Student Blog: First Blog - Get to Know Me!
Hi everyone! My name is Samantha Tempkin, and I am so thrilled to be joining Broadway World’s student blogger team! Broadway World has long been my go-to source of theater-related news, so getting to join this community as a writer is amazing, but also a little bit nerve-wracking if I’m being honest! Although I love writing, it has been a while since I’ve written about my own experiences and thoughts on a platform such as this one. My hope is that I can use these blogs to connect with students like myself surrounding the highs and lows of getting an education or being involved in theater. Even though I definitely won’t have the answer for everything, it has always helped me to know that there are other people having the same experiences as me, especially in a community like show business that can sometimes be difficult to navigate. That being said, I hope I can be that person for you and that you enjoy these blogs!
