PBS American Portrait

My American dream is to be famous. Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's so clich." I really want to achieve a level of fame where I have a voice that people will want to listen to. And if I had a big platform, I'd be able to spread my message of love and acceptance and positivity. Uploading videos on TikTok, hoping that they, you know, get famous. My ultimate goal is to reach at least a million followers. I love interacting with people. I love inspiring people. Knowing that I could be changing someone else's life is way more important to me than any amount of hate comments that I do get. If I can offer a slice of positivity to someone who is struggling, I've done my job. That's been my biggest goal this entire time. It means the world to me that at least somewhere, I have a voice. I've been able to connect with, inspire, and be inspired by thousands of other people. To entertain, to inspire, to uplift, to challenge, and to connect. To try to make all my dreams come true. I see myself in the future filling out arenas. I just wanna be able to impact the world, leave something, like a little mark, even if it's a little scratch. And quite frankly, I just don't wanna be forgotten. I just want to be remembered as the one and only me.
