Throughout my schooling years, I have always been involved with acting or public speaking. I tend to shy away from debate, mainly because I am not a team player. I take pride in achieving glory / fame based on my own feats. At least I am honest about it.
When I was first posted to a school, it would but only be natural for me to be in a CCA which had inclinations to either public speaking or drama. Unfortunately, the school did not have either. So I was tasked to start up my own CCA - English Speech and Drama.
Fast forward a couple of years. I have a relatively strong membership of 15. What pains me is that I cannot do much with my CCA as I have neither the necessary nor sufficient support needed to sustain the CCA and allow it to prosper. I run the show. I audition the boys. I write the script. I conduct the rehearsals. It's all me. It's exhausting but it's what I do best. It's almost effortless for me as it's all second nature and I know exactly what I need to put up a good performance.
I know that the time has come for it to be closed down. The school's direction is geared towards the niche areas and the boys have to be in a real CCA before they can join mine. The dates clash obviously and I am losing my members. It pains me but it is inevitable.
My boys were brilliant today. I was tough on them, even by my standards but they were fantastic on stage :)
Love what you do and do what you love.
