Improved Essays
A phrase that could be used to describe me is "consistently persistent," and even though I sometimes feel that I make a nuisance of myself when I repeatedly request interviews with actors (I especially feel this way when I 've asked more than five times and I am quickly approaching ten times), I have come to realize that ninety-nine percent of the time, I eventually get what I 've requested.

And when I got out of there, I thought that only thing I actually remember doing that I really enjoyed...And I wanted to do something with my life that I really enjoyed, 'cause my father did something for a living that he really didn 't enjoy...he was miserable. So I didn 't want to go down that road. I went back to the university when I was ready, about a year later, and I did performing arts and have never regretted
