WEEK4

wowww. amazing how time flies. the first week went by SO slow it felt like i would be at this school forever. the past 2 weeks have gone by so fast i don't even think my time here will feel long! but i am STILL amazed i'm here. i made it to this school! i made it this far! so i am working my beeeehind off while im here, i will continue to do so until i get to were i want to be. and even then i'll work hard! this career was not made for slackers! and its good to be surrounded by hardworkers here, and also by the slackers! so you can see the difference it makes in you, your teachers, your classmates. i mean - im paying wayy to much money, putting wayy too much time, and have wayyyy to strong of a passion for me to let my time here at this school just be...... another school?! PSHH. i worked by butt off to get here and i will workk my butt off to grow as an artist.

teachers treat us like we're in the business already, which technically, we are. (just at the verrrrry bottom  at the moment 0_0 lol) they let us know that acting/singing/dancing is no longer our hobbies but our careers. and that is something i took seriously. this isnt a game! if you dont do what your supposed to at work, you will get fired! and thats the same deal here if you dont do what you must here - you will NOT be able to stay here, and if you dont learn quickly, you will most likely not make it in this business. 

i've already learned so much! and this is just the beginning! going into week 4. its hard! Jesus allowed me to get accepted here, &he knows what he's doing and he knows what i can handle. but. its a cold world man. so carnal. and i'm trying to be the light in the midst of it all. it's so hard not to be dim - but, i am doing my best to stand out in the middle of all this black. there WILL BE NO grey. keep me in your prayers y'all. the Lord is faithful. my future looks like a reaaaaal bright one :D

SCHOOL HAS BEGUN!

wow. i'm here. at AMDA. this is real. this is my life. i am living a dream. 
for as long as i can remember - i've always wanted to go to a school that is 100% music & arts all the time! its great. no matter where you are you hear some form of music! and amazing good music at that! from all sorts of plays - that i will be a part of some day! absolutely amazing! i adore this career as you all know. there is nothing like it! and being here is just making me want it more! 

its so much work. already. my first week, not even finished yet - and i am already swamped with work! BUT - this is not me complaining in the SLIGHTEST! because i love it! hard work pays off. and because of all this work, i will come out a beast. which is the plan, remember! i'm surrounded by people 5x better than i am, and people not half as good as i am. but we all made it. we are all here. and now its up to US. to take this work, and USE IT to our advantage, being here at AMDA isnt good enough. just being here wont get you on Broadway. 

you have to apply yourself. you have to give every little thing you have within you to this. you have to allow yourself to be submerged in this work. eat, breathe, sleep, drink, LIVE this! if you do not live it you wont get there! so what do you all think i am doing? im LIVING this!! eating it, breathing it, sleeping it, drinking this!!! and nothing ever tasted so good. i am awre that this is only the beginning. and there is much much much more hard work to come. but hey - without the hard work id be at a stand still. and as ive said in previous blogs - that is something that can NEVER happen. nothing but growth from here on! 1% a day remember?! so letts goooo!

keep me in your prayers! its challenging. oh so challenging. my faith is constantly being tried. more than ever. but the Lord allowed me to go here, he gave me talent enough to get here. and because of that i know that i will make it through! he freakinnn rocks! this is indeed a FABULOUS journey. (lets not forget what that word means! ;) blog #1!!)

the moment of TRUTH.

its been a while y'all. my bad. 

i start at AMDA this week. i move in on thursday. i meet my roommate! yeah! 

placement tests are on friday, morning! singing/acting/dancing :)

i am absolutely positively THRILLED!

i am absolutely positively NERVOUS as well! now that the moment on truth has come?!

waayyyy too many emotions! but. i've come this far!

what is this but another circumstance for me to overcome? :)

so to overcome is my goal.  and ill meet that goal! pretty darn soon at that!

i am going to rock this school. i'm giving everything i have within me!

and Jesus is within me so #BEPREPARED! 

i'm coming out of this an unstoppable BEAST.

expect to see me in shows that you wouldn't expect. because Jesus can do that. 

and that's just the way it is.....with that being said...

this is the week where it all begins. 

i don't know who is reading my blogs. 

i don't know who cares if i make it to Broadway.

i don't know who cares if i follow my heart and live my dreams. 

i don't know who is shooting me down behind closed doors. 

i don't know who is supportive of my career choice.

i don't know who truly and faithfully believes in me, for SURE - with their ENTIRE heart.

what i do know - is i believe in me.  and i care if i make it to Broadway.

and i believe in me more than i think anyone possibly can. 

yes, i doubt myself at times. i forget my level of awesomeness now, and that from this point on

all i can do is improve. THAT is IT. growth, and only that. 

