What Fame Means to Me By Christina Wlazlowski
Fame was the tv show that taught me about dreams. With it's music and dancing it just lit up my eyes to watch.
It took a little shy girl and made her want to try something new. What a surprise when I found out I had talent too.
It introduced me to a world that became a shelter and an outlet for a world filled with pain. You see my mom was never around when I was growing up she was always sick since she had a kidney transplant when I was five and had a stroke when I was born. My dad worked all the time so I rarely saw him I spent my time with my grandparents. My mom was a singer and my Dad didn't like me performing he wanted me to stay home and take care of my mom. I'll never forget my first dance recital getting roses from my Dad , he had tears in his eyes. And later on in 8th grade I did the theme song from fame onstage and was surprised to see my mom in the first row. I later did acting , sang in clubs , taught dance. Enjoyed doing Shakespeare plays and reading thanks to Elizabeth Sherwood played by Carol Mayo Jenkins.
I worked part time in a book store and was the one people came to regarding classics, Shakespeare, and plays. Later on I turned into writing short stories, ,music, poetry, novels, and plays. I never would have received the happiness I had gotten performing, and teaching and writing If I had not seen the show fame and if I had not learned to believe in myself, and not be afraid to try. Fame will always have a very special place in my heart. Some of the songs I used to do for professional auditions were from the show. I'm happy to say that I have turned some of the younger generation into fame fans now. I only hope these words are enough to give back to you to show how much the show meant to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
