This is absolutely amazing!! Was this a school project or just a hobby! Masterfully done either way!! I recently uploaded the "o what a noble mind..." monologue and was searching around for other renditions, but this was better!! Love it! <3

I came across this video as I was googling about Ophelia's monologues as I'm working on a dance choreography for a charity event. I found your piece amazing. The project is a modern adaptation of Hamlet, where the central character is Ophelia, and I wonder if you might be willing to share your poetry to use on Ophelia's suicide scene (instead of music).

Please let me know if you'd be interested, and I'll tell you more about the project.

Thank you!

where would you insert this in the play? act, scene, line?

At least you only have to teach history and not some other subject that you would hate to teach. Just be fun and engaging, but still strict at the same time. You will rock the classroom.

it scares me because ill teach 7-12th grade history. im glad you have faith ill succeed, im still skeptical

[fidelis1400]

Why would teaching scare you? It's a good challenge for you to step up and take control of certain situations. You survived Hillsdale, you can survive teaching. I have faith that you will succeed.

Im sorry, i dont want to make your life miserable, ill try to stop being so emotional, but its hard for me. and teaching scares me, fyi

[fidelis1400]

I knew that it was going to be hard for you and I think about you everyday. You are just making my life more difficult by making comments like this, but I guess I just deserve it. At least you have a job to look forward to. That's exciting!

im not trying to accomplish anything. Im sorry that i still miss you and that i still love you. im trying my best, but some days i just break down.
