I almost became a child actress. I was learning the lines for a role and made it to the top two but they picked another girl because she was a few years older than me​

I used to play violin, and I almost made it into an elite string orchestra, but unfortunately the orchestra was local to my previous state and I couldn't join after all bc of my move up here.

I was so close to purchasing a PS5 console on release day in November 2020, but the website prevented me from hitting the 'Place Order' button because it was likely flooded with other orders prior to mine and I could not.

For those who do not know, this was because of the console shortage.

Similar to yours actually
I was (or my mom technically) was approached by two different modeling agencies when I was younger who were interested in me for child modeling. But even though I liked the idea she always told them no
I mean I understand now, but I think it could have been beneficial for me in some ways.

I feel like personally acting could have definitely helped my social skills but at the same time the pressure around child actors/models is insane

I know a kid who did some acting as a kid, got a supporting role in a major award-winning movie currently in an ivy league
granted they didn't do much acting so to focus on school after middle school and weren't exactly one of those super popular kids but they were very articulate, very intelligent, and a brilliant writer
