Opening Remarks

Hello wonderful world and my gracious readers A.K.A forum. I’m the one and the only ShaShaank A.K.A Shankazoid. I’m a 15 year old, who’s still trying to find his place in the world. To do this I joined a Dramatic Arts course at my high school hoping to find my true calling. I’ve always loved entertaining people, and putting a smile on another’s face is the reason for my existence.

"The heights by great men reached and kept, were not obtained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night."
-          Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

This is a quote once told to me by my father Srini, has always been sitting somewhere in the back of my head driving pushing me to follow its meaning. My goal for this school year is to make this the quote for my life, I hope I can finally live up to it this year working hard to get ahead of anyone else.

“The Art of Being Shank” is my first blog and is my blog for my grade 10 year let’s see where it goes on from there. The name of the blog comes from my theory that being you is an art, an art that no one else is capable of performing. This blog will display the art of being me, ShaShaank A.K.A Shank.

The course Acting for T.V and Video has been quite an interesting course and definitely my favourite course of the first semester. During a regular day in my life the
High points in my day are my drama class, and my football practice. The reason I tend to enjoy this course so much more than any other course is probably because I genuinely enjoy the subject and the atmosphere of the course is so positive and encouraging of being yourself. This something I noticed in both my grade 9 drama class and now in my grade 10 drama class, the course allows you to form strong bonds with your peers. This is all the more possible when your teachers and her assistants create the positive environment you need to flourish. All in all, these past few weeks in this course have been wonderful, later forum.
