My Katy Keene Contest Entry

(I'm kinda sad that I didn't win the contest I made this little piece for, but I had fun taking time to reflect about my dream career. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed writing it.)


I have always been more on the artistic, musical side of things. Recently, I got into SIX the Musical and almost instantly fell in love with it. I've memorized like five of the songs from the production and I can quote five lines off the top of my head. My favorite queen is Katherine Howard and I would love to portray her on Broadway in Times Square, you know? I guess that's my wildest dream as of now.


My most unrealistic dream has always involves singing in some form. It took quite a bit of evolution to go from American Idol to wanting to portray Katherine Howard in SIX the Musical.


When I was nine, I wanted to be on American Idol I am become famous like Kelly Clarkson. That changed when the high quality judges quit and the show closed after a while. When Christina Aguilera was a judge on The Voice, my next big dream was to be on her team and become a big singer that way. That dream was quickly crushed when she was only there for one season and news company has reported that she wasn't coming back on the show. Another dream was to see Mean Girls the Musical or another musical with its original Broadway cast, but of course original Broadway casts are performing on tour for so long.


Now, this is where my interests in SIX the musical comes in. How all of my dreams involving music came to this investment in the story of Catherine Howard. Since I became into SIX, Aimie Atkinson became like my idol and I want to follow in her footsteps. Well, I would love to when I'm older. It's just the only thing is now the world revolves around STEM and math and engineering. But as much as I wanna be on Broadway and like, in the spotlight, it's a severely unrealistic career.


A lot of the things that I think are important desires in my heart and life are unrealistic. At least, I think so. That doesn't mean I can't still dream. I can still fan girl as much as I want, daydream, and that heartbreaking reality is honestly not the end of the world. I'm still happy with a lot of the things in my life; I have a great family, amazing parents, a hilarious sister in college that's going to her dream school and a fetch group of friends; some of them online and in the real world.


Therefore in the end, being Katherine Howard on Broadway would be nice. I know for a fact that I would enjoy singing and flexing that outfit for a live audience that would appreciate my talent but I would still be happy with everything that I have now. And I don't want to change a lot of it. I am still learning to love myself and overcome some struggles. Regardless I feel grateful for every blessing I have with me. πŸ’—πŸ’œ
