UNIT 11

PERSONAL STATEMENT (UCAS)
No one knows this but growing up id always talk to my self in the mirror, I still do, looking at my reflection, using body language and saying random things. This made me feel really good and confident the more I did it.
I stopped talking to myself in the mirror when I started secondary school. Until i started getting bullied about the way I look when I come into school, girls just didn't like me or want me to be their friend. Even my group of friends back then would bully me, they would make me clean up after them make me feel small and just treat me so little because I was week and they liked it. I cried every day until one day I looked at the mirror and smiled and said to myself "Everything is going to be OK, your are going to go through a lot of rough times but you are going to overcome it because your strong" so I started talking to myself to the mirror again until I started imagining what life would of been like if i started standing up for myself even when I knew it would never happen so I started acting like I was standing up to myself to those who treat me bad. It felt good looking in the mirror and acting like someone your not, acting like other people, I started getting comfortable in my own skin when I was acting in the mirror. I was comfortable with what life has thrown at me and was prepared for what life has planned for me. Every time I act in front of the mirror I finish off  by saying "I like what I see in the mirror?"
I know secondary you will have a lot of drama - every time I push things aside to concentrate on what I want to build for my future like being an actor people bring me back down that's why it was hard for me to even pick drama as my GCSE because I was very uncomfortable with those around me because I know they will bring me down again so I made a promise to myself to do drama in college some where I know I will have a fresh start. I know secondary school you will go through rough times like me who cant stand up for them self but it made me confident at the end of my secondary school years enough to stand u for myself now gain respect but I will always have the week in my and I have accepted that.

When I was little Id use Drama everywhere I go like when Im walking down the street Id pretend I'm walking in slow motion and the wind is blowing and my hair is flowing and I have video cameras around me filming me. I still do this now. I sometimes look about at my life and see it like it was a movie.
My whole life when Id watch movies and there was a character I really like Id pretend I'm the actor playing the role and I would actually play the role myself in front of the mirror.

Growing up watching movies with my dad Iv'e always imagine playing my favourite character in that movie - always, I still do now. I do the same with music videos, characters in a book and dancers and son on lots to do with the world of performing arts that i see on TV.

I've always known that I'm an actor that's why I picked to do this course. Its really that simple but here are somethings that I love about it.
Every role, every story, every performance is different and connecting with other people in your group and the audience.
Eye contact, listening empathy and patience are the many things that make a good actor and a good person I believe in that 100%. With every new role I had the last 2 years on the course.

There's a lot of laughter which I love, I'm a very happy person, I love seeing people laugh and smile and those who don't laugh and smile I give them a reason to for example "laughing and smiling brightens your day". 

I love working as a team. I believe that everyone has a creative mind that they can each share with the team, I love listening to peoples ideas. I feel like when people share there ideas it will build something great all in one. When everyone is working together the group are all fully present and focused and working together moment by moment to tell the same story, its satisfying.
I love the swiftness, the adrenaline rush, we all talk about getting nervous and that happens ones in a while.
Before every audition and performance I have such positive bonds and relationships with the rash of energy that I crave a lot. When I don't act for long stretches, I get restless and anxious and have to find some way to put myself under pressure to get that energy out.

I have many hobbies, I love playing Tennis, tennis happens to be my favourite sport.
I love Art - I love drawing I've also been drawing my whole life.
I love doing Hair I do my siblings hair all the time for school and special occasions and when they want to go out somewhere, people also pay be to do their hair.
I love Cooking, I cook and bake a lot at home.
Photography is also one of my hobbies because I love taking pictures of the beautiful world we live and and I also like to take pictures of myself for social media like Instagram.
Reading book use to be my hobbies, I use to love reading books - I feel reading books is still my hobbies because every time I see a book the smell - that fresh smell make my journey through reading the book give me a good vibe. I will be going back to reading book real soon. I have been using this app called episode. The app is a storytelling network and platform that features interactive stories. I love using this app the stories is there are absolutely amazing its as if your watching a movie when your reading the stories, people around the world create stories and upload it on episode. It amazes me how creative people can be.
