I myself was always wondering what is the plan for my life, what is my calling. Till one day. I was in Grade 3 playing with my friends and making jokes as I was always the clown in our little group, the teacher came to me and said that i'm such a Drama Queen, and at that moment I was so offended... It hurt me, because I couldn't understand why someone would say to a 9 year old girl that she is a Drama Queen. My parents were mad and it bugged me. But when i came to high school, I didn't know which subjects I wanted, so I thought that picking Dramatic Arts would give me more perspective on what Drama actually is. The first two years weren't as I had hoped, but I kept going with it. When I became 16 I was in Grade 10, and it felt like the Drama class was given a whole new purpose. It felt like I belonged there, on the stage. It felt like everything I wanted came to me in a instant, and for the first time from that day in Daycare, I had realized that maybe the teacher saw something in me. That is what made me the person I am now. I have grown in so many ways. I thank that teacher today.
I have received so many help from people to hone my skills. I love being an actress and to sing, yes I sing too. I have played extras in multiple movies, but that is all the experience I have in the movie industry. I am a fighter and I will do anything to chase my dream.
Thank you
