Life As An FYB

Stage Voice: Nice to meet you, Marvelous.

Marvellous: Same here.

Stage Voice: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Marvellous: I’m a student of Dramatic Arts and also a fashion stylist.

Stage Voice: That’s great!

Stage Voice: So, we heard you’re into acting. What made you choose it?

Marvellous: I picked acting because I’ve always wanted to be on stage playing major roles, not just minor ones like before.

Stage Voice: So majoring in acting gives you that opportunity?

Marvellous: Exactly.

Stage Voice: Smart choice!

Stage Voice: As a final-year student, how do you feel?

Marvellous: I feel really good. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m grateful to God.

Stage Voice: All thanks to God. Some people say part 4 is the easiest. Do you agree, or does your experience prove otherwise?

Marvellous: That’s a big lie! They told us the same thing, but now reality has set in.

Stage Voice: Really? What keeps you so busy?

Marvellous: Intense rehearsals, my project, and classes.

Stage Voice: I also heard you do early morning training. If that’s true, what’s the purpose?

Marvellous: Yes, we do, and we actually enjoy it. The training helps with endurance, flexibility, and stretching our muscles.

Stage Voice: That’s amazing.

Marvellous: Yeah.

Stage Voice: Have you ever felt like giving up?

Entrepreneurial Spirit

Marvellous: I’m not interested.

Stage Voice: Fair enough!
