Why my life deprives? Let’s go back to 1990s and I have pretty much good job in Dallas, Texas as Administrative Assistant. I thought I took it seriously and put myself more imagine so took the acting classes. I actually do enjoy the classes and learned lot from mentors and celebrities. They suggested me to join the talent agent and I did one of talent agent has been sending me to few auditions and casting director kept kicked me out from auditions. I still going and going until my contact running out. I performed at theater and find me another talent agent and pretty much goal for it.  I signed the contract for SAG and set up the goal for a year to play with one of their sons in feature film. I was so exciting as unfortunately laid off from my job. But in the couple months later, I found me next job as Data Entry. I have no idea what life would like to be.

During the time, I met one girl and have few friends. I thought great to meet few friends that I never go out often, so I did and enjoy my life in middle 20s. On April 1997, I have promised my talent agent to come back for sign contract for another year and this girl actually take my life away from acting career. The contract and SAG gone! I was so confused and new to me with this relationship and my jobs are gone. I meant my new job as Data Entry gone! I was so shamed and upset because I do not understand the universal among me. I never find me a job or acting career anymore. I tried many jobs applications after I decided to leave this girl who I loved so much. I felt so low and shamed.

I remembered that I have business classes in high school and college, so I try to take it easy, but no one support me by ideas I had made. No business job for me. No acting, no business or no lifestyle for me.  My life actually taken.

Well, in about 15 years later, I found in St Louis, Missouri where I live in. This guy is great role for me, and he is young director I ever seen.  He made the movie once and wanted to do the second movie, so I joined his team as Production Assistant and started to fall in love with acting again. I took some classes for acting and refreshed.  Yes, I have a job as Billing Processor and soon laid off again. I have partner who support me and own house. After the movie released, I started to be finding me background role in many different film and television. I was so happy to take it back but had scared from the past I had before. It hurts me so much because I can’t get talent agent again. I am free agent and manage myself to those casting director who would take me to play the background role which is fine with me.

After the laid off, a year later, I found me a job as General Clerk II and kept going to his filming and mine acting career same time. I know sound stressed so I moved to condo and live alone. My live partner moved to her condo, too. I got the part for deaf theater so loved it much and you should watch us. My life taken. No.

Moved to Alabama last 5 years ago, I have job changed again and drove to Atlanta, Georgia for filming and television for background roles. No talent agent. No business set up. My life is just building up and there is no suppose under the building, it could be fall apart. I would love to have this business working and acting career working. I am free agent and enjoy the life rest of time.

Forward the future. My life should not take yet.
