What I wanted to be has changed quite often as I got older. Around eight to ten years old, I wanted to be a singer and a dancer as well as a model. I wanted to become all three of those things. But, as I grew older, I found something else that interested me more. Wrestling. I was so into wrestling and their art form I just had it in my mind to go full force into becoming one myself. Shawn Michaels was my biggest inspiration of all. I played about five of the wrestling games with him in each and every one of them, I watched him fight on Raw WWE wrestling quite often and even have pictures of him. I had even went out my way to go and see him in person at the Galleria Mall with my family member around March I believe the year of 2009 if I am not mistaken.
That inspired me so much. But, you grow and see and experience new things. I still love wrestling but I saw something else as I watched wrestling. They were not only wrestlers but actors as well. On top of that, I watch huge amounts of Johnny Depp movies. Upon reaching high school my freshmen year, my english teacher Avi had inspired me to do more acting. I got into Shakespeare and entered a monologue contest. I got into Theatre class my sophomore year and ever since then I'm trying my best to participate in acting class's and Theatre as much as possible because that's what I truly want for my future. To be an Actor.
I am currently in two different acting programs at the moment. Urban Arts Partnership which is incredibly amazing and Downtown Arts Company. I have learned so many new things when it comes to Theatre and I hope to attend a college that will give me even more knowledge of the Theatre process.
The reason why I want to be an actor is because it changes me as a person. It makes me feel more alive, jumping into different characters with different personalities. Dressing a certain way for a scene and performance. I enjoy doing those things. Acting helps me to relieve that stress inside me that I feel so often in my life. I love the transformation. Take Johnny Depp for instance, the movies and shows he has been in our entirely different. Some can be crazy, psychotic, depressing, comedy. He has played so many roles and so many different looks. I want to experience that with a passion! It's also a matter of bonding with someone else who shares your passion. Bonding with your fellow actors is so special to me. I have yet to find that one person who shares this same feeling of acting as I do.
