What Acting Taught Me. Top Story - August 2019.
For me, acting always served a very specific purpose. When I first started, I couldn't have been more than 5 or 6, it was for pure, innocent joy. Relentless pleading from their boisterous and self-assured child left my parents with little choice, but to enroll me in acting classes. Then, around 12, my hobby turned into a career. This career would fill my days with acting classes and auditions. Days turned into years. There would be the occasional triumph, those fortunate moments when working meant going to set and earning a paycheck. But more often than not, working meant class, practice, audition, repeat. It wasn't until more recently in life, when the realities of adulthood brought forth new and unfamiliar experiences, that it came to serve yet another distinct purpose.

A Letter to My Role Model
Hello AJ (god this sounds so weird), I don’t know if you’ll read this or not, but I wanted to write to you anyway (boldness maybe) in order to thank you for being an inspiration for me, for always standing up for yourself and most of all for making me feel confident despite my mental illness.

Best Motivational Speakers in the World
Last semester during the last few weeks, I felt discouraged to study and do my best on the final exams. I knew that break was coming up real soon and I also knew that the final exams were going to be brutal. No matter how hard I tried to study, I always felt like I was going to fail every exam miserably. Nursing exams are no walk in the park either, and studying for them literally takes sweat and blood just to get through one chapter.

There are so many influencers out there in the world. Whatever their profession may be, be it doctors, entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, fitness instructors, or nutritionists, they all encourage everyone to go out there and capture their dreams.

So, if we can't motivate ourselves, we just need to check out successful individuals who were in the same positions as us one day until they were motivated to make a change in their life.

Why I Don't Live Vicariously Through Celebrities or Public Figures
Everyone had at least a famous person that we all have looked up to growing up. Going to an event to get a picture or autograph is an exciting moment in someone's life. In this article, I'm going to give my two cents of why I don't live my life through famous people. I know that sounds odd or unusual, but it's the truth. For most of my life, I have met many well-known public figures—mostly at conventions. People like Vic Mignogna, Kyle Hebert, J. Michael Tatum, Don Teems, and Ciara Renee. It was a great opportunity to meet and take pictures with these people. I'll always hold onto those memories by posting those pictures on my social media pages. I don't always share photos of a famous person that I met, because it's not my thing. I'll share a picture of one every now and then, but it's not an everyday thing. I don't want to come across as being a big shot or show off. It seems like a majority of people these days live vicariously through famous people: whether those people are reality TV stars, actors, or actresses. Some people do that because they feel that he or she knows them personally and is willing to defend them every single time. To be honest, it's sad and pathetic to see regular people do that, mainly because they probably don't have or never had any positive influences in their lives, which I can understand. Their lives probably have no meaning and they're constantly feeling unsatisfied about their lives. They want to see what it feels like to experience the life of that person.
