Olivia Holt
Being discovered by disney at 12 years old, involved so much more than watching the disney channel and dreaming of one day being on TV.
While dreaming of someday being on disney, you must also devote yourself to learning how to act, sing and perhaps dance. Be prepared for going on many auditions and still maintaining good grades at school.
So many kids try to become famous, and throw away their education and chase their dream, but only a few make it. If you are not one of the few kids that becomes famous, chasing your dream could ruin your life.
That is why you need to stay in school, keep your close friends, and maintain your life with parents who love you, while chasing your dream, but only it does not interfere.
Its not just you, who must sacrifice your home, family, and friends, education but your parents who if they decide to help, must also sacrifice their life, work, family to take you to acting classes, drive you to auditions, and to meet with agents, managers, lawyers and people who we hope can guide you to the roles and jobs in acting that you have always dreamed about.
