The food was delicious, and the people were kind and friendly, but the main thing I took away from this trip was what I gained from seeing the theatre. Not so much the simple joy and happiness from simply seeing a show, but something a bit more exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I was inspired by every show I saw over in London. As a student actor, there are plenty of rough times, and it&#8217;s easy to get disheartened. But every little doubt I had about my career was washed away the second the current rose for our very first show. The actors were on a completely new level, bringing me both tears of joy and sadness. They weren&#8217;t flawless by any means, but they were astounding. As the current fell, I felt a raging fire in my chest. While I did enjoy my stay in London, I now had an urge to return home. I wanted to start working again, improving and turning myself into a better actor. These professionals were like deity&#8217;s to me, and I wanted to be on their level more than anything.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I left London with many things; New memories, new pictures, new friends, and a new incentive to continue acting. And I wouldn&#8217;t trade these things for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s pretty hard for me to pinpoint a single thing about the London trip that I loved the most.
