    I have been planning to take a course to something familiar with theatre, and this has helped me identify what requirements are needed for me to meet the expectation of an actress. Acting is not exactly what I am planning to do in the future but it is related to thta, I am hoping that I encounter more educational platforms like this one. Well done!
