Why are the famous just so famous? I feel like society is bombarded by celebrities with every step we take. People go from being nobodies to somebodies overnight. Then, before we know it, he or she is plastered all over TV, billboards, and radio.
Don’t get me wrong; I don’t think there is anything wrong with being famous. It is all about the way you present yourself. But it is unfortunate that so many celebs don’t lead good, productive lives. And, it is these people that others tend to look up to.
I’m not trying to sound conceited, but let me say something. I am a striving actress trying to make it big just like everyone else in Hollywood. I find myself constantly comparing myself to the actors on screen. A lot of the time I truly believe that I could just as good of a job as some of those other teen celebrities. But, why is it that they get all the gigs?
One person really stands out in my mind, Miley Cyrus. She was a nobody until she landed a Disney Channel TV show. Now she is making shows, music, and movies. Tonight I went to see the new movie, Bolt, and was surprised to learn that Miley Cyrus was one of the character’s voices, and also had her music playing during the ending credits.
People can go from being a nobody to a somebody in a heartbeat. My conclusion is that it is all about the people you know. Once you are “in”, people exploit you. Anything is possible dreams can come true.
The question is, though, "is becoming a "somebody" worth it?" Is it really worth being used and abused, exploited and taken advantage of, hurt and ridiculed just to be a "somebody?" Personally, I'm content with being a "nobody." (After all...nobody's perfect ; ))

Because they linger in the “ZONE”!
“But, why is it that they get all the gigs?”
Because you point your focus wrongly, you shouldn’t care about those who make it, they should not be of any importance to you.
By doing this you are limiting yourself in achieving your personal goals.
Focus upon yourself! Since you are still young, put pressure upon yourself, you can take it!
