Finally Meeting With An Agent!

MunichI'm an English actress living in Munich trying to find success.
Dear everyone,
I’m an English actress, living in Germany desperately trying to make a career for myself. I’ve been acting since I was six years old but I never went to acting school because I couldn’t afford it as I come from a poor family. Instead I studied Theatre at the state run Munich University and acted in everything I could get cast in. Acting is my whole world and it has always been my plan to become a famous Hollywood actress like Audrey Hepburn. So the next logical step for me is to get an agent. This is really hard in Germany because so many agencies only accept actors who went to acting school. So I sent out applications to every agency in Munich I could find and was always grateful in advance for the magnificent outcome. But for weeks and weeks no luck. I got one rejection after the other because they were all filled up or not looking for women right now.
Then last week I got yet another rejection, it must have been about the 20th time. I briefly considered locking myself in a call box in the office I’m currently working in and crying. But I thought, No! I’m going to go online and look for more agencies.
Straight away I found one that I hadn’t tried yet. I called but no one answered so I called a different agency. They said I can send in my application. Then my phone rings and it’s the agency I’d tried to call before. The woman on the phone couldn’t have been nicer. She said I could send in my application and that she’d see if she thought I had potential, even though I didn’t go to acting school. The next day I received an email telling me to call in order to arrange a meeting! I couldn’t believe it! I had been trying and trying for weeks but nothing seemed to be working. When I got that last rejection, I really considered giving up but I’m so glad I didn’t. Instead I believed that the Universe had my back and is guiding me to the right person. Tomorrow is my meeting and I’m so excited.
I can’t wait to write to you all to tell you about the amazing acting work I’m doing! Thank you Rhonda, I’m so grateful I discovered your books at such an early age. Thank you to everyone who reads this and thank you to the Universe, for always having my back!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
