About Me:
Ever since I was born I was raised with the mindset of if you try your hardest, dreams come true. Firm believer ever since. My name is Monica Hunt and I'm from a little small town called Lacon, Illinois! I just turned eighteen years old and am about to graduate from high school. Throughout my years in high school, I was obsessed with being on stage and making people happy with being in a production. I was in many productions of our school, Midland High School. Last year, I received the lead role as the Madrigal Jester in our Madrigal and just this March, I played the Cowardly Lion in our school's "The Wiz" production. Singing is an amazing passion of mine. I have been singing ever since I can remember. My mother has video tapes of me singing my heart out to Disney soundtracks and even a "Monica Hunt Presents: The Lion King. A One Woman Show"! I have always been comfortable with an audience and love to put on shows and productions that will be cherished!

Instead of taking senior year at the high school, I decided to become a full time college student and get credit hours, while still being in high school. Doing this, was a hard step, but proves that I can handle new situations and responsibilities! While being at the college, I discovered my major, performing arts. I have taken theatre while being in college and art classes. Also while being in college, I received the honor to volunteer time to Make-A-Wish. Such an amazing oppurtunity.

I love to make others happy as well. Last summer, I decided to try to make a whole new audience happy. I worked at a Nursing Home in Lacon. I started off just as a secretary, but it turned into so much more. I bonded with so many of the wonderful residents and felt as if that I was part of their family. A whole new social skill developed when I worked there. I loved working with the activities, listening to their stories, cracking jokes to them, and just spending time with them. Working there was such an honor.

I have "Wished Upon a Star" for years for this opportunity and I am so excited for to be in your presence! Performing arts is what my heart desires, and I would love to be "Part of Your World"!
