              My name is Christina Alexandria Aaron. I am 14 years old and I live in Wolcott, CT. I have a brother named Christopher and a sister named Shawna. My mother, Heather, works as the executive director of Leeway Inc. in New Haven, CT. My favorite color is purple and hockey is my favorite sport. Although I can’t play, I enjoy watching. The Mortal Instruments Series is the best book series in my opinion. Star Trek films are my favorite movie series. I always watched the new Star Trek movie in theaters with my mom and brother.

               As a child growing up, I was always friendly and theatrical. Before I even went to school, I was in theater camp. At the age of three, I was the youngest one there. My mom had noticed how I always loved to watch movies and pretend to be the characters. It was fascinating to me I guess. How someone's life could be so different from my own. I understood that it was all fictional, we’ll most of it. Disney movies were the things i could watch all day long. My full attention would be on the scene. I think it was just the fact that the characters seemed so cool to me. Nemo with the nerve to touch the boat (butt) or Cinderella’s bravery to stand up to her evil stepmother. How awesome the characters were was captivating.

From a young age, reading was a passion of mine. When I first went to Pre-K I would never sleep during nap time. I can imagine I was tired but I didn’t trust anyone. Instead of sleeping, during nap time I would look at books or color. I was the only child that didn’t sleep. Therefore since a young age reading books has always been a comfort for me. The only time when I didn't like reading was when it is forced upon me. For example, if its a homework assignment, something my mom demands me to read or something that I didn't choose it makes me not enjoy the book. I am someone who likes having a choice. It makes me feel as if I can direct myself the way I want to. I like doing what I want and not what others tell me unless it's a teacher who I need directing me.

Another one my passions is singing. I am no Whitney Houston but I have confidence in my singing voice. Having a solo is fun but I love being a part of a choir. A group that aspires to do the same as you. We all help each other. Whose voice suits this part or what pitch a person is comfortable in. Plus if someone messes up, the group is right there to save the day.

I am taking this course to become a more well rounded actress. I want to be able to play roles that can make me stand out as a performer. When you act, you're not yourself. You become whatever character you are given. That is your life now, that's who you are in the theater. For me, I like leaving it on stage. I’m not the kind of person who wants to be more like my character in real life good or bad. I like being myself and only that.
