You remind me of myself at that age - also dirt poor, living in a town with no resources or opportunities. I took advantage of every bit of information and chance to act and work that I could find, just like you're doing. I think your courage and tenacity will serve you very well and put you ahead the game. I just want to encourage you, in addition to Lira's advice, not to wait for things to be "perfect" before you move to a bigger city. Definitely save money, create your own work, train, train, train. I think going to school on scholarships that you will almost certainly qualify for is a great idea. But get here as soon as you can, while you're young. And look us up when you DO get here... I'll help you out however I can. My best to you; don't give up!Dawn Davis (dawn@dawndavis.net)Dawnhttp://www.dawndavis.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003375476054427023.post-45579205741106859332013-05-06T10:20:45.740-07:002013-05-06T10:20:45.740-07:00This is completely true.

Mikailah, with your hardships and lifestyle, it wouldn't be unheard of you for you to have an almost or completely free ride. <br /><br />Talk to your guidance counselor at school now. Google acting programs universities. <br /><br />The sky is your limit at this point.<br />Lira Kellermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642476041389723474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003375476054427023.post-41039230339255294902013-05-05T21:24:24.156-07:002013-05-05T21:24:24.156-07:00Thanks guys!

One thing...everything Lira said was totally great. One thing I'd add is that while struggling actresses may have mixed feelings about college degrees, school can be a fantastic way to gain skills, contacts, and learn more about a city... <br /><br />Apply for scholarships.. lots of them. one advantage to not having money is that you generally qualify for more scholarships. sometimes a more expensive private school with a large wealthy alumni base can be cheaper than a state school because they have larger endowments and scholarship programs. <br /><br />so work hard, on everything you do. be involved, get good grades, and dont sell yourself short. good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003375476054427023.post-53267683080288726562013-05-05T14:20:30.774-07:002013-05-05T14:20:30.774-07:00Hey Mikailah!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you and wish you all the best. Work hard, never forget to enjoy what you love and listen to your instincts (and Lira's very smart advice). Always remember that there are people out there rooting for you!<br />Warmest wishes,<br />AnitaOphelia thinks hardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538284642733450430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003375476054427023.post-57474355602791060512013-05-03T13:41:03.506-07:002013-05-03T13:41:03.506-07:00*class.
