800 Words of Wisdom From Kermit
So Kermit the Frog has to write a 800 word essay. Maybe he has to write an essay for a high school assignment. Perhaps he has to write it for a college entrance application. Or possibly just because he feels like it because frogs like to write sometimes. What would that 800 word essay look like? Below is a 800 word essay example from Kermit.
Finding My Voice: A Journey of Self-Discovery
As I sit on my lily pad, reflecting on my journey, it’s incredible to think about how far I’ve come. From a small, unassuming pond to the stages of Hollywood, my life has been an adventure filled with challenges, triumphs, and self-discovery. I, Kermit the Frog, never imagined that a simple frog like me could make such a big splash in the world.
Growing up in the swamp, life was simple. My days were spent hopping from one lily pad to another, singing songs to the rhythm of the croaking chorus around me. Music was my first love. Singing along with my banjo was a way to express the joy and beauty of the world I saw. It was peaceful and cathartic to strum away with nothing but the ambiance of the swamp. No one criticized my performances. No one demanded more of me. However, despite my contentment, there was a part of me that yearned for something more—an adventure beyond the murky waters.
My big break came unexpectedly when a talent scout from Hollywood visited our swamp. He was looking for fresh, new talent for a show that promised to be different from anything the world had seen: The Muppet Show. This show would feature singing, dancing, skits, and backstage access. Talented critters and creatures from all over the world would be joining the cast. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, I auditioned. To my astonishment, they loved my performance and offered me a role that would change my life forever. My simple songs seemed to resonate with frogs (and other critters) beyond my neighborhood. I wasn’t just offered a spot on the Muppet Show. They wanted me to lead the entire production.
Moving to the big city was overwhelming. The bright lights, the constant noise, and the fast-paced life were a far cry from the serene swamp I called home. I often felt like a fish out of water—or rather, a frog out of the pond. The peaceful chorus of frog croaks was replaced by car horns, sirens, and the constant buzz of people on the street. I was afraid. However, I was also determined to make the most of this opportunity. The support of my fellow Muppets helped me navigate this new world. We became a family. Each of us brought our unique talents to the table, creating magic together. And we bonded through the many hours of rehearsals and stressful performances.
One of the most significant challenges I faced was finding my voice. In the swamp, my songs were a private joy, shared only with the other creatures. On stage, I had to learn how to captivate an audience, and to convey emotions through my performances. It was daunting, but it was also exhilarating. With every show, I grew more confident, discovering that my voice had the power to connect with people and make them feel something special. My natural singing voice and simple lyrics connected with people who needed a break from busy city life. And my steady presence helped other Muppets find grounding in their own chaotic experiences.
But it was not all glitz and glamour. I experienced many moments of doubt and insecurity. The pressures of fame sometimes felt overwhelming. I am typically a very calm frog. Back in the swamp, not much could rattle me. But the stress of a weekly network TV show sometimes made me wave my skinny frog arms in the air and give a primal frog scream. However, through it all, I held onto the values I learned in my home swamp—kindness, perseverance, and authenticity. I realized that being true to myself was the key to my success.
Being myself also allowed me to find the love of my life. Miss Piggy. That beautiful pig was ALL glitz and glamour! And I was simple and unassuming. But that’s just what Piggy loved about me. I was the Ying to her Yang. A relationship with a jet-setting, fashionista pig is not easy. We’ve had our ups and downs. We were “on again”, “off again” for years. But something keeps bringing us back together. I couldn’t envision living without her. I will always be her “Kermie”.
Looking back, I am grateful for every experience, every challenge, and every triumph. The Muppet Show has grown into an entire Muppet Empire. We are recognized around the globe. From the quiet swamps to the bustling cities, my journey has taught me that dreams can come true. It’s not always easy being green, but being green is worth it. I have found my place in the world, my voice, and my purpose. And as I gaze at the stars reflecting on the water, I know that there are still many adventures ahead, and I’m ready to embrace them, one hop at a time.
