Fame by Hannah

What would you be famous for? 
I would want to be famous for singing. I like to sing so that would be something I would want to be famous for and I could probably date Niall Horan from One Direction.


What are the trade offs for fame? It would be hard to be a mom.

Fame by Emily

If I were famous, I would probably be an actress. I could possibly be famous, but I wouldn't want to be very famous. People who are really famous get criticized a lot. Anybody who's that famous is always criticized, no matter how good or bad they are.
