“I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them.”― Elizabeth Taylor
Being a little older than most of the students in this class, I've experienced a little bit of the freedom that is to come. I've already worn my gown and cap, I have my high school diploma, and I've applied to, been rejected by, and accepted by Ontario universities. At that point in my past, I was looking at my future, and frankly, that future was something that didn't appeal to me. Living in Toronto, going to a snobby-feeling, crazy dressing school situated in a shoe box way up in the sky, propped up by pencil crayons? Yeah that didn't seem like me, no matter how prestigious OCAD was, or how proud people were of me for getting in. |

So then there comes this quote from the fabulous Liz Taylor, a glamorous, diamond obsessed, much loved and adored old-Hollywood actress who passed away in 2011.

| Elizabeth Taylor, 1932-2011. |
This quote from her really speaks to me because it seems as if the last 5 years of my life have been filled with incredible opportunities, and will continue to be. It encourages me to continue taking those chances and looking behind those doors. I am excited for the future, and it certainly does not scare me. Bring it on, I'm ready.
Karolina, I think you are ready. That's not to say you won't slip and fall a couple times, but there are indeed lots of opportunities awaiting you and I do sense your fearlessness. You can take on the world if you want to. I'll be cheering you on:)
