So, as many of my friends know, one of the greatest joys in my life is to make people laugh. I have always been a bit of of a class clown and, I'll admit it, a bit of a show off :). But my mother has always told me that ever since I was really little, she knew that I would one day be a performer. For as long as I can remember, I have closely watched and studied the comedic brilliance of some of the greatest female comediennes, old and new. Lucille Ball. Carol Burnett. Gracie Allen. Gilda Radner. Tina Fey. Amy Poehler. Betty White. Kristin Wiig. And, believe me, many, many more.
For me, funny women have always been my hope and driving force. They continually remind me that being funny does not mean being stupid and undignified, but that I can give people joy and laughter when they needed it most. I would not necessarily call these women my heroes, but they are definitely my role models, the women I look at and say, "That's what I want to be when I grow up!"
So, with all this known, I have decided that the career that I hope to hold one day is to be a cast member/writer on Saturday Night Live. This might be a little much to hope for, but all the greats did and look where they are now! When I watch episodes of Saturday Night Live, from the 70s up till now, they all look lie they are having so much fun and that there is nowhere else they would rather been than on that stage in 30 Rockefeller Plaza. I want to know that feeling and have a job that I can;t wait to go to everyday and work with people that make me laugh not only in reality, but also in the job we share.

A Day in the Life of 4th Quarter Senior
Hey everybody! I'm new to this whole blog thing but a friend of mine has really inspired me to start one, so here it goes!
So, I am a 4th quarter senior that just wants to get out of high school as soon as possible! Don't get me wrong, I've had a pretty good time in high school, but it's at that point that I just need some change. I don't know about all of you, but I get bored with things pretty fast. Not friends, because I love all my friends so much, it's just that I need a change of scenery, which is why college couldn't come any faster.
Sometimes when I think about how I can't wait to start college and meet new people and begin the first step in my career, i still get a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that once I leave, things won't ever be the same. My relationships will change, my location will change and maybe I might change, and as much as I do love and accept change, my fear is that I might not like what that change might be. I just have to keep positive and be optimistic and always try to remember that change will be good for me and that maybe getting away from it all might be just what I need.
My biggest wish right now is that my future turns out the way I hope it does: that I am successful in anything that I do, that I find a nice guy and have kids with him, and that I am happy with who I am as a person and how I have lived my life.
I also hope that I can be half as giving as my grandfather was. He was, and still is, such an important influence and taught me that there is good in everybody and if you look hard enough, you will find it. This meant a lot coming from him, a Concentration Camp survivor during WWII. With everything that he had gone through, he could have taught me that everyone is bad and predjudice against everyone they come in contact with, but he didn't. He was such a strong person, that he could overlook everything that he had gone through and still believe that everyone had good in them somewhere, even if it's hard to find.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed my very first bolg ever! Comments are very welcome and there will be much more in the future! :)
