Drama Club has done for me what
a psychologist cannot do.
Drama Club has taken away all the stress that I had.
As an immigrant communicating with others,
Drama Club has helped me to improve my English and learn about other cultures.
Drama Club is the best experience I have ever had in my whole life.
