Making Connections And Acting

Well, I always loved to preform. And my dream, event though it probably WON'T come true, is to do some stuff on camera. And being the daughter of two teachers, we couldn't afford formal training (even though my little sister gets to do soccer, gymnastics and who knows what else but it probably costs more than what i want to do lol.) so it was tough for me to get an agent.

When It Comes To Work, Do Not Defy The Boss!

We have a shortage of time and manpower..."Without fail, his superior will get angry and impatient even before he finishes speaking, "If there are problems, get them solved! Whatever it is, get it done by next Monday!"My colleage would accept the task grimly, but
