A ten-day-old baby is among dozens of survivors being found buried alive under tonnes of rubble more than four days since the devastating twin earthquakes in Turkey.
I was eight years old when I first found my love for acting. Being able to dress up in crazy costumes and portray fun characters was the perfect way to fulfil my imagination as a child. Sitting in my bedroom, I would write and prepare my own scripts, excited to perform them in front of my family members and make them laugh! I knew from a young age that acting made me feel special.
It was my safe place.
Acknowledging my passion, my parents decided to sign me up for drama classes. With countless hours spent taking lessons, making costumes, learning stage directions, memorising scripts, and performing in front of an audience, my devotion for acting only grew stronger.
