I'm your basic definition of an artist, except for the social "placement." Allow me to elaborate.

I am a sophomore in high school as of June 12th, 2008. I am in the school choir, drama club, color guard, pops ensemble, and symphony band. Outside those clubs/classes, I am in all honors level classes, and those classes have an entirely different set of students, besides one or two who are like me. The group of students in my classes are smart and popular, exactly what you want to be in high school. I'm smart, and I'm sort of somewhat popular. Not nearly as much as some girls/guys, but I've definitely gone up since eighth grade.

Acting is my passion. If I couldn't do it, I'd probably shoot myself in the face. (Except not really. I just say that because it's extremely important to me.) Same thing goes for music. And I'm not talking about I'd die without my iPod/mp3 player, I'm saying that without a singing voice, a choir, and/or a piano, I would be miserable. Because who doesn't love music? Everyone loves different kinds of music, but usually the music is more of the popular stuff. I'm the type of person who REALLY listens to the music, evaluate it, think about it for days, tell you 5 musical reasons why I do or do not like it, etc. For example. I dislike the song "Take A Bow" by Rihanna because there is a melody (in the accompniament), but only in the percussion instruments. There are no definite beats, and there tends to be a lot of empty spaces, pauses, and times where the accompniament just seems to not go along with her voice, or vice versa.

It is my dream to one day star in a Broadway show. Musical or not, I'd love to star in any show at all. And I don't want to do it because I want to become famous with all these flashing lights everywhere. I want to do it because it's a passion, and I simply love to act, sing, and dance.

Aside from all that, I have a screwed up past that's pushed me to do better in life and become what I am today. During the day, I'm a very happy person. I try very hard to be happy, and I try too hard to impress others. Since I'm happy all the time, I have no time to be emotional (angry, upset, etc) so I end up in my room, sulking alone. I am indeed single, I'm just waiting for the right person to come along. I'm not into online relationships. I've tried it before, and trust me, all it does is bring heartache and suffering. My goal in life is to make it into Columbia University, become an actress, and after I burn out from that, become a prosecutor of sex crimes. At some point I plan on writing a novel and publishing it, because I have a voice that needs to be heard.

And never forget: Even if you win, you don't.
