I was a little skeptical at first, but I am certainly warming up to the idea of learning outside of a classroom based class. I thought that it may have been a disconnected experience. Although, I must say that so far I have been proved wrong. With all of the many advances we have with technology
, internet, and blogging it has become a sort of connectedness. Looking forward to learning from all of you.

Have a fabulous night!!
