In My Words, by Angelique
What I liked best at the Real Girls in Real Life Film Institutes was playing with the video cameras, making bracelets and going to the zoo. It was fun for me to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. It was really nervous when I had to read the “I am a Real Girl Monologue” to the camera. We made collages, put on make up and did each others hair, made party hats, drawing in our notebooks and being hyper. We talked about what beauty is, commercials and what makes us all unique. I would definitely come back next year.
