Musicals are one of America’s greatest past times. I absolutely adore getting all dressed up and going to the theatre. The lights, costumes, and scenery are thrilling. Ever since I was a little girl, I have fantasized of being in a Broadway production. Singing, acting, dancing, and being on the stage are my passions. This past March, one of my lifelong dreams was fulfilled. My high school concert choir took a trip to the big apple, and I am not talking about fruit. I am referring to the city of lights and Broadway, the great New York City. I got to spend five days surrounded by billboards and lights with about fifty of my good friends. It was an experience that changed my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. As I walked along Times Square it was just like being in a movie. It was as if I had left reality and entered some alternate universe called Broadway. It was a magical place with lions, flying nannies, and a blonde girl aspiring to be a lawyer and win back the heart of her love. “Legally Blonde: The Musical” is one of my newest Broadway obsessions. I nearly screamed with excitement when I saw the billboard for it in NYC. The music in it has really had an impact on my life. This song in this video “So Much Better” is my motto. I was recently very ill and ended up in the hospital, and was not doing very well for quite some time. However, know that I am fully recovered these lyrics ring in my ears. Now that I am back I am extremely motivated and nothing is going to stop me. I feel “so much better than before, “and I am determined to not let anything stand in my way.

This is a very inspirational story! I, myself have never been to New York City. It is towards the top of my "To Visit" list, though.
I've been to Portland, Seattle, Denver, LA, Salem, Boise, Chicago, and Memphis, just to name a few, but I don't think any of them can even come close to comparing to New York.
On another track, I also can't compare to taking a trip to the Hospital for myself. I was there with a friend a few times last semester, but never for myself. In fact, I have never been seriously ill. The closest I can come to is having the flu last week. My first time ever with the flu! I hope nothing comes of this!
Thanks Katelyn!
