The Capacity To Change

Tweet

I can't join theater plays before because my teacher said that I'm dark, i'm ethnic, and I don't look good. I was too skinny before and whenever I say that my dream is to become a professional model or actor someday, the whole class would laugh. I was bullied in my basic ed days and it was terrible... With great passion and determination, I was able to overcome everything. I discovered what was inside of me by believing that I am not inferior. I believed that if others could, I can. Whenever people tell me that I can't, I close my ears and endure the pain. I continued what I want to do and express what I can do without hurting people. I tried to inspire and be kind to everyone even to those people who underestimated me. Discipline is a must to metamorphosis. When I was 15, I started to workout in the gym. I had lots of gym buddies but none of them lasted for more than 3 weeks. But I was still here, doing everyday what people do occasionally and that is the key to success. For 2 years, I never stopped. The physical and emotional pain, people saying that I ain't working out much because my muscles aren't that developed. I was rejected in modelling go-sees. Too bad, they didn't asked my age. I'm only 16 that moment. This time, I had gone too far. Everything completely turned upside down. I'm already a part-time model but still a college student but at least, I know I'm half-way there. I'm on my way of being an actor too. Every morning I look into the mirror and still wonder if this is real. I realized the every people has the capacity to change and we must not look on people's physical traits much. The burning passion inside every human is very powerful. It could transform an ugly duckling into a swan. Sh*t just got real.
