6. Why I love this and why it is important in my life
   This is important in my life because it shows me that no matter what anyone thinks of what I do or how I portray my self if I think I did a great job then I did.
   Acting isnt about getting on stage and acting like someone else it is about how you think that character might act and how you show their personality.
   I love it because no matter how silly, goofy, or strange I act, everyone takes it as me being me and learning how to be silly by acting.
