I auditioned for Juilliard in 2003 and I was reliving my experience with you! Great Job! It truly is a priceless experience!

[@WinReviews]

My Lovlee Life it really is priceless! thanks for watching :) x

[@TheNikkiCoo]

I think you're so beautiful and your aura is so captivating. I hope you're doing what you love! xx

[@WinReviews]

TheNikkiCoo thank you so much for that comment :) and thanks for taking the time to watch my video! x

[@lizhenry5783]

I really admire your outlook on life. There are a lot of people who I'm sure would have been crushed by an experience like yours. You were able to look at it in a positive way, and I'm sure this type of outlook will make you a success no matter what you end up doing!! Thanks for sharing your experience!!

[@WinReviews]

That was such a lovely thing to say. Thank you very much Elizabeth!

[@216Vonnie]

I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE 💪🏽. Sis you are a breath of fresh air.

[@javionfaya]

I can't remember how many times I watched this video. I found it on the web last year and still think you're really talented and inspiring. It was such a good speech and I truly wish you have success in the artistic world, as you deserve.

[@WinReviews]

+Javier Fernando That was so nice of you to say thank you very much!

[@msg1818]

I am so proud of you. My child auditioned for Juilliard this year, so I really understand and empathize with you. Your encouragement to others speaks volumes of you.

[@WinReviews]

+Ms G Thank you very much for those kind words! I wish your child luck and thanks for watching!

[@EricMPeek]

I just scheduled my audition in Chicago for February 4th and I really want to make sure I have everything prepared and have it as professional as it can be for my audition. After watching this I’ve realized that I’m not the only person who feels like this is a lot of pressure and is kind of going a little crazy while trying to make sure everything is set up perfectly. This gave me hope and calmed my nerves so thank you very much!

[@residentalien2758]

Wow! I admire your determination! Many Love!

[@WinReviews]

Dear Amy G for some reason it won't let me reply to your message directly so I hope you see this! I just wanted to clarify something I felt that the pieces I did were not right- I felt that they didn't like what I chose/ performed (this was just my own feelings about it). There is no way to 100% know what type of piece they are looking for (or the reaction to it unless they give you feedback) because each director (or judge as i like to call them lol) has different preferences. They could have liked the speech but felt it didn't suit me, they could have heard the same pieces 5 times before me... the reasons are endless. All I can say is I think they wanted to see something lighter from me (I remember them making a comment like that) but you should always go with something that you feel good and strong in and a speech that you can really connect too because whats right for one person may be completely wrong for another one! Oh and defo choose pieces that are contrasting in tone/ emotion/ character etc... Does all that make sense?

[@WinReviews]

Dear Rachel zsz, They do make all the students auditioning for the drama program sing unfortunately :( I felt exactly how u feel (I do NOT feel comfortable singing in front of anyone lmao) but they say they want to hear you sing to see how you can tell a story through a song and blahh lol. I don't think they are looking for some Whitney Houston/ Mariah Carey voice but if you are really not feeling confident- which I defo felt like last year, just get some singing lessons so you can work on some technique and sound decent in a song. I felt like I would never be able to sing in an audition, I have always avoided it but ever since I had a few singing lessons last year it gave me the confidence to whip out a VERY short song in auditions if asked haha. Hope that helps! If you live in London I can recommend a teacher to you!?!

I'm really impressed ... I imagine how stressful this audition can be and seeing you saying you did your best, and how you saved money to travel to NYC ... WOW. Reading the same page five times = totally me x) Anyway, I just wanted to say that I admire what you accomplished just by getting there and hope you'll find another art school or company which will accept you. Or if you take another chance this year, things will work !!

[@WinReviews]

Laïka Smile thank you for your comments- they were lovely and I am auditioning again this year but to London schools... however applying for juilliard again in september is something im defo considering lol despite the craziness attached to it haha. Thanks for watching!

I'm glad to hear it :) ! Yeah that's right ... Juilliard is like a dream, lol. I want to apply too but in dance section. Maybe in 2 years.

[@WinReviews]

Laïka Smile ohhhh ok well good luck and yes juilliard defiantly feels like a dream!!

[@nmihnea2630]

Really cool and raw review, no sugar coating like most of the things I ve found.

