Why I Want To Pursue My Acting Career

It can be hard for me to forgive someone who has crushed on of my dreams, but holding

grudges does not help anyone. In fact, holding grudges can make it even less likely that I will

ever accomplish this dream some day. For example, when I was in fifth grade, I wanted to be an

forgive my director. It took me a while to get to this point, as it should, but I have moved on from

this experience because time passes and so should grudges. Not forgiving my director and just

grieving over this one tiny moment could have caused even more failure later in my life. By
