A thought, a Dream, Will it be Reality?

I want to type so much, tell you so much. But where are the words? I find my thoughts to be rather difficult to verbalize. I’ll try my hardest although it might not be so easy. I just have to think and look, think of how to put my thoughts in words and look at what my thoughts are trying to say. Let’s start off by me introducing myself. My name is Christian and I am a 14 year old male living in Florida on my way to my sophomore year of high school. I enjoy playing sports although I’m not very good at any, I am of Hispanic decent. I enjoy watching the history channel, discovery channel, comedy central, and the Disney channel and I want my career to be acting.

I find some of my beloved hobbies to be my cause of distraught. I want to be an actor so bad. I want it more than anything. However I find myself unable to find any legitimate agencies that can help me. I watch Disney channel because it shows kids with the success I want. I do on the other hand envy those who have made it that far with professional help but to my opinion aren’t very good at acting. To me it’s not about the fame or even about the money. I just want to do what makes me as well as billions of other people happy. Entertain. What I want and love is constantly making its way to my head but, not in the way I would like it too. I sometimes fear that I won’t make it as an actor, but those thoughts are easily dismissed as soon as I look my self in the mirror and randomly act out a scene that I make up right on the spot. I watch shows such as the hit Disney show “Hannah Montana” and fantasize myself being one of the lead actors. I also love watching actors like Will Smith. He is actually the man who single handedly inspired me to want to be an actor. Although I don’t know him personally. All his movies and shows inspired me for the better to better myself. I believe I watched every single one of his movies and shows including the “Fresh Prince of Bell Air” series. I watched his movies “The Pursuit of Happiness” and “I am Legend” and I found myself studying his facial expressions with every sentence he says and every mood change in the movie. (This is completely off topic but I just want to point out how ironic this is, I am at this moment watching “The Colbert Report” and as I was writing about With Smith Colbert announced that Will Smith will be on his show in the episode) I also watch Disney channel because I would love to be an actor for them and work with their cast. However I am aware of the statistics of that happening and for someone of my “professional” experience (which I have none) I know that will not happen. I mentioned that I watch Comedy Central; well it’s usually to see stand up comedians perform and I have thought about being a stand up comedian. I am aware that it’s much much more work than just getting on stage and telling a bunch of jokes but I figured it would be much easier to get into and can open opportunities for me to be an actor. But I’d rather just go straight into acting. (I am also aware that it’s not that easy) I am constantly thinking, what if? What if this dream I want so bad comes true, and what if it doesn’t?

If it does, without any exaggeration I will be beyond the happiest person in the world. My life would greatly changed due to my new occupation and hopefully will change for the better. Thanks to my wealth from the job I will be able to buy my mom, my future wife and I our dream home and donate to charities.

If it doesn’t at least I will know I tried and I will just have to make the best of my life.

(of course I will audition in the future and stuff of that sort, I wont give up on my dream, this is if I grow older and realize this isn’t working out)

Thanks for reading, I’m sorry if I misspelled anything but I wrote this within 10-15 minutes and I wanted to post it before I went to bed. If you have any comments or concerns you can contact me via email and chrisvaz@live.com.

  1. just work hard for your passion.  this site should be able to help you start your acting career: Hollywood-opportunities(dotcom)


  2. If there's a will there is a way! And you certainly have the will. Take part in school drama projects, inform yourself about amateur acting groups in your town, I know it may sound slow going but it will give you the experience that is valuable in every job, as well as acting. And also find someone who will support you in your pursuit of making the dream a reality. If it is any worth I think you will succeed in becoming an actor.

  3. look you're very young! you know people don't become big over night! they start really really small and build there way up. i know it sounds very cliche when people tell you to keep on having faith and that it will all work out, but really what else can you do? i think that if you are determined, and keep working at this career, take every job you can get your fingers on, and keep the faith, then you will get your wish :D

  4. Just hang on, never, ever, give up on your dreams i wanted to be a pro in BMX and guess what? I'm sponsored by Animal and on my way to be a pro one day. DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS! If you follow them enough they'll come true!

  5. Kid your only 14, and your a sophmore? any way to become and actor you must try to take as many acting classes at your school and hopefully when your older u don't change ur mind. just work hard in school and when your older whatever you choose to do, doctor,nurse,taxi cab driver, manger, extc, you will be happy and successful.
