Million Dollar Baby

So this march break we were told to watch an Academy award winning movie.
I chose to watch Million Dollar Baby which has won 4 oscars.
The movie overall was about a poor thirty-one year old waitress from the very lower classes and with a dysfunctional loser family, and she decides to make a difference through boxing. She convinces the experienced hardened boxing trainer Frankie Dunn to coach her and be her manager, with the support of his old partner Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris, who sees her potential as a boxer. Frankie has a problematical relationship with his daughter, and practically adopts Maggie along her career; in the end...well I won't give that away for those who haven't seen it!
But overall, the movie was amazing and completely inspiring.
It taught me that you should never give up on something even if people tell you that you aren't capable of it.
I personally didn't enjoy the ending; I was hoping for a Hollywood type ending where everything turns out okay in the end...
but unfortunately that didn't happen.

I was kind of hoping that there would be a miracle & that everything would work out, but this movie didn't end like that.

Thing is, Im not used to watching movies like that...

Im used to the typical "happily ever after" types of movies...

&I was hoping for that, but unfourtunatly, that did NOT happen.

It was very dissapointing & really made me cry.

But after I have reflected on it & had a very organic moment with my dad,

we discussed the movie & I understand that the movie was just being realistic..

& getting us outside of this "bubble" that we live in.

Everyone hopes for that happily ever after, but in reality life is NOT like that

& this movie really showed that.

Maggie shows us in this movie that she had her moment in the world;

she had a chance that many didn't get, and that many could never get there,

she got a chance to play boxing...

from being poor & living in a dysfunctional family to becoming a professional boxer with her moments in fame.

In the end, I realized that that was her purpose, & that was ALL she wanted to do,

it didn't matter to her that in the end she died because she had completed what she was meant to do.
I give the movie 4/5 stars and I believe that it was incredible and wonderful acting as well.
I recommend that everyone should see this movie and it was truly inspirational.

Realizing Ryerson

So I just got back from Ryerson University,

It was an amazing opportunity to be able to see it in person.

Ryerson is my first choice for Radio&television broadcating.

I hope to have a chance to live on residence.

After this experience today, I realize that this school is definitly a school in which I can call

HOME.

I feel it, and I even met the cheerleading team & hope to continue with cheerleading in Ryerson.

To be apart of that University would be a dream come true.

I really enjoyed my stay but it was not long enough.

Everyone made me feel welcome & I really hope to attend in September.

This school is filled with many cultures and many different events.

It is in the center of downtown Toronto in a wonderful location.

To me, this school is everything I have wanted.

Overall, my decision is between Humber College & Ryerson University.

I have already been accepted to Humber College so I definitly hope for an acceptence to Ryerson.

My heart is set for this Unniversity and I hope that they will like what they see

& I will be accepted.

Once accepted, I hope to achieve all my goals, and continue to strive to reach my goals now to make that dream a reality.

Now that I look back on these 4 years of highschool I really wish I had worked a bit harder & put more effort in my work so I really would not have to worry about being accepted at Ryerson, but since I made that mistake all I can do now is go forward and really try in the last few months of high school left & make the best of it, because you never know what can happen.

Overall, I had an EPIPHANY when I entered the school & I knew automatically that this is where I would LOVE to call home.

So I hope that I will have an opportunity to do that, because it would be such a wonderful goal accomplished.

But for now, I gotta make the best out of what I have, so I will strive to do the hardest I can and see what happens from there.

Academy Awards!

So just watching the Oscars, everyone looks stunning!

As much as people believe that Sarah Jessica Parker is ugly,

Pre-Production;

So basically,

we have had our pre-productions for our branding.

It was hectic for sure,

it was also a great learning opportunity.

We had our ups and downs for sure,

but in the end we did it.

This was my first time branding,

so honestly I didn't know what to expect.

At first, we were all looking forward to it,

of course, things were going wonderful.

It took our group quite some time to figure out a name that we all agreed on.

Once we were back on track, we decided to bring a list of names for our production the next day,

we have started from scratch!

So then on Monday, we all bought a bunch of names and narrowed it down,

we have finally thought of EPIPHANY; it was different,

unique

and just what we were going for.

Our colours were easy & we got them figured out.

Then we started filming,

we had some great ideas, but some if it took too long to figure out,

our ideas didn`t seem to fit.

We took too long to figure out what we wanted to do,

there wasn`t enough time to fix it,

so theeeeeen

after a while of preparing, we have gotten all our videos together

& in the end that was our best work!

After that was completed,

we had went on to ambience.

We had a couple of problems,

like all bringing the supplies we needed,

but in the end we got through it & pulled it off.

M.I.A? Nope!

Wow, so I need to catch up on some blogging! I haven't had time to blog in a while.
These past two weeks have been so hectic.
A lot changes in just two weeks...
We had branding in my Acting Academy class,
it was a wonderful experience.
I have never done it before,
so the fact that it went so well really motivated me
& I can honestly say that this course will be the highlight of my grade 12 year
I am loving every minute of it
& I beleive that by the end of this course I will be stronger
as a person & actor.
I hope to only learn about myself & really influence others.
Im excited to see what happens next.
& I can get back on track with blogging.
Hopefully Im making the right decisions & making memories as much as I can.
I wanna live it up!
Well, here it goes,
back on TRACK!
