"...my movie star goals clashed with the reality of my talent. I couldn't even get a part in a crowd scene in the high school play. And I was in the drama class at the time...." That is such a tragic and hilarious line, Sue. I feel your pain. Great descriptions of your two women mentors here. I can just see them. Both remind me of my high-school drama teacher, Ms. Pepper, a fiery, independent redhead. I wanted to be her.
I wonder where Loa is today? Time to google. Anyway, youth is for exploring the feasibility of our dreams. Glad we can do that in our culture. Other places, your course is set with your choice of major. If it doesn't work out for your soul, well ... you're stuck with it.
