Life has gotten so crazy since I posted on here last! I finished out my year at Fieldcrest and to be honest I am so happy to be free of all the drama and "stuff". As i finished my freshman year in High School I was ready to give up singing and preforming forever! So I spent my summer working as a babysitter and a Counselor In Training at Camp Tippecanoe to try and find myself again, but i couldn't find myself there. I did learn A LOT though! Some was good some was bad, lost relationships with many of my old friends but made some amazing new ones! God was working in so many ways this summer! Well last night I found out someone I am very close to is moving back to her "Big city" where I can clearly see her heart is forever! I won't lie, when i got the message i did cry for quite awhile last night. I am so happy for her though that she is going back and will be happy!
So, I have been so blessed to have my director, teacher and dear friend Deb with me even though everything these past few months and all through 7th grade. You could see through all of her pictures from her trip to New York that she was truly at peace with herself!
I met Deb in 2008 at an acting class that my voice teacher recommended me for. What do I remember from that class? Deb asked us "when did the bug bite you?" I thought she was crazy so I gave so whacked up answer. Now i can tell you, that day was the day the bug bit me! I've been infected with the need to be on stage! Her and i bonded over this infection, and she has been there for me ever since. Even in my most dramatic moments there she is, waiting with open arms and ready to help with what ever she can. I am eternally grateful for that.
Two months ago she texted me and asked why i wasn't auditioning for her show and i came up with some silly excuse! Once we got into a deeper conversation she pulled me in, because i remembered how much i missed being on stage, and if anyone could help me it would be her. After my audition she told me I totally nailed the song and I finally felt it, everything I have been working for. Acceptance in the theater world, I did something right. High school theater is vicious, there's always someone better than me no matter what i do. Not here, not now! So now i am back in business as an actress currently in the show "An Old Fashioned Canton Christmas." as a lead family member that plays on November 12th at the Palace Theater!
So I'm growing up, slowly but surly as we all are. I just have to keep my head up and just keep believing and "Dare To Fail" as Deb says! I will miss you tons Deb, you may never know how much i appreciate you but have done so much for me! I will have an excuse to go to New York! You have made a difference in so many peoples lives! Love ya!
NEW YORK HERE I COME!
