Summary

This career is still appealing to me, and has made me consider taking education and theatre classes in college. I would love to be able to teach others better acting skills. It goes along with my personality test results in many ways. One way is that I am an Extroversion, which means I like to be loud and center of attention. I am also a feelings based person which makes acting easy because it is easy to put so many different varieties of emotion into acting this way. I think this career would be interesting to have in the future. Especially, since I love being an actress myself.
