    congrats from a kid who lives in the Chapman area! just a small thing with Disney rn- there are no annual passes right now ( they cancelled the entire program) and reservations are tight, but hopefully it’ll lessen up over time !!

      haha yes i’m a huge disney parks fan so i’ve been following this story for a while, the president of disneyland said they are bringing back the program by the end of the year so i’ll be able to get one hopefully by the end of my first semester :)

      film school is usually technical & for jobs behind the scenes. there are a lot of universities that offer a screen acting major, typically at their school of preforming arts which is specific to being an on-camera actress!

    I have a question. I'm very athletic and I love sports and I enjoy doing it. As much as I love sports I still want to do film school and maybe pursue a job with filming involved but I still love sports and want to do a lot of them when I get older. In the schools that you said in the video do they have a sport scholarship or a good sports program?

    • @riripeaches
      @riripeaches Před rokem +1
