I am going to be a Film Star

I am 17 years old. I am about to college to learn about how to become a biomedical engineer. My dream is to become a famous actor, director, and producer. At this point in my life deciding I want to be in film is a risky move. Everyone encourages me to seek my biomedical job, and they tell me that film isn't safe. They tell me how I would be living in a box on the side of the road, making no money. They tell me "it's a side hustle". Today I have decided I am going for what my dreams are. I wanted to write in this blog to hopefully inspire others to chase their dreams. I'm not successful with film yet, but I am ready to work for it because I want it so bad. I remember when I was younger and people would ask me what I wanted to do. I told them film and they would tell me to look into other careers, or they would look at me with disappointment and tell me to go for something better. Now when I tell people I'm majoring in biomedical engineering they tell me how sm

The day I thought I was going to die

I am not one to be scared of the dark or get jump scared. I'm a chill person who does not worry a lot, and when a situation does arrive I am more of the type to take action. However my perspective on my fight or flight was changed one day when I was cat-sitting for a friend. I still do believe if in a group setting I will fight to protect the other people that I love, but that is not the case for when I am alone. I went over to my friends house around noon to check in on her cat for the day. Everyday I would go and check her food and water. Shortly after I would go looking through the house to find the cat. I looked under tables, behind furniture, and on this particular day I found her under the bed on a trundle. Once I found her we played for a little and then we went to watch tv together on the sofa in the living room. She fell asleep on my lap while I was petting her. I guess she was not a fan of watching Victorious. After about 20 minutes her head perks up very fast and looks

Senior Year with Quarantine

Every teen looks forward to living a memorable and fun senior year in high school. My friends and I are seniors this year, and sadly our time together has been cut short. The worst part of it all is that no matter how many times you tell everyone, no one will understand how valuable time is until you're in our shoes. I've been told for 4 years to soak in all the memories, and I've failed to do so every year until now. What looked to be the best year in high school ended poorly. If you were where the seniors are now you would constantly be reminiscing on old videos and photos, and while you cry you're going to listen to sad music, and wish you could just go back. Take it in, remember things a little better, and work harder at the things you might not get to do in college. You begin look around and realize the people who you have spent 5 days a week, for 12 hours a day, and hung out with outside of school for so many years are now all going separate ways to start life.
