I'm a big fan of the two documentary/reality shows on MTV - Made and True Life. Made is a show that takes an average high school kid with a big dream to become something way outside the norm for them - a football player who wants to be an ice skater, a prep who wants to be a BMXer, broadway singer, dancer, etc. They pair them up with a coach who is typically a pro in that area, and walks with them towards their goal. It's a great show that lets you see the kids transform not just in their ability, but their perceptions of the world, and others perceptions of them. By the end of the show you want to see them succeed so badly, it's fun to watch. Anyways, it turns out that MTV is coming to our local high school on Tuesday, here in big 'ol South Lyon, to conduct auditions to cast someone for an upcoming episode of Made.
