Day 136~ 136/365

Today I went to PCT to talk to a camera about what it means to me.

It was kinda hard, I've been at PCT for such a long time, it's hard to remember all that it has done for me.

PCT has been there for me for a really long time, since I was very little and I couldn't even speak correctly. I remember that from the moment when I saw my first show, when I was 3 or 4, all I wanted to do was act. I kept telling my mom that but she thought because of my speach inparment it just wasn't in the cards. Then I saw a friend of mine in Harry Potter, at PCT. At the end of the show Ms. Sara came on stage and said that the list of shows coming up and audition information was by the door. I turned to my mom and told her that it was my chance!! She went to Ms. Sara's office and told her about my speach and how I am deaf in one ear, she turned to my mom and said, "We have a place for her." And I was put into my first show... I would talk and nobody could understand what I was saying, my director at the time the amazing Ms. Megan turned to me and touched me on the nose and said, "I know exactly what you are saying." And that was the turning point. It changed everything... I started working hard to get my voice normal, I did 5 years of speach and now you can't even tell that I had a speach problem, it turns out all that I needed was someone to believe in me. That's what PCT has done for me through the years and continues to do now. PCT is like a home, people I love are there, I am comfortable there, I feel safe there. I have made life-long friendships with the most amazing people I have ever met through PCT. I get unconditional love from every last one of them. It doesn't matter to me if I'm not the lead in every show, or if I even talk. Just being there is the funnest part. And in every show every character is given it's chance to shine, every kid gets their moment. It's amazing. It has helped me get through the hard times in my life and was the foundation for the good times. I will never forget PCT for as long as i live. It has been so many things for me, I can't name them all but above all it's been a place I can go to have fun and learn and where people believe in me more than any other place I have ever been. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

I didn't say all of that, but I answered the questions they gave me and answered pretty much like that.

I love PCT so much, there's no place like home.

(i know cheesey! but take it, its my one sentimental moment of the year...)
