Saturday Night Forever!

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.
