Be a Star of Your Own Movie
I always loved movies. It didn't even matter if I went to see them alone. In the movies, nothing seemed impossible: I became the star of the cheerleading team who leads her team to victory, or the teenager who bridges the gap between the races at her high school, or even the young woman who finds the courage to follow her own path against all expectations. And I would always live happily ever after.
In fact, I liked to pretend what was happening on-screen was happening in my own life as well. I liked the happy endings, the perfect happy endings. I wanted my life to be like that—happy and wonderful. I wanted to escape the stress of family and friends and school. My only escape from the reality was losing myself in movies.
I hadn't always been this way. As a young girl, I was outgoing and friendly, and even joined in after-school activities. High school was different, though. I became quiet and shy.
My parents were worried about me. They asked me to call old friends or get more involved with school. After promising my parents a thousand times that I would call one of my old
friends, I finally did it. The only number I knew by heart was Sarah's, so I called her. Sarah herself was pretty close to perfect: straight-A student, class president, off to Yale in the fall, beautiful, sweet, brilliant. We decided to meet for a pizza lunch.
We ate and talked and caught up on old times. I told her how difficult it had been for me in the past few years and how unbearable the pressure had been. "I wish my life were the way it is in the movies,"I sighed. "It would be so much easier."I looked down, my face in my hands. "I understand," she said. I looked up at her, questioning her with my eyes.

She explained she used to escape reality by doing the same thing.
“Then one day,” Sarah explained, “I started to think about why I wanted to be like the people in the movies.” And then it came to my mind that they had their stories already written out for them. However, I had the ability to write my own story. “If I had the power to decide on the story of my life movie, then why wouldn't I make it an inspiring one, a movie with a happy ending?” she said. “You are the star of your own movie. Now all you need is your story,” she added.
Inspired by her words, I decided that I would produce my own life story.
No other actress could fill my role. It was up to me to produce, direct and edit my life. I would set my own goals and would be able to achieve them from now on. There can be no success without the possibility of failure. The only sure way of failing is by refusing to try. I looked over at Sarah, said “Thank you” and held her hand firmly. The curtain rose, and my film began.