[@WinReviews]

Thank you very much and thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@selinarocha1173]

I love listening to you talk! I have to literally beat the crap out of my own brain and tell it to dream bigger I am worth it. Congratulations on pursuing your dreams! I am currently pursuing acting also!😆 “McAllister: “Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams and I’ll show you a happy man.”

+Selina Rocha Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Good luck with acting :)

[@niamhmccormac1840]

what age are you if you don't mind me asking?? And honestly you are incredible your personality is amazing and I don't think you should give up Juilliard, also you should defiantly upload more monologues as I think you are very talented and I would be interested in them and would love some ideas!!

[@WinReviews]

Hello girlygirl14rulez I wasn't sure at first but i have just checked their site and they say 'the Actor Training Program will accept a total of 18 students for all degree levels. This group of 18 actors will be comprised of 8-10 undergraduates and 8-10 graduates, who will work through the four-year acting curriculum together as a group.' The classes/ amount of students are crazy small (in my opinion), have you applied?

[@xxcollinatorxxx]

You said the pieces you performed weren't what juilliard wanted, so what type of pieces do you think they would want?

[@ejaniia]

What pieces did you perform? What song? :)

[@iLastStar]

WOW. That's all i could say. Thank-you for uploading this video and sharing your experience with us. It was really very.. lol im speechless again... I've got to say, youre a very determined person with a strong will and that is a great quality! You managed to pull through and tried your best and that is very inspiring. You're an incredible person and once again, thank-you for giving me insight into what it's like to apply to such prestigious drama schools. I didnt apply this year, and thus now i'm not eligible for this coming fall 2015, but i will apply next year for 2016's acting program and hope for the best. By the way, how are you doing now?

[@emonael5851]

Son M did u get in?

[@iLastStar]

I actually didn't apply. An art school I applied for where I am I did, and my audition is on the 27th of August for a four-year bachelor of Art's program. Do wish me luck! :)

[@WinReviews]

Son M Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I thought I replied to this agess ago! I got into Rose Bruford drama school on their foundation course :) which I am very excited about... I think I am still in shock about it! Good luck with your auditions for Juilliard! Are you applying to any other schools this year? Once again I am SO sorry for the late reply!

[@iLastStar]

WinReviews you should probably reread this post aha. I didn't ask, it was Emonae

[@WinReviews]

lool my bad! Oops!

[@cjbalagbag3378]

This is a few years later but by any chance does it matter what song I sing like does it have to be based towards the monologues I do or can it be a song that I feel confident and comfortable in singing if you get what I mean

[@WinReviews]

Hi there, the song doesn't have to be based on the monologues but they may want it from a musical so I would say check their website for the exact details! Good luck! 😊🤞🏾

[@emilybonilla7206]

I'm interested in going. But so scared and nervous. And probably won't even get looked at. Only recently I discovered my love for drama, but I'm already out of high school. And have no experience. So that makes me scared. But why a song? Just curious. I'm so intimidated by it all

[@serenitybeats1677]

Where are u now

[@WinReviews]

Hey Emily, I understand you're scared but if you don't try you will never know- its NEVER too late.., cheesy but true! As for the song I think they want to see how you tell a story through singing and they want to get a sense of your vocal abilities but if you are applying for the acting course I am sure they are not expecting you to sound like Mariah Carey :)

[@lilyilylilyily]

you have the best personality, you remind me of my cousin lol

[@WinReviews]

Awww thank you so much!

[@savera8028]

Hiii I love your video, I just want to ask a question about applying, (sorry if it sounds stupid) but what age were you when you applied cause I'm close to doing my GCSEs and after that thinking about going to sixth form and then university, but I'm not sure (again it might sound really obvious) when I would apply, would it be after sixth form or before it?

[@WinReviews]

Heyyy Savera I was 22 or 23 when I applied for Juilliard! And to be honest I am not sure when it is best to apply I assume around September to December but I would say defo check the website and see what that tells you! I wish you the best if luck with your application 😊🤞🏾 let me know how you get on! And thank you very much for watching!

[@savera8028]

WinReviews Thank you so much!!! I love all your videos btw!!❤️❤️☺️

[@WinReviews]

@@savera8028 No problem! I wish I could give you more info but I know the website will give you the proper facts! And that is really nice of you to say thank you!

