Aladdin..The end of a chapter...

My CYT career has an actor is over.But one thing about CYT,they always love having alumni come back and help wherever they can.As teachers,directors,sets,backstage,etc.I'll be back. :) But I will miss being on stage with everyone.

Along with me there was two other people graduating from Aladdin.Emily Martin, and Luke McCrae.

Emily and I occasionally talked but were never close.Not that we didn't talk, we just never hung out much.She was such a sweet girl.Wish we would of spent more time getting to know each other better.She's been doing CYT a long time but this last few years only doing a few a year.She was only in 4 of the 7 I did in these 2 years.The plays we were in together,she was always doing opposite things of me and we never got to work together.I know God has things in store for her.

Luke,I'm gonna really miss.He's a good friend and always had a hug and smile for me.He could always make me laugh.Like if I was just sitting by myself,resting while every one else was running around he would bounce up to me,sit down and just start jabbering away.He's really good at gymnastics, so when I say bounce I mean it literally.It was always pretty funny to watch.He's moving to Colorado in January.

I got to do the pre-show for the play with me fellow shop keepers.It was a blast! I loved doing my scene with Paul and Becca.

At the strike party awards,I got "Sitting Pretty".The award given to a student who helps with hair and make-up.Whether it's a student,not in the production,or a cast member taking time to help others.I got it.:) It was a cool to get an award for my last show.All three seniors(Emily,Luke,and me) got awards.That was pretty cool.That doesn't happen very often.

Afterwards I got so many hugs and people telling me how much they will miss me and how much I mean to them.It meant the world to me to hear all those things.I'm well loved and I know it.I don't think there is a better feeling on earth.A week after the show is over I'm still hearing,"I'm gonna cry..I MISS YOU MEGAN!" haha. CYT is the best thing to ever happen to me.It helped me grow so much as a person. I know from here things are only gonna get bigger & better.God has so much in store for me. CYT is only a piece of the big picture. I'm so blessed.:)

Always,
