I am somebody special

Finding yourself

I am somebody special

The last six months I have gotten out of my comfort zone. I have moved from Arkansas to Michigan to finally Illinois. I decided on Illinois because I am an inspiring entertainer who does what I like and likes what I do when I do get a chance to act. I am a struggling artist and I will accomplish everything I want in life. I have bills to pay so I cant just wait around for casting calls so I do have part time jobs. It has been hard for me to adjust to changes that I have made but I hope it will all be worth it in the end. I enjoy entertaining people and seeing happiness on their face. I have auditioned to be a model and walking down a runway is an experience I will not forget even if it is only auditioning. It is a rush for me and I never thought I would model but absolutely love it. In order to make your dreams come true you must get out of your comfort zone. It has been hard for me to realize I am good enough to be in the entertainment industry. My daughter is one of my biggest fans and I love the fact she supports me so much. Both of my kids are grown and now I feel as if it is my turn to live my second half of my life the way I dreamed. Entertaining is a hard job not a 9-5 job but I do love every minute of it when I get a chance. I hope within a year I have my own place and a steady acting job such as tv series or a movie. There is no business like Show business. Most of my life I have felt I am not good enough or Im not pretty enough, Well.. guess What! I am good enough to accomplish anything I want. I want to be able to help my kids when they need financial help, right now I am barely surviving but I will make it to the top of my game. I am just beginning my career.

I am more than blessed to have the family and friends support I have. I may not have been the best mom or spouse at times but I do love my family. I wouldn't know what to do without any of them I am living with a friend I met 9 years ago and never thought she would be the one to open her door to me. She has been more than a blessing to me and such a wonderful friend to me.

To all the girls and boys who think they aren't good enough to follow your dreams give it time and hard work you can accomplish anything. All you need is a little support from one person and believe in yourself. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!! Do not let anyone tell you any different. I have taken my criticism and turned it into positive thinking. The more people who told me I wasn't going to make as an actor the more I have pushed myself even more. I am a struggling artist right now but in a few years or less I will be name you wont forget.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
