it only meant something holy like. I just felt weird and confused not knowing what a simple word meant.
But one evening after school, my whole entire definition of PATIENCE was erased then engraved back into
my head again.
I love to sing. I love to act. I just love to express myself without feeling embarrassed because I go what
I love to do and just have fun doing it, and this I believe: That PATIENCE may hold the key to living out
your dreams. I am one of those people who don't follow their dreams, but instead they chase them. I've
always had big dreams of my own.
And yes I have accomplished one. Wanting to expose my talents in a wider view. My day was practically
normal. Not knowing what was in store for me in the future that dealt with my talents. A phone call made
to my mom about, "wanting to meet with me to set up a time and date to begin my training" really made the
rest of my day full of excitement. It turned out that my mom sent an audition tape of me singing and just
fooling around, which surprisingly the company of "World Talent" enjoyed watching.
I couldn't believe my ears! I had been singing for 8 years then and so i've waited that long for something
good to happen in my life. I arrived at World Talent dressed in my school uniform around 5 in the evening
with both my parents. The company's manager sat us down to discuss with us about my audition tape.
She had told my parents, "I would like to work with you daughter and help her progress in both her singing
and acting skills by taking it further, in having her audition for TV commercial and TV shows." I just couldn't
stop smiling that my cheek muscles were sore for about a good 2 hours.
My parents were both happy for me. But as the discussion came to "money", i'm talking about 12 grand
for a year of training. My heart raced as I knew that my parents aren't big-money spenders. They asked me one
question, "Is this what you really want to do?" I nodded and so they decided to pay for my training that night.
I felt so thankful that I didn't want the money to go to waste. I worked and pushed myself every time that I had
class. I didn't want to take any rest. After the one-year contract ended, my first audition was booked for
Nickelodeon. I went through the audition as calm as possible. Waiting for weeks, it turned out that being
PATIENT gave me my first call-back.

Hi Ariel!
I liked your paper. I agree with you that patience is necessary to live your dreams. I liked how you described what you like to do and the experience that took 8 years long to come. There were also good words like engraved and big-money spenders.
I think that you could give more detail on why you do believe patience is necessary to live your dreams. I was confused about what you meant when you said patience meant "holy like". There were also some grammer errors.
Good paper! :)

Hi Ariel,
It was neat hearing about your successful training and audition.
I think, though, that if you want to show your belief in "patience" you need to develop the eight years that went before that call from World Talent.
Where in your development as a performer did you have to wait, patiently, for the outcome? Wouldn't that be the eight pervious years? What examples showed you being patient?
In fact, it may be that you need to rephrase your belief statement. Is is really patience that you learned? Or something about working toward your goals? or following through on a dream?
Let me know if you have questions.
