It was such a challenge to have to design for a play that would be performed live via Zoom.<\/p>\n<p>I found ways to be creative and sustainable through my designs. Adding fun elements of camp and fantasy that aided with the scripts clever writing.

Yet, for the resources that I had, I am proud of how it all turned out.<\/p>\n<p>RECOGNITION: Hard work really does pay off. Even when I felt I was not doing the most or making any notable achievements, I had the greatest honor of being recognized for my efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly with the Communication department I received the Arthur R. Maytum Scholarship which was awarded to outstanding returning Communication students demonstrating academic excellence.<\/p>\n<p>I won the Reconstructing Narratives Photo competition which I have previously spoken about a few blogs ago.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the Performing Arts Company, I was nominated for PAC Awards voted by the students of the department for Best Costume Design and I won! I did not even know those were a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Then I recently discovered that I received the Laurel Walford Costume Scholarship for my efforts within the Theatre Department and in the costume shop.<\/p>\n<p>As I said in part one, I was honored with Resident Assistant of the month and Community Building Program of the month too!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-259 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?resize=240%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?resize=820%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 820w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?resize=768%2C959&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?resize=1229%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1229w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fredstories.com\/memoirsgaysha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7AEDB8A3-4B3E-4040-AE1C-49BC1CB7A0A8.jpg?w=1440&amp;ssl=1 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now I feel like I have said what I wanted to say.
