So I pretty much go to the best school ever. Where the students have freedom to be who they want to be without pressure to be someone else. Where they can express themselves. This place is located at the center of the arts district in Dallas, TX which is called Booker T. Washington School of the Performing and Visual Arts. This week sums up the first six weeks of the school year as a Booker T. student. Life is pretty crazy if your hanging out with Glenn Close, the Blue Man Group and soon to be Stephen Sondheim? With most of this insanity, most teachers are good about not letting the craziness get to our heads. Though we are extremely fortunate about being in a unique and artistic environment, we are just the normal and fun-loving students that anyone would find at any other school with a more hectic lifestyle of coarse. I find it amazing that most of us can keep up with schoolwork, friends, and our art practice with a few hours of sleep now and then. Because not only is this school known for the arts, but for the academics as well, with almost 100 % of students going to college.
Basically when you walk into the building you can almost taste the artistic and original ideas floating in the air.
With music, visual art, dance and theatre, who needs sports? :)
