A Dream or a Beautiful Nightmare?

Its been a while now since I lost hope in pursuing my dream, which was and still is acting. Since I had this dream I never stopped wanting it and I would always say, “ I know I can, be what I want to be, If I work hard at it I‘ll be where I want to be“. Every single day I would want it more and more It all started so fast I started taking a theater course and found myself Stella of streetcar named desire.

The next I acted in Arabic and studied play analysis. Afterwards I took advanced acting courses. Not only that, me and my 2 best friends acted in an AUC play which was praised by most of the theater department. My favorite part of that was acting to camera. My monologue was very interesting I never felt how sensitive I am except through this monologue it was from a movie called klute. About 3 months ago I was in Los Angeles taking courses in UCLA, when I came back to Egypt I was very frustrated and depressed as there I could do whatever I want at any time of the day plus Hollywood is there.

So I thought why not go to new York film academy in Los Angeles where you get to act in universal studios and have fun as well. I spoke to my father about it he had no problem about it but he told me that “then what” that word really made me frustrated as most of the actors in Egypt just act and by practice they improve not to good actors but to professional actors with all the characteristics and qualities they should have. 3 days ago I got the acting fever again as my I was telling Nihal my best friend that I am starting to lose hope and I don’t want this to happen, My other best friend is really excited about the idea he wants to go as well.

Both of us are trying to work on it, be actors. Our dream is Hollywood the place where we already had so much fun in going out and enjoying it. We want to be stars that people take pictures with while walking on Hollywood boulevard. That’s my dream and nothing will stop me.
