I've never been good with school. At all. I'm an actor, not a mathematician, nor an English Professor, nor a Historian. I work hard, but only within the circle of my craft. I'm fed up with this horrible school system, that I am learning absolutely nothing from, and would like to move on already. I don't get along well with people in my age range, only with adults and college students. I wish I was older already, this phase of my life only wants to make me kill myself. I wish this country would just move along and reform it's educational system, but that won't happen for a while. Next week, I'm starting my first ever professional-paying acting job that is being directed by a broadway producer. It may even go up north onto off-broadway. I really just want to act. I love acting, and all of this other school nonsense just seems to be slowing me down. My parents are beyond frustrated with me as I'm not doing my school work, yet I'm excelling in my growth as an actor. It's all I want. Many people have told me I have a strong career ahead of me. I still have a lot to learn, but it's the one thing I'm good at, and that I can work hard on. Many famous actors have dropped out, including Julie Andrews, British singer and actress; pulled out of school at age fifteen by her mother. Christina Applegate, American actress; dropped out of Excelsior High School in Los Angeles at age seventeen to pursue her acting career.