[@callievice8443]

I'm audition for Juilliard in January. I am so freaking nervous I feel like your review on the audition process is the most real out of all of them. thank you for posting. I do have one question and this is like giving me anxiety. when you go into the audition and you are on the stage. Do they say ' alright when ever you are ready' or do they just expect you to go in and do your monologues? I know this is a weird thing to have anxiety about but lol it seriously gives me anxiety.

[@WinReviews]

It not a stupid question.. your just worried! I cannot tell you how many emails I sent their admissions before I went out there haha so there's no judgment from me about questions! Anyways they checked my name and asked what pieces I was doing then said 'whenever ur ready'. Oh and it's not a stage its a BIGGGG room! I really appreciate you comments :) and if u have any other questions please feel free to drop me a message and good luck!!!

[@callievice8443]

thank you so much. if I have anymore questions I will definitely ask you. ((:

[@Aubreyluvssoccer]

Hello! I love you video but I have one question! What should i wear!?!?!? I go this Saturday Im stressing out!!

[@WinReviews]

+aubrey clark This is a late reply (sorry ) what did you end up wearing? I hope it went well!

[@Celine-pd8mw]

do they make u do Both the contemporary and both the classical or one of each?

[@WinReviews]

I think it depends who you have on the panel... They could ask to see all or a few so I would say have all your speeches and song equally on point!

[@khadeejaomar1461]

Hi im a freshman in high school and I love acting. I really need to develop my skills and become a very ambitious hardworking person. I have been thinking about Juilliard and how maybe in the future I will audition. I would love to go to Juilliard do you have some advice for me to prepare for all this? it is my goal.

[@WinReviews]

Khadeeja Omar My advice would be to defoooo leave yourself ALOT of time for the application process and if your an international student you will have to have pre screening videos so consider what pieces you want to perform early! I would also say (and its probably said too much lol) choose speeches that are close to your age/accent btw when I say age I mean playing age :) and as for the accent thing do a speech in your natural voice... I made the cringing mistake of trying to do a DEEP southern american accent in an audition... and the outcome wasn't pretty lol. Be yourself (i know cheesy but true) and have fun- at the end of the day you have spent weeks/ months/ agessss preparing for your audition AND paid for it so remember you deserve to be there! I hope that helps and good luck with Juilliard and any other drama courses that you apply for :) oh and feel free to drop me another message if you need help... us drama peeps need to stick together haha :D

[@truecrime_doc]

I'm really glad that you made this video. Did you ever audition again?

[@WinReviews]

Thanks :) and no I didn't audition again are you auditioning this year?

[@truecrime_doc]

I am in the beginning of next year. Any tips

[@WinReviews]

Good Luck :) and I give audition tips in my new vlog- kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJjWaH2CgNOhhtk but I would always say just try and enjoy the process and choose speeches you really connect with and that are contrasting in tones, themes etc. Hope that helps!

[@elizabeth.1905]

Does the drama /theatre/acting program has vocal coaching , singing ,musical theatre , anything like that , or only opera-ish songs , please I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP i can't find this kind of information anywhere 😰, thank you.

[@WinReviews]

Do you mean what type of song you should sing for the audition or what type of singing/vocal training you will get through the acting program?

[@elizabeth.1905]

The 2nd one , What type of vocal training i would get through the acting program :)

[@WinReviews]

Omg this is suchhh a late reply sorry I was checking through comments and saw I did not reply to this. I am hoping you would have found this out by now but just in case if you look on their website or email the school I am sure they can give you a course outline on the vocal training! But I would assume that you would have regular singing lessons in groups and one on one and they would just try and help you to get you voice in a decent/ strong place but are not expecting you to turn into Whitney Housten!

[@khalidomar4295]

omg im in love with your personality, i watched your video about twice. urrm im from london and i literally just finished my application for the juilliard school like a week ago and just sent my pre screening video, the video just took the piss it took 4 days to upload i had to leave it overnight. when you applied you did it in 2013 right? coz u can apply again this year although the deadline is on monday. thanks

[@WinReviews]

Thank u very much for watching twice haha and the uploading time was sooo bad and I ended up emailing them about it because I thought there was actually a problem with my footage! and yes I applied in 2013 for the 2014 course. I am not going to apply to juilliard this year, I think I am going to focus more on the UK drama schools this year but I wish you all the best of luck with your application :)

[@iLastStar]

WinReviews so what are you doing now?

