Reading Journal 5:Biography on Raven-Symone.

Today i read a bio on Raven-Symone. It was actually really interesting. I learned that her birthday is Decenber 10th, she was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and that her full name is Raven-Symone Christina Pearman. When going over the first part of the bio, i learned that Raven had auditioned for a Bill Cosby movie called "Ghost Dad" but was to young for she was too young for the part. Fortunately for her, Bill Cosby liked her so much he gave her a part on his show as many of you know is Olivia, his grand-daughter. She played that role until the show went off air.

Later, she played in "The Little Rascals" and "Dr. Dolittle" both the first and second. Also, as pretty much everyone knows, she played as a struggling teen trying to become famous with her 3 friends in the movie "The Cheetah Girls". She also has her own show on Disney Channel called thats so Raven, one that my dad makes fun of all the time lol. That show has become very popular which has kept her busy over the past few years. Also with her newest movie "College Road Trip", which in my opinion was very funny.

I think it was really cool to read about Raven Symone because she is someone i can look up to who hasn't yet "turned bad" like many of the other famous pop-stars have. Also because it helps me to learn different aspects of black history :)
