The Secret At Only 15!
Submitted by: Chelsea M.
Amherst, OHI'm a high school student and I'm only 15 years young. I had a very rough childhood with my Mom and Dad's divorce, and have been dancing since 21 months of age. I have never been shy and always loved to perform.
I’ve been performing since before I was 2 years old at a very good performing arts school in Akron where I grew up. My mom always tells me that everywhere I’d go people would stop her telling her how beautiful my red hair was or how she HAD to take me to a modeling or talent agency. Performing has always been my #1 in life.
Several years later, I was always looking on the internet for auditions and casting calls. I never ever wanted to stop performing. Everywhere I’d look, however, I found scam after scam. I never gave up.
I watched The Secret almost 10 times within 1 month. I fell in love with it. I realized how much better my life could be if I just lived by that and stopped doubting myself. Every single night I’d pray and pray for a chance to make it big someday. I closed my eyes, imagined myself auditioning, felt the joy of making it, and watched myself do what I really wanted to do.
Not long after that, my friend called me telling me about an audition with an agency in Cleveland. Right away I made arrangements for me to go. I auditioned for acting; MADE IT. I auditioned for modeling; MADE IT. And most importantly I MADE IT for dancing! Now I get to go to New York City in the summer to a huge convention called IMTA and I get to pursue my dream!
NOBODY can tell me that that’s just a coincidence! 🙂
