Guys! I started shooting for Rolling with Emma the TV show, coming 2017 … just kidding! (I wish though!)
But I did get to be a movie star for a couple hours. The University of Washington has been putting something together called the Empowerment Project to get information out to people with spinal cord injuries. I have starred in three of their videos – two on respiratory management and the latest on hand function. As many of you know I love volunteering my time to help those with injuries similar to mine.
As far as being in front of the camera goes … man is it awkward. While my mom says I seemed totally natural and comfortable, I did not feel that way at all. I couldn’t stop giggling, smiling, stumbling over my words, and saying “umm.”
I’ve only shown the finished videos to my mom, dad, brother, and boyfriend – I made them promise not to laugh before I sent them the links. I haven’t even been able to watch the videos myself because I am so embarrassed of how corny I act (your typical educational video). The other night I heard my dad listening to one of the videos in the other room and I yelled at him, “turn it down! I can hear myself!”
And to think I actually want a reality show where there would be WAY more cameras and people staring at me. Plus I wouldn’t even be able to watch the episodes. I do not know how those Kardashians do it.
