How University Coursemates Tried to Embarrass Me - Richard Mofe-Damijo
The way a person's life completely changes when they become popular is something that is very fascinating to me.

Hollywood’s fastest rising star Actor & Director Romario Facey
What’s your name and where are you from? Also tell us a little about your background? My name is Ramario Facey. I was born in Linstead, a small town in St. Catherine, Jamaica. I have always wanted to be an actor, but where I grew up acting was considered an impossible task. At twelve years old, all my of cousins would say that they wanted to be soldiers or police officers, however when when my mother asked what I wanted to be I told her that I wanted to be an actor, and not just any actor but a Hollywood star and she got very upset because she was like, “You live in Jamaica, we live in a small country part of Jamaica to be exact.” So she thought it was an unrealistic dream and to her it seemed as though I was just trying to be an idler and using this as an excuse to waste time. She got really upset about it and I just couldn't let it go because something inside of me knew that that's what I wanted to do and that's what I was going to do because it was my passion.

Is it merely a concept that can be applied to all arts? Or is it merely a set of principles that can be used by any one physically, no matter what their chosen style is? Rather than speculate, let’s go directly to the source: the students of Bruce Lee himself!
