I Want to Be An Actress

I just had a semi-fight with my mom. She was talking about my future. How I will live with them forever unless I do not get a new career where I can support myself. My parents do not believe that I will make it into acting. That it's a pipe dream that will never come true and to have something to fall back on. But I don't want to do that. You only live once and whatever job I do I need to enjoy it. I don't mind if I have to work whatever jobs until I get a part. Whether I need to do even two or three jobs. As long as I like them. I am just scared that my dream will never come true. It would be so easy for me if my parents believed in me. I don't want them to be right. I want to be happy and I know I won't in any other career.

Have you taking any acting classes

Yes. The problem taking them now is that there aren't any good ones in my area. At least not for adults. It would be quite a drive but once I get my own car I plan on it.

@JewStar4Life: Have you thought about colleges. Some do have good programs. Once you get a car. that would be a good plan

@bhatjc: I already graduated from college. They didn't have a good theatre program. They taught you how to act for an A but not for real life.

@JewStar4Life: Sorry to hear that. Their must be other schools around that have better programs.
