The Road to a new Me

As many know, I am a lover of all art forms. What some may not know is I have recently decided to put my heart on the line as well as any and all spare cash that doesn't get used on the needs of myself and my child. To do what you may ask well it is the hope I will be going back to school. Yes, now near 30 years old it seems I will be going back to school for another thing I love. Acting in all its glory is an art form I love. Will it be easy not at all. As I will have to fund this endeavor myself I will have to earn what it costs for each semester.

What school you may ask am I planning to do this with. New York Film Academy Los Angeles. One of the best schools I could find. Also one of the few that offers some only courses I can take before going full monty. Both learning online as well as eventually hands on I hope to start a career I will love. Not only for myself but for my daughter. I try my best to uphold a promise I made to her.

The promise I made was to go after what I wanted and not let anyone who says I can't do it get to me. It is finally time I make good on that promise in more ways than one. Hopefully with the new things I am working on making I will be able to fully fund this endeavor without the need to go into any more debt. I love my child and all she has taught me in her years in this life. Now it is time for me to teach her one very important lesson in life. You can do anything you put your mind to as long as you put the effort into achieving it.

Why now instead of when I was 20? Well Life doesn't always go as you want it to. I have had many things keep me from doing things I want to do. But I did get my first degree even though I can not use it sadly. I did enjoy learning during the first degree even if by the end of it life had other plans for me. One of them is raising my daughter on my own while doing the degree. Another is my health was not as known as it could be. It's still not but I can no longer allow that to hold me back from what I want to do.

I know I will have my friends and family behind me during this supporting me and cheering me on to do my best. None more so than my own daughter. Who accepts me for who I am and all the things I want to do in life. No matter where this road leads me I know I will have both learnt a lesson and taught one.

And no matter what I will always be thankful for the one actor who I look up to. Who’s own road was not as easy as he thought it would even if he started out from a different road than I find myself starting out from. May his life always have sunshine in it. Happiness and joy as well as love in his life. I look forward to the possibility that one day I may be able to look him in the eye and thank him for being himself truly. His ability to be true to himself leads me to believe that I can do the same and I am Grateful for that.

Always
