Most days, I woke up early enough, so that I
could work out before class and be
energized for the rest of my day. On days I
didn’t, I either found time during the rest of
the day to work out or made sure I got up
on time the next day to work out.

constantly having to be vulnerable and put
myself under the scrutiny of others based
off the sound of my voice, the way I stand,
how I use my arms. All that emotional

my day by working out and taking a quick
shower, I will always be fresh and energized
by the time I have a meeting, rehearsal, or
audition. Not only will I be helping myself in
the long run by exercising, but every day I
will look and feel really great whenever I
walk into a room because I know I look at
least a little bit better than I did yesterday.
