The atmosphere of the theater made such a huge impression on the girl that she immediately wished to become an actress and began to work hard on herself to achieve her goal.
Eloise actively participated in the work of the school drama circle, in parallel collaborating with the local drama theater. After graduating from school, she was determined to continue her education in the field of dramatic art.
