Who I Am? I'm JaQuez Pearson an upcoming actor.
I was born on the cold night of January 24, 2001 to Taheera Furqan and Kent Pearson. From a young age I was very entertaining. I loved making people laugh and feel happy. Numerous family members told me I should become a actor because I had a unique personality. I always wanted to be on television, I thought it would be fun and cool. I thought it was easy to be an actor. I asked my mom can I be on Disney Channel and she laughed and said it's not that easy sweetie. I would do anything it took because it was my life long dream.
I was told I had natural talent. I never went to an acting school. When I was in 8th grade I actually went to audition for Disney Channel. It was very scary because you got called up individually in front of everyone. You had to perform a skit with the director of Disney Channel . When my name was called my heart dropped. I walked to the front of the room and he asked me if I was ready and I replied yes. He tried to see who would be frightened so he stormed down the aisle towards me citing his lines angrily and It kinda went in slow motion and I said in my head that this is my time to shine.

I cited my lines back to him with even more energy. His face lit up with disbelief. No one else had shown the confidence that I showed. We went back and forth with our lines and finally it was over. When he said scene everyone stood up and applauded. I was really happy and I felt like I did a great job. After everyone went he sat everyone back down and called us up one by one and told us if we did good or not. He called me up and said I did really good and shook my hand. Then after that was over we went into interviews and The told us about everything and the only thing that kept me from going to Florida for scouting was the 1000 dollar fee which we didn't have at the time so sadly I couldn't go but I haven't gave up on my dream and neither should you.
