You Can Do It


There was a little girl who was as pretty as a princess.  She was well-behaved, worshiped by her parents and two older brothers and as good as gold.  She was very dramatic about everything and could pretend to be just about anyone.  “You can do it” they all said.
As she grew older, she became interested in acting and became more and more talented and confident.  About 4th grade, she auditioned to be in a musical with her high school brother.  She was chosen for the chorus and became enamored with being on-stage.  Her performances included self-taught guitar and violin,  dance, baseball, tennis, golf, piano lessons, lip sync of comedic performances as well as doing her own.  “You can do it” they all said. 
Many musicals, many plays, several high-school movies, many characters and many performances later, she graduated from high school with laud and honor, praises from her director, co-actors and others.  “You can do it” they all said. 
She was accepted into one of the best theatre schools in the country and continued to perform, work back stage, design sets and costumes, learn how apply stage make-up and “effect make-up”,….. everything.  College ended and she was ready.  “You can do it” they all said.
Where to start?  L.A.  Is the world ready for another Lucy?  Meryl?   “ California, Here I Come!”  she said.  
Fine is one thing.  Being a major leaguer is another.
“You can do it” we all said.
