Hi
My name is Samantha and i am currently doing TEE Drama studies at school. I find the course easy and have to add i love it more then anything in the world. The hardest thing about doing is drama and wanting to become an actor or drama teacher is the way people treat you when you tell them what you want to do with your life. People mostly adults with the upper hand like deputy principals, career advises give you the look and more then likely the "ohh" as if to say get out of your fatasy world. It is somewhat embarrassing to a stage because these people use their power to dominate us (the students). Sometimes we even look up to them and when they give you that sort of response it makes you feel lousy. My advice for other students is they do it to everyone and if drama is what you want to do then do it and dont take their response as an indication on what to do.

Screenwriter Dennis Foley once said, "The only way to fail in Hollywood is to quit." The sentiment is as applicable to acting (or any of the other arts, for that matter) as it is to screenwriting. Strive, seek, find and never yield.
