I've wanted to be an actress for as long as I remember. I used to sit in front of the television (on the floor 3 feet from the screen, of course) dreaming about being on Sesame Street or Romper Room. Memorizing entire movies from beginning to end by watching them over and over was a specialty--so was dancing around the room like Sandy from "Grease."
As I got into high school, plays became my passion. The feeling of becoming another character and feeling their emotions brought me to a new stage in my passion for acting. Now, it wasn't about being on television or in the movies, it was about fine tuning my ability to transform into another person-- a game played with my own mind to see how focused I could be.
Now, at 22 years old, I have decided to flow where the water takes me. I have been waiting tables for 4 years and am anxious to move toward a "real job." Because of this, and the instability of the entertainment industry, I decided to major in Education rather than Theatre. Another factor that comes into play here is that I do not wish to be involved in the theatre. I feel my ability to show emotion in facial expressions is much better than my ability to blow emotions up into body language. Basically, I like to keep it as real as possible, and the place to show this talent is in the industry of Flim and Television.
