two fridays ago at a thats so raven taping i gave raven a book of self written poetry that she encourage me to write. it wasnt about her or anything its just that she inspires me to get out there and start to do what i love so i did it and i wanted her to be the first to see it. it was about 20 or so poems of diffrent things: love, hurt, death, world issues stuff like that- id written from ages 16-now 21 and now this coming fri im going to the show again but im nervous not cause i think shes going to say something to me but because i dont want her to feel obligated to say somethin to me you know unless she wants to and now its like i almost dont even wanna go cause IM going to be uncomfortable but i love the show and i dont want to miss it.. what do i do?

Well...it depends on if she's the kind of person she seems to be,sweet and respectful.

It's like a gift that you have shared with her,I mean...lemme give you something to read and we'll see if you feel diffrently about going.I say you should go.

By Raven

Some people might think you have to save the world in one try. But I think small.Some people might think you have to save the world in one try. But I think small.

I do charity work to help kids, and I speak to school groups, but I also try at least once a day to help someone in some little way, like give food to a homeless person or give someone a compliment. My mom calls it "a good deed for the day."

I don't know how it does it, I don't know why it does it, but it always makes me feel better. When you actually get out there and help someone, it always gives you a little spark in your day.

Kids especially need to try to make a difference, because we're going to have to run this world one day. We don't want to live in a world where everyone's mad at each other or where there's dirt everywhere. We want to make it better. Start now. Start on Make A Difference Day. Just do one little thing for someone else, and it will spread into something bigger. I know I will be volunteering that day!

Four or five years ago, I met a fan who had gone through some hard times. She was about to fail in school. Her family was living in the projects. She had followed my career and heard me talk about rejection in this business and how you just have to keep your head up. She said, "You really made a difference in my life. I had all these problems, and I just said, 'You know what? I'm going to finally do something for me. If Raven keeps her head up in bad times, so can I.' "

The girl flipped over a whole new card in her life. She got into college and is following her dream. I keep in contact with her, and she's doing well.

Until then, I never thought about the impact I could have. It was so cool. I told her, "Wow, girl! You have a lot more courage than I do!" She took my advice to a whole new level ... I mean, I was just talking about getting rejected from a movie!

I take my own advice more to heart now. That's why it's so exciting and inspiring to be involved with Make A Difference Day. It makes me feel great to be part of that chain of reaching out further and further to do good. If I can inspire someone to take part in Make A Difference Day, it's like I'm helping to feed people at the soup kitchen or build a new home for someone, or whatever it is those 3 million people will choose to do on Saturday, Oct. 25.

To know I might inspire people to go out and do something positive that day -- to know I had even a little part in that -- is just ridiculously amazing.

How do they do visions live?

MarshallMathers · 10-23-2003, 09:14 PM

The director says suddenly Raven has a vision, she does the face and holds it for a few seconds, and then they tell her Raven comes out of the vision. They also do something where she has to look at all the cameras one by one when she has the vision face.

that is exactly right
