One of the most important things I've learned is that it generally takes more energy to become upset than it does to simply "shrug it off." When I was younger, I confused independence and individuality with aggression. Now I realize that you don't have to be a tough girl to succeed. Kindness and compassion are the best tools to a happy, healthy life.

well 10 years ago i would be 6 and a half. and i probably would of told myself to start acting when i was a little kid. because i don't know its better to start young rather than acting at the start of 12. that was very hard for me. because i think it might be easier to become a child actor and you learn the ropes soon. and then when your 12 you start to learn and there are more kids competing with you at the auditions.

There's a lot of things I wish I knew ten years ago that I do now, but back then I was only twelve and had so much life to live. The one thing I learned and one to share with others is trust your feelings. Many times I've had feeling something was wrong and/or "funny", but went a long with something because of friends or family and it turned out bad.
