A lot of people have the problem that their parents won't or can't get behind what they want in life and they struggle to make their parents believe in them and what they are doing. On the other hand, my parents may believe in me too much. I always thought how lucky am I to have parents that are so supportive and proud to have me as a child, but now I'm questioning that. Maybe their support gave me too much reign to follow whatever dream I had at the time not what my true dream was or maybe they weren't honest with me because they had to see how indecisive I was.
I didn't decide on what I went to school for until halfway through my senior year of high school and chose something with no wiggle room to study other things while I was in school. Before I decided "Oh, I know, I'll just be an actor", I thought I wanted to go to school for Photography and/or art history and before that it was interior design and I've always wanted to study archeology. At one point I wanted to be a homicide detective and an event planner and a writer or an illustrator. Now that I have graduated from an extremely focused and defined program for acting, I have no idea what I want to do anymore and all of these old ideas of things I wanted to accomplish are rushing back into my current dreams.
So now what? with the economy that I got the privilege to graduate into, I don't exactly have the option to just test things out until I find the right one because it's such a challenge to get any kind of job.
