- [00:00:00.420][music]
- [00:00:02.460]Everybody's got a sound track playing in their heads,
- [00:00:04.884]the sound track to their life.
- [00:00:06.860]I first discovered my love of art from elementary school,
- [00:00:09.708]little projects we had to do with ginger bread cookies.
- [00:00:12.540]I am always dancing, really.
- [00:00:17.251]When my parents found out that I wanted to go into acting
- [00:00:19.628]they thought I was crazy.
- [00:00:21.252]In the end, you have to know that that's what you
- [00:00:23.812]want to do and that you're gonna work for it.
- [00:00:26.148]When the lights come on, it's a moment when I
- [00:00:29.580]can't even breathe for a second.
- [00:00:31.084]I love the process of finding a location, golden hour
- [00:00:35.084]when the light's just perfect and trying to capture that
- [00:00:37.460]in a photograph.
- [00:00:39.180]Dancers definitely have to be very strong.
- [00:00:42.196]I'm working on it.
- [00:00:44.428]My dream job is to be in Cirque du Soleil.
- [00:00:46.412]I want to be one of the guys that's on the wires,
- [00:00:48.892]that's running up the wall inverted.
- [00:00:50.948]Music is the glue in my life.
- [00:00:53.924]It keeps everything together
- [00:00:55.396]when I think that everything's going to fall apart.
- [00:00:58.604]The university has been around since 1869
- [00:01:00.820]so you're surrounded on campus and off by historic sites.
- [00:01:04.716]It's so dynamic, there's tons of different types of architecture.
- [00:01:08.228]It's kind of a photographer's paradise.
- [00:01:10.996]I would say that Lincoln's a lively city.
- [00:01:13.660]We love to go out to restaurants, just have a good time,
- [00:01:15.828]have a nice dinner.
- [00:01:16.956]The incredible shows that they bring here and the
- [00:01:19.724]phenomenal dancers who have been on this stage:
- [00:01:22.324]love it.
- [00:01:23.732]At Nebraska, I never thought that I'd have the opportunity to
- [00:01:26.068]go out and meet big people in the business.
- [00:01:28.508]But already in two years, I've traveled to China and New York
- [00:01:32.500]and I've been able to meet these kinds of people and
- [00:01:34.620]that's been invaluable.
- [00:01:36.900]The program at UNL is built in a way to help me become
- [00:01:40.036]a professional practicing artist.
- [00:01:43.188]You want to be a Hollywood actor you can do that because
- [00:01:45.836]the training here gives you the tools you need to go out
- [00:01:48.780]and keep learning, keep improving until you get to where you want to be.
- [00:01:52.108]I really wouldn't have this kind of experience anywhere else.
- [00:01:54.932]When I was looking at colleges I just kept coming back
- [00:01:57.948]to the University of Nebraska.
- [00:01:59.612]Here I can stand out and be someone.
- [00:02:03.388]So at the end of the day,
- [00:02:04.268]there really was no other choice.
