Something I've struggled with for quite some time involving my department, I have finally been able to put into words. The program design for Performance Production seems more and more like a display for teachers to show what they have taught more than a program for teaching students new skills.

If you were to ask for a solid and truthful answer out of most successors (in any field), they would probably say that they often felt like they learned more from their mistakes. However, in my case I have felt like I never had the right to while studying at Cornish. The production assignments always go to the students that have already proven that they can do it, taking away the opportunity from those who wish to practice and really learn something new. There's something wrong with that. It paints a picture that the teaching staff are too worried about their own reputation among the Cornish faculty as it may appear to the arts community, and if any student cannot live up to that without hands-on practice, than they (the student) will fail what they focus on.

I have come to the conclusion that not graduating from Cornish may actually be my calling, for I wish to make huge success after I leave such as the other students like Brandon Frasier, and Nancy Wilson; who both either dropped out or barely made it to graduation. Same story for those outside of Cornish, such as Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, and George Washington.

In my own case, as it stands as of now, I just want to graduate, move on, and put Cornish behind me. I would like to utilize every bit of what I have learned at this school, only not to give the bourgeoisie status to those particular teachers. That's all.