[@zoyeburns6675]

Hi! I'm Zoye and i'm about to turn 15 in less than 2 months now and it's always been my dream to go to Juilliard. I can act,dance but I only can sing alone because i don't think my voice is good enough. (Let me get to the point! XD) Is the singing part of your audition is required?? because if so....im screwed.

[@jumanjisimpsontwo5643]

Zoye Burns Yes, you need to sing, but this is only so they can see your range and abilities, it doesn't hinder you if you can't sing. If you sing a song and sing it badly but appear confident, that would show that you have the confidence required to do anything on the stage.

[@WinReviews]

Zoye Burns For some reason I did not see your comment but I did see Jumanji'd comment, so sorry for the late reply! And what they said is defo true they just want to see how you express yourself through song! so dont worry if you are not a strong singer! Good Luck with your audition! 😊🖒🖒

[@xaynecharlson8709]

For the audition; the 4 pieces they asked you to perform, do you have to memorize it (know it off your head) or were you allowed to look at a script ?

[@WinReviews]

+wayne charles You have to know all 4 pieces! I'm afraid they will not be happy with you looking at the script.

[@xaynecharlson8709]

Okay cool, thanks

[@WinReviews]

You're Welcome!

Were you already in a college and just transferring or were you just working with the acting coach?

No I wasn't in any college or Uni i was just working with an acting coach/mentor.

[@lifeofri5308]

Hey, what Monologues and song did you perform?

[@WinReviews]

+Rianne B My modern speech was from a played called the adoption papers and my classical was a speech by Cressida from Troilus and Cressida!

[@ninahempel2662]

Hi, this video was so helpful thank you so much for doing it! I just have a question because I couldn't really find many informations on the Juilliard internet page; at what age can you apply for it? Thank you so much for your help!

[@WinReviews]

Heyyy, thank you for watching! And I just checked their page and they say: The School does not set a minimum or maximum age limit (with the exception of Dance and the Artist Diploma in Opera Studies; please see those sections above for more information). In general, however, the faculty and the Committee on Admissions will give preference to students in the formative stages of their performance careers who will benefit most from the type of training available at Juilliard. I hope that helps and good luck :)

[@ninahempel2662]

+WinReviews thank you so much! It did helped a lot☺️

[@WinReviews]

You're welcome :) good luck!

[@girlygirl14rulez]

How many people do they select for their drama program for undergrad?

[@nijelly1145]

Hi I'm Niahjel, I'm auditioning this month on the 23rd, wanted to start of by saying really helpful video, it's really appreciated, I just wanted to know approx how many names were called back?

[@WinReviews]

Nijelly I'm afraid I have to be honest here- I don't remember how many names were on that list! I know it wasn't many.. if i were to guess it would be less than 10! sorry :( are you going for the acting course? good luck with your audition!!!!!!!!

[@nijelly1145]

Yes I am, and woaaaaaaa that just made me even more nervous, only around 10!! And thanks

[@WinReviews]

Nijelly but u need to remember that list of around 10 was just MY audition they cld have taken way more/less on the other days! but i hear you- its soooooooo nerve racking! I wish u all the best :)

[@hotmout]

Hey! I don’t know if you’ll be able to reply to this, but for your video audition, did you do it in your own accent or in an American accent? Thanks! X

[@WinReviews]

Hi Shaniah, I did it in my own accent. I think they normally prefer that! Are you thinking of doing a general American accent for your audition?

[@hotmout]

Thank you for the quick reply! I was thinking about it! I thought that it might be good to show that I am capable of it. Do you think I should save that for the later audition when you have to remember two modern monologues?

[@WinReviews]

@@hotmout I always say go with your gut and check their website they might mention something about accents! In my experience, for auditions I would always hear how they prefer your native accent but that is my personal opinion so defo do some investigation.... Do you have an acting coach or teacher you can show your speeches too?

[@WinReviews]

Hey Niamh it wont let me directly reply to your comment! I am 23 years old (to answer your previous question) and thanks for your comments and for watching my monologue. I was thinking of uploading more monologues and I am defo going to upload more vlogs about my experiences in/with acting. So please watch this space :)

[@purple4now]

Sorry I'm like stalking you in the comments, lol. I'm also 23! And always wondering if I should feel self-conscious about how old I am. I can't tell you how good these videos are making me feel--thank you again!

