Student Blog: Letting Go of Doubt In Order to Succeed Photo Student Blog: Letting Go of Doubt In Order to Succeed
by Student Blogger: Erin Maguire - December 01, 2024

At the start of my freshman year, I didn’t get involved in any clubs or organizations, even though I had always been involved in several extracurricular activities at a time since elementary school and Temple has plenty of music and theater performance clubs. At the time, I was feeling insecure about my theater abilities and I was worried I would not get into any if I auditioned, so I just did not audition at all.
