Im a junior in high school preparing for college does anyone have any helpful advice?


I'm torn between three occupation. I would love to become an actress but its a hard field to get into and I sometimes feel afraid of how unstable my life would be if I became an actress. I also love dancing but don't know how to pursue that further. But I love photography as well but if I spent the rest of my life as a photographer I would always wonder what could have been.

It's great that you have interests. You don't have to narrow down the choices just yet. When you get to college you can take a drama class, a dance class, a photojournalism or photography class. You can see where you are strongest.

Just pick a school that has a lot of major options, and you'll be fine.

I would suggest "job shadowing" finding someone who is a professional at what your interests are. Example find a wedding photographer and ask then if you can tag along for the day of a wedding shoot and help them out.. All for free of course. Try contacting a drama company in the town or city where you live or even just drop in and ask then same question about job shadowing. Call a dance studio and asked if you can sit in on some classes. Ususally a class for walk ins is 10-20 dollars. Good luck

As a mother of three I always tell my children and their friends to do what they want to do. You could always take photography classes but also do dancing or acting. Ask a counciler at school where you whould look further for acting or dancing. Don't be shy ask at job centers not only about where you can get schooling but if they have any funding to help you. Make sure you apply for funding in a timely matter. Wish you the best.

    Scan the picture, then put it up on the internet. Then link to it. Someone will probably recognize who it is. Based on just a description, it could be any of dozens of actors.
