Kidsday: The thrill of being on TV

I was on the CBS-TV show "A Gifted Man." It's a hospital show, and in that show I played a part of a patient. I had to pretend I was really, really sick and had to cough and sneeze all over the place. Then, when the doctor said, "Next patient," I stood up with my fake mom and my fake sister. But that was only rehearsal. Then, wardrobe had to check my clothes. I had to wear something that someone poor would wear.

I went on set again, but this one was real. When they said "rolling," you had to be quiet or else we had to start all over again. If they said action, you do your part. I felt proud of myself that I at least made it this far and that I'm actually going to be on TV, although I was still really nervous that I would forget a line or make a mistake. I did get to meet a famous person. I got to meet Patrick Wilson, who played the main part of Dr. Michael Holt.

I want to be an actress when I grow up. Ever since I was 2 years old, I've been acting, singing and dancing. It's also fun just getting to meet stars and being able to see yourself on TV.

That was the time I was on "A Gifted Man." I can't wait until I get a call to be in another show.
