Why I love this and why it is important in my life
This is important in my life because it shows me that no matter
what anyone thinks of what I do or how I portray my self if I think
I did a great job then I did.
Acting isnt about getting on stage and acting like someone else it
is about how you think that character might act and how you show
their personality.
I love it because no matter how silly, goofy, or strange I act,
everyone takes it as me being me and learning how to be silly by
acting.
