I feel that volunteering is not enough for me. Auditioning is great for plays
and you do it until you get the right part. I like acting in plays like the
bedroom scene. You have to try really hard to do the best job in auditions because
if they see you screwing up in your performance, they won’t acknowledge
you. They will kick you out. Most directors are not nice. Like for instance,
directors see you come in and they only give you a minute and then they make
noises and interrupt. All you can say is within your character, "Look you’re
making noises. You are not looking at me. You are making me nervous."
If
the director’s talking back to you and he says, "You are out of character"
,
you can say, "I am not out of character. I am in character."
If they
won’t accept that, you just walk out. That’s the best thing you
can do. You just stand there and you think that I just have a disability.
I have the same struggles with acting that I had with my mom. It was really hard to do that because they didn't accept me for who I am. They just accepted my disability. I walked out. I was hurt. What would happen if they were me? What would they do if they had a disability?
I feel that people look at my disability, rather than looking at me. That is wrong. They should respect other people and their opinions. Opinions mean whatever you think about a subject.
I want to keep on doing cooking classes at the YMCA I want to learn to cook at George Brown College. I want to try that one at Frontier College.
I want to start watching myself and watch what I eat. I eat too many sweets. It’s like going to the movies. I buy popcorn and juice. I do not go crazy. My dad’s always making a big deal about going to the movies. I wish my dad didn’t make such a big deal.
