Eulogy


Kirsten is known as a smart kid. She has decent grades, and she’s striving to get admitted into a selective college. She wants to eventually have a worthwhile job that she actually enjoys. She wants to do research in medicine to develop treatments and cures for sicknesses that don’t have any. Science and medicine are interesting to her, so having a career in that field would be perfect her.
In the present time, Kirsten not only takes pride in her grades, but also in working on theater tech for the Young Company and her cooking and baking. She has been part of the Young Company since her freshman year, and she became a crew head her junior year. She’s part of the crew that designs and builds the sets for the plays.  She spends a great majority of her time in Company. It is time-consuming and stressful at times, but she loves seeing the final product come together. It’s really rewarding to finish the play on opening night because there’s a great sense of accomplishment. When she’s not in Company, Kirsten likes to cook and bake. It’s one of the few creative things that she’s good at. She participated in the culinary program at Gallery 37 over the summer, and that was another thing that Kirsten really enjoyed doing.
As a senior, Kirsten is mostly concerned with college apps. Besides that, she actually enjoys a majority of her classes. Some of her teachers have a lot of personality, which is much appreciated. She will be sad to be leaving Company once the school year is over because she has spent almost her whole high school career being involved in that extra curricular. She’ll also be sad to be leaving some of her good friends once college starts, but they all have to do it eventually. They’ll all be going on to pursue their goals and hopefully achieving them.

  1. I didn't know that you want to do medical research! Sounds like we could be lab partners in the future! :) My only suggestions are that when you are talking about company it seems like some of the sentences are a little short. Also at the end you switch from talking about yourself to talking about people in general, which is fine, but the switch is kind of rough/awkward. Just some suggestions :)

  2. Thanks Mary :) Also, I feel kind of awkward when I'm talking about myself, so that explains the switch right there. It feels weird to write a whole entry on myself, you know? But thank you for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

  3. I didn't know you did Gallery this summer. I thought it was interesting to learn about why you enjoy company and why you find it rewarding in the end to see the final project.

  4. I didn't know there was a culinary program at Gallery 37, I know what I'm doing this summer maybe. It was short, simple, and honest and I really felt like I knew this person. It was a little awkward I have to agree with Mary but other than that, really well written.
