Assignment 24 - Megan Meadors

This has been a long year. There has been many successes such as my working with the Henry Clay Theater Department where I got a more active role in stage managing. I got to work on the sets for the plays in Theater Stagecraft every day and I got to have a lot of hands on experience working with tools, even though I’ve used most of them before. I also got accepted to the Governors School for Entrepreneurs for the summer, which means I’ll be spending three weeks at Transy working with a team to create a mock business.

As far as failures go, there have been many and I’ve learned that I need to stop procrastinating and that will make my life a lot easier. I’ve most definitely made many mistakes in the past year and I’ve learned from those as well. I don’t want to get into those, but this year has been a year of learning new things.

This summer, I am going to be volunteering at Camp Judy Layne, a Girl Scout Camp, working with children. I will also be getting waterfront trained so I will be able to lifeguard both in pools and in natural bodies of water. I am also getting belay trained, so I can work at the rock climbing tower. As I have also already said, I am going to GSE this summer, so I will be learning a lot about how to create and run a business and work with other entrepreneurs from around Kentucky.

Finally, for my senior year, I am directing with the theater, so I hope that I will learn more about what it takes to direct a show and I will be more confident when working with the actors especially when giving notes and making decisions. I have done this a little when stage managing so I am looking forward to expanding the jobs I have done in the theater and I am excited to see where the theater program goes next year.
