An Actor Prepares - Part Two
I will never forget the day I told my High School Headteacher that I wanted to go to Drama School to study Acting and Musical Theatre. She immediately swatted the idea away saying that the chances of getting into a school like that were extremely few and far between. And only for exeptionally talented people.

A Day In My Life....
Hi there! My name is Luna, and I would like to share with you what I have been up to during this break from my normal life during the virus outbreak. I have been following WHO's (the world health organization) suggestions of staying home during as much as possible in order to contain the covid-19 virus. I completely understand how being stuck inside can really affect our mental health and productivity levels, making you feel like all there is to do is sleep, watch Netflix, and be stuck in your room all day. But what we have to realize is this can really be an opportunity you have been waiting for. Take this much needed time off to work on yourself; make over your room, try that recipe that always took too long, plan outfits, start a diary or plan out your future. As someone who was working a full time job, going to school full time, and working another full time job I have felt so much better with this break and decided to use it to work on myself. Now that I have finished off my semester of just doing schoolwork everyday, I will begin making daily blogs sharing what I did to work on myself or something I learned, and how you can do the same!

Stay Safe
We all take for granted the things we should be valuing. Prior to this quarantine a lot of us didn’t value our time, our loved ones or just the simple things. The amount of times I can rewind to me saying oh I wish today could just be over or I just don’t want to do the school run! These now feel like selfish things to say, wanting today to be over due to things not running smoothly and not wanting to do the school run because I’m tired. How could I have ever wanted time to just go by without embracing it and why would I not want to go out and see other people. Corona virus has definitely forced us all to be thankful for everything we have especially the small things. Two things that we must appreciate from now on is being given a second chance to see another day and having the ability to do what we can when we can. There have been thousands of individuals who have sadly lost their lives to the corona virus who would’ve wanted to see another day or do a school run with their grandkids or children. It truly breaks my heart.

All you hear or see on the news is all about this new virus going around that is infecting and even killing many. A panic can ensue and make you be scared to even touch your own face.

Finding our way back home
We enter into this world through a breath from heaven, with a sense of wonder and eyes of childlike curiosity. Yet, somewhere along the way, we often lose our innocence, trusting abilities, and naive playfulness. Even our sense of home.
