Acting is a profession known for having low pay and employment, but ever since he stepped on stage in his junior year performance, he knew he must continue down this road (94).

Why can’t I do certain things better?” began creeping into his mind (95). Through his introspection, he realized he did not need to perfect every portion of a performance. Through collaboration, Ricardo was able to achieve his other aspirations and reconcile with the fact he would not perfect every aspect of a performance, but would excel in the parts where he…

There are a myriad of ways that we can form our identity. Identity reflects who we are, how we learn, grow and develop. Parenting styles, culture, and growth from one stage into another stage are some of the factors that affect our identity and makes us different from others. The primary goal of psychology is to describe, explain, predict, and control those fields which become a part of our identity. As we learn, identity includes sets of characteristics that describe different facets of each individual, such as our reactions, our behaviors, our feelings and our thoughts.

When on stage or simply performing in front on an audience, I feel a great sensation that allows me to feel free and express myself both in body and in mind.

A person’s identity can be affected by many things: where he/she was born, the person’s parents, friends and other things. Through my life experiences I have become creative, spirited, and inquisitive.…
I know now the difference between the stage and the screen performance. I mean that when performers are on stage, they use all the space that they are given, but when they are acting in front of camera, they do have the lines, that they should not cross, because if they do that, they will leave the frame and be out of shot.
