DASAITES Of The Week – Adekoya Gbemisola

Life In Dramatic Arts

Stage Voice: Hi, good evening! Welcome to Stage Voice. Can you please introduce yourself?

Gbemisola: Hello! I’m Adekoya Gbemisola. I’m an artist, a model, and currently the Assistant Class Rep of the Part 2 Dramatic Arts students.

Stage Voice: Nice to meet you, Gbemisola!

Gbemisola: Thank you!

Stage Voice: So, tell us about your journey as a Dramatic Arts student. What has the experience been like?

Gbemisola: Hmm, it’s been quite a ride! Part 1 was tough—I struggled a lot to adjust and had moments where I felt completely overwhelmed. But now, I’m finding my rhythm and thriving. It’s been a beautiful learning experience, and I’ve grown so much.

Stage Voice: That’s impressive. Growth like that takes strength.

Gbemisola: Thank you, I appreciate that.

Stage Voice: How have you managed to juggle being the Assistant Class Rep with your rehearsals and classes?

Gbemisola: Honestly, it’s all about teamwork. Adefisan Lucas, the Class Rep, has been super supportive, and we collaborate well. Plus, I prioritize time management—it helps me stay on top of things without compromising on rehearsals or academics.

Stage Voice: That’s inspiring. Time management is no joke!

Gbemisola: Absolutely!

Entrepreneurial Spirit 

Stage Voice: Do you run any businesses alongside your studies?

Gbemisola: Apart from modeling? Not yet, but who knows what the future holds?

Stage Voice: True that! So, what’s your experience been like as a model?

Gbemisola: Oh, it’s been amazing! Modeling is my escape. It’s not just about the pay—I genuinely love it. It gives me a sense of freedom and helps me unwind from all the stress.

Stage Voice: That sounds fulfilling. But how do you balance modeling with schoolwork?

Gbemisola: Planning is key. I schedule shoots when I’m absolutely free, so I don’t miss out on anything important in school. It’s all about finding that balance.

Stage Voice: You make it sound so effortless! I need to learn from you.

Gbemisola: Haha, thank you! Maybe I should start a class on time management?

Stage Voice: Sign me up already!

Gbemisola: Noted!

Personal Life 

Stage Voice: So, here’s a fun question—are you in a relationship?

Gbemisola: Ah, no o! Right now, I’m just focused on “character development.” Life keeps throwing lessons my way!

Stage Voice: Haha! What kind of character development?

Gbemisola: Let’s just say it’s turning me into a villain. But on a serious note, I’ve had my share of heartbreaks, and I think I need time to heal. Maybe a year or so.

Stage Voice: Wow. Healing is important. I hope you find peace soon.

Gbemisola: Thank you. Same to anyone else going through tough times.

Advice To Other Students

Stage Voice: That’s very thoughtful. Do you have any advice for other students?

Gbemisola: Definitely—don’t be too hard on yourself. Everyone has their own pace, so focus on yours. Don’t let anyone push you beyond your limits.

Stage Voice: That’s solid advice. Thank you so much, Gbemisola, for sharing your story.

Gbemisola: Thank you for having me! It’s been a pleasure.

embrace growth, balance your passions with discipline, and prioritize self-care. Remember, everyone has their own pace, so focus on yours and never let challenges dim your light. Start your journey of character development today—plan, grow, and thrive!”
