I was not born in Canada and coming from a different country and learning a new language was not easy. I was bullied about my accent and was called names because I didn't like certain things, which made it hard for me to fit in. I was hesitant to do or join anything because I was afraid of being judged and being made fun of. I came close to giving up a few times from doing what I love, but my mother and a few friends taught me the meaning of not giving up and not giving other people the power over my life. Art always found me no matter how many times I found myself wanting to do something else, I keep going back to it. Because I didn't give up and started to really chase after my dream, I have done cool things. I worked in amazing TV and film sets, and met incredible people that helped me and continue to support me. Who I am? I have yet to figure that out, because every day I am evolving and my story is yet to be written, but one thing I am certain of now, is that I will not give up on chasing my dreams.