i know that being where i am now, and the simple fact that i will be in the best college for my career 

for the next 8 semesters, can only mean the best.

i know that this is what i live for. 

i know that live and breathe and eat and dream and taste Musical Theatre. 

every day of my life. its what i do. Broadway is awaiting me, with open arms

i will not let down such an invitation. 

i know that someone with a drive as such. and talent as such. would not be created as such,

if Broadway were not awaiting them: the HEART of Musical Theatre. 

all i'm going to say is... #beprepared ;)

patience is HARD!

having patience is harder then i thought!!! i'm more on top of my game with this school then i have been with anything else! so i currently have nothing left to do till i start. every time mail comes, i hope its from AMDA so i can have something to do! or an email, or a phone call! anything! i mean yes, im practicing my sight singing, and going over my monologue and song...but its just not enough! i need people. direction. coaching. growth. community. i need to be blooming! i need constant progression to be my life! i want to improve every. single. day!! if i improve 1% each day - by the end of the year...im 365% better! so imagine what will happen when i improve more than that a day!? BEASTY! i'm ready for that title. im ready for the work its going to take to get there. and when it happens? it will be GLORIOUS! i believe so much in myself im amazing myself! i know where im at, and i know where i want and need to be. and i know that when i get there, i'll have the next goal to reach! there is NO such thing, as being your best. of course you can always GIVE your best - but remember,  constantly giving your best will just cause you to get better. &thats where i'm headed. 100% in all and everything i do. no half-stepping. no matter how tired | how sore | how sick | how annoyed  or how frustrated - my 100% will go toward my craft. reaching my goal. and LIVING MY DREAM. 


nothing can hold me back.

hey lovies!

yikes. i have been slacking on this blog my dears! i know you've been DYING to hear from me =P

i have been doing well! i was really stressed the past two weeks trying to get all of the papers and information in that i had to, to confirm my spot in AMDA! as of today!? i'm set! its all taken care of and the rest is in the Lord's hands! so now my faith is being put to the test, once again! praying i keep it up! i will because Jesus has been too faithful to doubt him now! i am still amazed that i'm going to this school! my dream is coming to pass right in front of my face! slowly, but SURELY! so. uh. may. zing.! :) 

yesterday i went to go see THE LION KING on Broadway. oh my my MY!! first off, my seats were spectacular! secondly, my family, we're all disney fanatics! so the lion king already has a place is my heart. as well as Broadway! so it was like my two favourite things were merging, and it was nothing but pure amazingness. everything i had dreamed it would be! you HAVE to see it! just added MORE determination on top of what i already have! i try and find myself in each play that i see. my goal is to find at least one role i can play. and i surely found two i can see myself doing. so. i have more roles to chase now! stoked!! lets do this! i'm ready for my life to begin!!

THE NEW YEAR: the preparation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVIES!


welp. now that the reality of my acceptance has sorta kinda sunk in, time to prepare for the first major step of my journey! this is SOOOO exciting, overwhelming, stressful, fun, joyful, and confusing alll jumbled up into one feeling. i have NO clue how its possible to feel all those at once, but i've done it! 
tomorrow i am going to make all the calls i must to clear everything up in my brain, hahaha. i have SO many question but i am sure it will work itself out! if it wasnt going to the Lord would not have allowed me to get in! its obvious that this is my calling and what he wants me to do so because of that i have to continue to trust him!


the main issue at this point is keeping the faith that all the money i need to go will come through. we are trying to spend as little money from pocket as possible! and i KNOW that God can do this. i have been applying for all sorts of scholarships and i know that this can happen! i have extreme faith! so i just need to keep pressing on! :) i need you guys to keep the faith and pray as much as possible as well!! i know you guys helped me while getting in to i know you can help me again!


i simply cannot WAIT for this journey to start, i wish it was starting tomorrow! haha. no joke. watch out now! once at start at this school there will be NO STOPPING ME! this training will get me where i need to be! so as i wish you all the best, i pray that you wish me the best! 
a friend of mine said "I humble myself fore I need not speak my greatness when the people speak it for me" - Hakim Sharif Ahmad  - and i want to truly thank all of you for being so supportive of me, and believing in me. i wouldn't be here without my fans! (LOL hahaha!) the few that i have. ;) 
later y'all

guesss whaatttt?!!! :)!!

HE is more than faithful!


i was with my brother walking through the mall when the call came, i saw that 212 number and i went into an empty store and almost lost it! haha! i was sooo HAPPY! about to start shouting, crying, doing laps, LOL - the MOST! the things they said the admissions director and adjudicator thought about my audition and my file just confirmed that this is where i am supposed to be! i am READY to take this on full force! i know that it wont be easy - but it WILL be WELL WORTH IT!
