I don't want to be a doctor or a vet or some McDonald's burger flipper. I had something more interesting and fun in mind. Acting. I have been acting since I was about 10 in school plays and stuff, but I really just started the acting 'thing' when I was about 6 years old. I was super weird and I loved to be funny and just be different characters. It was never a dream of mine until I was in 6th grade in the play "Annie Jr." I was supposed to be an orphan (no specific orphan with a name so I would be called a supporting actor). It turned out that I was an orphan and the dog, Sandy. It was embarrassing, but I didn't care. It was a challenge I was willing to take. I challenged myself because I wasn't so sure how to exactly be a dog. I made my own costume and it was pretty cool and at the time my school that I was at was in Illinois and so it was super low key when it came to how we acted. No one came to the big performances that were like business people or like scouts. Here, we get people from colleges and all over. My junior year (this year) is dedicated to me getting into Off The Wall. It's a Theater class, but it's kind of like Varsity because it is advanced drama. I have taken Drama 1 which is like a class for Freshmen and Sophomores (fresh/soph). I have also taken Drama 2 which is like Junior Varsity for drama (JV).
I love acting and theater so much I don't know what I would do without it. I am starting to pursue my acting career outside of school soon. I will be in movies and not to mention I already have IMDB credit for being part of a crew for a short film (it is usually just called a "short" in the media world). It was a blast to work on it and I can't wait to work on so many more including movies. I'm so excited to get to have this chance in life. I couldn't have done it without the help of my teachers at my high school. No one in middle school or anywhere else has really helped me. I have learned a minority by myself and a majority from the classes I have taken through out my school years. I will hopefully be taken acting classes with this acting career in progress. All actors and actresses take classes just for the experience to put on their resume. Can't wait to go to Burbank, CA to get registered with an acting company and get my own agent and manager and everything!! So exciting and I could only ask for good luck from my friends and family who support me. The reality of my story with acting the past 2 years is that my parents weren't gonna support me in acting because they don't believe in anything I do unless it's soccer or school. Although, it was school related cause I was taking a class on drama, I was trying to find my path in life and I found it (it kind of found me when I was too young to realize it). My parents are supporting me now because of the money and that I would 'know' people. I'm just trying to make people laugh, cry, or have some kind of emotion through the movies I'm in. I've always wanted to be a dramatic actress. I'm good at fake crying and I can make up a dramatic monologue in 2 seconds because of how much my family and cousins and everyone has been through.
I can't thank the people who have supported me from the beginning enough. My friends. They have believed in me from the start and have come to a majority of the performances I have been in. I wouldn't be where I am i it wasn't for them. We click because all my friends that I mainly hang out with are a bunch of 'drama freaks' like me. That's what we're called by other people around school and just everywhere we look, we are the 'drama freaks'. We didn't like the name at first, but we stuck to it and I'm glad because I haven't been more happy with my little Drama Freaks before. As they move on to Off The Wall their junior years, I will be moving onto acting outside of school. If I get into a major motion picture and it is super popular, I will not even think about leaving Trabuco to go to a private school because of photographers or anything. Trabuco is where my friends are and I wouldn't leave them even if I was encouraged to. If anything, I'll have them pose in the pictures people take of me. I want my friends along for the ride because they help me with the little things that I do wrong or that I might mess up. I can handle my school work and acting all at the same time. It's not the first time I've done it. Thank you to my friends who support me everyday. I love you all. <3
