Don't Make People Into Heroes, John. Heroes don't exist...

Katie McGrath is my new role model or hero or whatever you want to call her. She proves that what I want can happen and it's happened before.
Hope is the best thing heroes can give to people.

You Don't Just Let Things Happen

Well, this is it. Done with high school and I just need to walk now. I'm graduating next Friday, by the way. Friday the 13th. Easily the best day I could graduate on and I will always remember because of that. I'm packing to consolidate and clean and figure out what I want to bring to college.
And honestly, I'm terrified. Really, this is insane. But...I want to. And I know that's not good enough. But I've got determination to spare. I'm also surprisingly comfortable on a stage. And it's just like any tennis tournament, which is just as much performing as on a stage. You need to take it one match at a time. The finals, the big prize for me, is Doctor Who. So, we'll think of this like being a qualifier at Wimbledon (the second week is over the Fourth of July this year, if anyone cares).
And you don't just walk into a Grand Slam without practicing. Time to start on the minor tournaments leading up. And it's one tournament, one match, one set, one game, and as always, one point at a time. The loss of a point, game, or even set isn't the loss of a match. I can do this. I just need to keep the same attitude I have on court for this even bigger challenge. Let's go!
