HOW IT ALL STARTED (FUN STORY)

AT THE CUTE AGE OF 2, MY MOTHER PUT ME IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT TO SEE IF I WAS COMFORTABLE BEING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE ON A STAGE. ONCE MY NAME WAS CALLED TO THE STAGE TO BE PRESENTED, I IMMEDIATELY LET GO OF MOM’S HAND AND WALKED WITH CONFIDENCE, SASS AND POISE TOWARDS THE JUDGES. THE CROWD, WITH ITS CLAPPING AND CHEERING, FROZE ME INTO MY SPOTLIGHT MOMENT; THUS KNOWING MY CAREER WAS GOING TO BE IN THE THEATRICAL BUSINESS. WHEN MY MOMENT WAS SADLY OVER, I THREW MYSELF DOWN ON THE STAGE AND PROCEEDED TO HAVE A TEMPER TANTRUM TO SHOW OFF MY VERSATILE TALENT OF BEING A 'DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE CHARACTER'. I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE A PLACE THAT MADE ME FEEL SO EXPRESSIVE AND ALIVE! (EVEN IF IT WAS FOR 10 SECONDS) THIS PERFORMANCE GAVE ME THE MOMENTOUS FEELING THAT THE STAGE WAS MY “NEW HOME AWAY FROM HOME”. NOT ONLY DID I CLEARLY PASS THE TEST IF I WAS MEANT FOR THE STAGE, BUT REGARDLESS OF MY 'FIRST PERFORMANCE' FIASCO, I CAME IN THIRD PLACE! (IT WAS THE CUTE BABY FACE BUT EVEN SO THE 'OSCAR AND TONY AWARD' WINNING PERFORMANCE FOR SURE)

The main factor in any form of creativeness is the life of a human spirit, that of the actor and his/[her] part, their joint feelings, & subconscious creation."
