And I thought, oh, my God, that is like, you know, if I could do something like that.
But that's too big a prayer.
I can't even ask God for that.
And that coming semester, I needed an elective and I took a theater, an acting class.
And literally when I walked in the theater and walked on stage, it's like I knew I was home.
You know, I'd never been home before.
I'm all my life.
You know, you're looking for this.
You're looking for that.
I felt.
I'm home.
This is it.
And that's when you ask God that prayer.
If you bless me to do this, I will honor it.
I will show up on time.
I will do my best, you know.
And from that time on, except for maybe a couple of things, I've never had to earn a living outside of my profession.
I was with a group of actors, Joy Montagna, Tim Daly, Joe Pagliano.
We were all sitting around, and they were talking about various jobs they had to work in between.
And I've been blessed, even raising a family, to be able to earn a living acting and in the business.
