Dreams Come True

You can push fight and tug everything out of your arsenal to compete with some of the top people in your career/field of study but all that will do is send you back to the drawing block frustrated, exhausted and pretty much silly looking! You can spend life comparing others accomplishments with your own, or you can start to set your own goals and set up a plan to achieve them! Instead of watching every single move of that person you admire so much, start focusing in on what it is that you can do to improve your craft! If you find yourself latching on to the next hottest thing out, or changing up what it is that you want to do in life every other day.... It's time you sit down and not only face reality, but introduce yourself to her! "Hi! Im so and so! And I want to be successful, here is how I plan to achieve it!" When I was a sophomore in college, I got my first real dose of reality/independence! I was told no for the first time, and that I had to go out and get things on my own! It took a few years to get myself on track, and so I definitely know it isnt easy, but you have to start somewhere! I remembered back to when i was a freshmen in high school when I started filming at my church on Sunday because they were short one person! I picked up the camera, and cant remember since when I put it down! Today, years later, I am a news director at a Channel 12 News, an editor and animator at one of Connecticut's largest public access stations, and an owner and director of my own production company! Dreams do come true, but most importantly prayers do get answered! Lauren
