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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
