I had been depressed and at a very low point in my life. I had gotten so low that suicide seemed like the only option. I got myself prepared and went about ending my life. Luckily I was unsuccessful in my attempt. The very next day I glanced at the paper and the first thing my eyes see is an ad for Stage 212 holding auditions for a show called Moon Over Buffalo. I had never really noticed ads like this before so it seemed...poignant that it was the first thing to catch my gaze. I am still not entirely sure why I decided to, but I went to the auditions. I landed a part and my life was changed forever. I met some really fantastic people who grew into wonderful friends and got to experience a feeling I had never known before. That was the perfect introduction to live theater. My part called for me to dress up like General Patton, fire a gun, get tied up, and do some wonderful physical comedy. I was hooked from then on out. In a short matter of time I went from newbie to directing my own show and even serving for a time on the board. Without 212 I can honestly say I would not be alive today.

What actually is sea for you? As far as it goes for me I think it is the symbol of life. Also as per the ukessay writers service’s thoughts it is the mark of continuous struggle which can prove to be an inspiration for us and can raise our spirit.
And you were great doing the sound effects for It's a Wonderful Life.