[@WinReviews]

Anna R i'm not gonna lie those thoughts have crossed my mind! When I was in my Guildhall audition I was surrounded by 17/18 year olds that were still in college/school and i was like s*** how am I one of the oldest chicks up in this place haha. But at the end of the day age really isn't a big deal AT all! It's all about your talent, personality and blahhh lol its not as if we are collecting our pensions anytime soon.. thank golly :) AND thank U for taking the time to watch this! Are you applying to drama schools this year?

[@purple4now]

I am! This is my first time, so I'm only applying to RADA and LAMDA--giving it my all, but not expecting anything my first year. For a lot of reasons (that would take a while to explain) Sept 2015 isn't the BEST time for me to enroll, but I wanted to get the ball rolling. I'm in a similar situation to you, but the opposite--I'm a US resident trying to go to UK schools, so it's an expensive process to audition. Luckily most of the first auditions are in NY (still about 5 hours from where I am), but all recalls are in the UK, so I didn't want to apply to 5 schools this year then have to either turn down recalls for lack of money or not be 100% into the school but take an offer just because I get it and would be too excited to turn it down. This is complicated stuff, haha. And yes, we may be old ladies, but it shouldn't be worrying! We have life experience and have been through shit. I was recently looking into one of my fav new actors, James Norton, who happened to go to RADA when he was 23 or 24, and that helped me feel better about it. I think in the US it's unusual though, so if you're auditioning at Juilliard and everyone is 17 don't be discouraged. :) Hope to see you in NY this spring! :D

[@WinReviews]

Anna R good luck with RADA and LAMDA let me know how u gt on with them :) and i reallyyyyy hope to be bk in NY then! I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us!

[@brandonprine9421]

Wait so for their Drama program you have to be able to sing?

[@WinReviews]

+Cosmic Brandon No you don't need go sing, I think hey just want to see how you express yourself through song.

[@1love06]

where else are you applying? and could you recommend any Drama tutor or course? Thanks :)

[@WinReviews]

Earlier on this year I applied to LAMDA, Central (and you obviously know about Juilliard) and Guildhall. As for this year I am still deciding which schools to apply for! To be honest my drama tutor was a friend/ co worker of mine and I consider her more of a mentor so I am not sure where to find a drama tutor- sorry.. I was just VERY lucky to find someone who had acting experience and was willing to help me get through my drama school auditions!! As for courses it depends what your looking for- acting, musical theatre, foundation course or the full BA course... either way I would take my time looking over each course description and see which one appeals to you. What type of course are you looking for?

[@1love06]

Hey :) So have you got any auditions still to come? I have a few Drama tutors but they charge a hefty exorbitant amount. I'm looking for a BA course in acting. I have not been acting long and consider myself a newbie. I had a tutor from Guildhall and he was good. Apart from that I will be applying by next month to all the Drama schools in the U.K and I was thinking of filling the common application but I have doubts. Nonetheless, seeing you travel all the way to America has given me some strength. Was applying to Juilliard done via The Common application? :)

[@WinReviews]

Zaman Shah Heyyy, I don't have any at the moment but I do want to start applying to drama schools again this christmas! Oh and as for the Common application I didn't apply to Juilliard or any of my schools through them I applied directly through the school's websites or through UCAS. And I am glad you seem to have found my vlog useful :) and as for the drama tutor if you are finding it a bit expensive (which is COMPLETELY fair play lol) do you have any drama buddies or know any actors with some experience ORRR have a former drama teacher that can watch your pieces and give you constructive feedback?

[@vishakasivamani7649]

i really love drama and i am looking forward to enroll in it in the future and i need advice i have already started my first step by participating in dramas and i am happy that i get lead roles and my next step is to graduate high school and get into juilliard then go towards my dream as an actor . i really need advice

[@WinReviews]

Hi there, I am a bit confused on what you need advice on, is it about applying for Juilliard?

[@vishakasivamani7649]

@@WinReviews yes and also can you tell me how u got invited and and what type of monologues you used and how did you like prepare and stuff

[@callievice8443]

I would message you but I don't have a clue on how to do that since KZbin has updated lol But these are my last questions I promise lol Do you have to present your monologues? if so how do you present them? And do they want you to move around? Or is it more of stand on the x and stay there kind of thing.

