When I first started my Screenwriting Program in September,
we were told on numerous occasions that grades are not everything.
That it is a creative program and at the end of the day,
our grades won’t neccesarily get us…
a job in the writers room,
our Interactive media created,
our Pilots green lit
or
our Feature Films optioned.
We're not judged on our ability to memorize for an exam
but more of our comprehension of a structure
the way we utilize and create with it.
No amount of cramming will allow you to attain the task
with this kind of work.
All of my grades are in for Term Two…
And I must say
Making the grade is a celebration!
It means that I am connecting to the structure
That I’m writing with professionalism
That My words are filled with purpose
And that it translates through the script
And that it is understood by others
To me it means that
MY creativity is lighting it’s own way
Grades don’t mean everything
But they do mean something
And to me it’s another reaffirming sign
Of being on the right path
There's a little light, shining a little brighter within me tonight.
