Unfortunately, certain roadblocks interfere if I switch my major. For example, my scholarship from Lamont would be in jeopardy and without it, I could not afford a four-year education from the University of Denver. I could always transfer to a less expensive university- I have looked into CU Denver, and the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley- but I feel that hindering my education based on finances may potentially limit future possibilities. Moreover, with the current high rating on the Daniels College of Business, who would want to go anywhere else?

Outside of the strictly educational side of college, I have established a social comfort within this university and am proud to be a DU Pioneer. It would be a shame to leave after finding so many potential brilliant friendships.

In addition, performing is my passion. My day is not complete if I have not in someway experienced a performance. This “performance” could range from me screeching out my favorite tune in the car, to a routine musical performance at a local theatre company. I cannot imagine giving up my life-long dream and working a desk-job in some corporation in order to work my way to the top. Clearly, sacrifices will be made and life will not always be just the way I want it, but I will and always have focused on my personal happiness and plan on doing whatever it takes to keep from straying off the path.

Therefore, for the time being, I am forced to consider other options within my chosen major. Teaching is a practical solution; however, I cannot see myself in that profession. Down the road, I will without a doubt pass on my knowledge to aspiring performers, taking from my own personal failures and successes and giving suitable advice; but in the immediate future, I see myself actually experiencing what so many only dream about.

Despite my current dilemma, I do have many options, and one of them will help me achieve my goals. As of now, the best thing I can do is focus on my BM vocal performance major and get all that I can out of it. When talking to my professors, I get so inspired and motivated to really “make it” as a musician; and sometimes, I get the urge to pack up and head for those bright lights of Broadway. Then I really think of what I want, and what it is going to take. If I have learned one thing in the first three weeks of school, it is that there is constantly someone better and bigger, no matter the subject, song, or part- there is always a direction to grow. Whenever I feel like I have conquered the talent peak of Lamont, I will start a new ascent toward the Mt. Everest of the performance world. Perhaps I will find a role as an understudy in a touring company or get a small part just off Broadway- keeping a steady climb toward the top. joozone.com

When asked what ideals I hope to acquire from my education at DU, I can simply say- motivation, passion, and endless knowledge of my chosen field. Whether or not I decrease or intensify the focus on music as a major, I am a life-long performer and will someday reach the top of that mountain. Look out Broadway- here I come!