[@WinReviews]

Callie Vice I have JUST seen this message. I don't know how I missed it sorry Callie! You may ask as many questions as you want dude :) and they may ask you to present it, they might not. They did ask for another shakespeare monologue so i gave them cressida from Troilus and Cressida (i literally just said- this is cressida's speech from troilus and cressida). But they asked us to write the name of our speeches down so they might just go- which speech do you want to do first contemporary or classical? But just to be clear be prepared to say this- (for example) My classical monolgue is Adrianna's speech from A Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare ( but they will probably know all the shakespeare ones haha). Oh and they said we could use any space behind a specific point in the room (i think it was a faint line on the floor or something like that) but you can defo move around if that's what your speech needs! Oh and another oh lol your audition will probably be in a BIGG ASS room so just be prepared for that too! When is your audition?

[@callievice8443]

WinReviews My audition is this sunday the 25th. I am very nervous just cause i am not very experienced with this kind of thing. So i have no idea what to expect. You don't know how helpful you have been. I mean you are my life savior at this point. (: i figured they might go over all this but just incase they just expect us to know i wanted to know before hand. I'm not working with any big people i am doing this all on my own so i am terrified. lol

[@WinReviews]

Callie Vice im glad i was of some help! And i know how u feel!!! Btw they will defo go over these types of things in the beginning of the audition so you don't need to try and memorise everything except ur monologues. (obviously lol). Are you auditioning for any other schools?

[@callievice8443]

Thank you so much. I was so worried. lol No this is the only school i am auditioning for. I'm taking it one step at a time kind of thing. I'm so nervous about this one i don't think i could handle audition for more at this time. LOL

Heyy :) I recorded it in this studio in south london- this company called somewhereto give performance spaces to young people for free! So I was very lucky- I did not have to pay a crazy amount for the studio :) do you live in London? As for international students I'm not sure how many where there because we (international students) where mixed together with people that where auditioning (and I should also say lived) in america. For my monologues I did Andrianna's speech from A Comedy of Errors and my contemporary speech was from a play called The Adoption Papers! I hope that helps :) and good luck with your audition!!!!

What monologues did u choose?

[@WinReviews]

Hi there, I did a speech by Paulina from A Winter's Tale and a modern speech from Jackie Kays Adoption Papers which looking back I don't think was right for an audition speech but what's done is done and I learnt sooo much from this experience! You thinking of applying to Juilliard?

[@paulazuzunagag]

Hey! did you audition to juilliard in 2015???

after julliard then what ??

[@WinReviews]

Well after Juilliard I auditioned the following year and got onto the Rose Bruford foundation course.. is that what you meant- what happened with drama schools or my general acting experiences?

[@magdalenahopeful8193]

How is a 'normal' person able to pay for schools like Juilliard? I'm 16 years old, and have been trying to find the right school for years now, (UK mainly though) the thing is just that most Uni's where I live are free or have a really small fee (so that you don't have to be rich to study what you love..) , that's why parents don't ever really save up thousands and thousands of euros to give to their children for Uni fees. And it makes me feel really bad to think about the fact that students at such a 'young' age already have to take out a loan of so many thousand pounds, dollars to pay for Uni.. How do people do that? There is nothing that I want more than becoming an actress and to study in the UK but it scares me to think about it... There is no way that I could pay like 40000 Pounds for a single year.. Are all of the drama students' parents rich?! (Sorry for grammar & spelling mistakes..lol)

[@WinReviews]

+Magdalena Hopeful You don't need to apologise your grammar is probably better than mine :p and with Juilliard I was looking for a scholarship or bursary of some kind that's the only way I could afford it! Where are you from? And it does suck that at a young age we have to take out loans but if you don't have parents that can afford it you have no choice :( I have to agree with you the money issue can be scary but you can't let it stop you- you have to at least audition and try to find another way in!

[@magdalenahopeful8193]

WinReviews Haha thanks :D Yeah, a scholarship would be quite cool but I think only a really small group of students get one each year, or do they give them to more students? I'm from Austria but after graduation I'll hopefully be able to move to London, it's such an amazing city and you know how they say that home is where your heart is? My heart definitely belongs to London, and the UK in general, never before I have met so many friendly and lovely people like there.. sorry, if I get started on London I kinda can't stop anymore :'D And I definitely wont let it stop me, nothing could ever stop me from pursuing my dream. Thank you for replying and I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey! xx.

[@WinReviews]

+Magdalena Hopeful Scholarships are out there I just don't think there are many :( :( and i wish you all the best of luck too!!! I really appreciate you watching! x x
