Acting : Fresh start by Triauna Jackson

Triauna Jackson

Fresh start

I HAVE BEEN INTO ACTING MY ENTIRE LIFE, I REMEMBER GROWING UP MY MOM ALWAYS HAD A VIDEO CAMERA ON ME TELLING ME TO DO CRAZY THINGS AND TELLING ME TO SING MY FAVORITE SONG "A WHOLE NEW WORLD" WHICH I FAILED SINGING. EVERY TIME I WAS TOLD TO SING THE DISNET SONG, I MIXED WORDS UP OR I SIMPLY DIDNT KNOW THE WORDS AT ALL!!! BUT I SOMEHOW WAS COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN WHAT I WAS DOING. EVERYTIME THAT CAMERA CAME ON IT WAS "SHOW TIME"!!! AS I GOT OLDER I STARTED TAKING MY ACTING CAREER A LITTLE MORE SERIOUSLY AND BEGAN ENTERING CHURCH COMPETITIONS TEACHING TEENS TO STAY CLEAN FROM DRUGS, ABSTINENCE, OVER EATING ALL FORMATTED INTO JINGLES, POEMS, MUSCIALS, WHATEVER YOU CAN THINK OF, I COULD TAKE IT AND FLIP IT TO SEND A MESSAGE. I WON 1ST PLACE EACH YEAR FOR 4 YEARS. MY OPPORTUNITY CAME WHEN A MAN FROM MY CHURCH TOLD ME ABOUT DENVER SCHOOL OF THE ARTS AND HOW IT WAS FOR TALENTED INDIVIDUALS LIKE MYSELF TO GO AND PURSUE A CAREER IN WHATEVER ART THEY HAD. I TOOK MY CHANCES AND AUDITIONED AND GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE SCHOOL. THERE I WAS CHALLENGED IN EVERY ASPECT OF MY ACTING, AND I LEARNED ALL OTHER FORM OF THEATRE ALSO. I HAD MY EYES ON THE PRIZE, I PLANNED ON ATTENDING JULLIARD AFTER HIGH SCHOOL AND STAR IN MOVIES WITH MY FAVORITE ACTORS THAT I HAD WATCHED IN MOVIES AS A CHILD. MY LIFE HAD DID A COMPLETE 360 AFTER 8THGRADE WHEN I WANTED TO DO REGULAR THINGS LIKE THE REGULAR KIDS... SPORTS, SCHOOL DANCES, AND MOSTLY BE ABLE TO GO OUT WITH FRIENDS LIKE NORMAL KIDS BUT THAT DECISION WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERTHING. SOON AFTER LEAVING DENVER SCHOOL OF THE ARTS WAS WHEN MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED. I WENT FROM BEING THIS PROPER YOUNG LADY TO A WILD CHILD. (LOL) I HAD A BABY AT THE TENDER AGE OF 16 AND TRIED TO FIND ODD JOBS HERE AND THERE JUST TO MAKE SURE MY CHILD WAS OK, BUT DEEP DOWN I KNEW WHERE MY HEART WAS, AND THAT WAS ACTING. IT WASNT UNTIL I WAS 20 THAT I REALIZED I NEEDED TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS BEFORE I GOT TOO OLD TO CHASE AFTER MY TRUE DREAMS. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TRYING HARDER AND HARDER TO MAKE THAT DREAM THAT SAW OF MY FUTURE AS A CHILD A REALITY. TO BE ABLE TO GO THE OSCAR AWARDS AND TAKE A PHOTO WITH MY FAVORITE ACTRESS (JULIA ROBERTS) WITH THE MOST AMAZING GOWN ON AND WITH ALL THIS AMAZING TALENT THAT I COULD SHARE WITH THE WORLD.IM HERE TO TAKE BACK THE CROWN THAT I KNEW I WAS BORN WITH. TODAY I PLAN ON DOING JUST THAT, I AM WRITING 2 STAGE PLAYS AND GETTING READY FOR MY 1ST EVER VIDEO MONOLOGUE- CRAZY BY MINDY JONES, IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WANT TO AUDITION FOR MOVIE ROLES. AND BY ME DOING THIS I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO MY EYES AND SEE THE PASSION THAT WAS ONCE THERE COME BACK TO LIFE! IM NOT SURE IF ANYONE HAS THE SAME DREAMS AS ME OR LOVES ACTING SO MUCH AS I DO, BUT I WANT TO SEE IF ANYONE CAN RELATE, IF ANYONE OUT THERE LOVES ACTING JUST AS MUCH AS ME.... AM I MAKING SENSE? THIS IS MY NEW BEGINNING FOR MY LOVE OF ACTING... FULL THROTTLE. EITHER ITS GO HARD OR GO HOME.....
