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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
