I Went Away To This Summer Program After My Junior Year Of High School. They Used To Have This Thing Called The Governor's School, And They Had It For Different Disciplines - Science, Math, Performing Arts. I Auditioned And I Got Accepted, And It Was An Eight-week Program Away From Home. I Went For Acting. I Was 15, And I Turned 16 While I Was There, So That Was A Seminal Moment For Me. It Made Me Realize The Life Of It, The Discipline Of It, And The Joy Of That Discipline, Where It Was All We Did.

I Came Back And Decided That I Wanted To Go To College For Acting And Got My Family On Board. My Mom, Who Was A Single Mom, Was A Little Reticent, But I Think After That Summer [in The Governor's School], She Saw A Shift In Me And Realized That It Was Something I Wanted More Than Just A Hobby.
