I have danced since a very young age. It's always been something I absolutely love to do. As I've grown older, I've learned more about why I actually choose to dance. It isn't just a hobby. It's so much more than that.

Dance to me is a passion. It's a love. It's a lifestyle. You don't just wake up one day and decide that you're going to be a dancer. You can't expect it to come naturally. With some, it does come naturally, but most people have to work their butts off to get to where they wanna be. I have been dancing for more than 10 years to reach the level I am at. I'm nowhere near perfect, nor will I ever be. Dancing has become who I am. It isn't just a part of who I am, it is my entire being.

Ever since I was three, I've dreamt of dancing for a huge company and being able to bow in front of thousands of people who are amazed by what I've accomplished. Even now, that is still my dream. But, unlike when I was little, it's a goal now. A goal that I believe I am capable of achieving. It's not just some hopeless dream that will never happen. I truly believe I can actually reach this goal and pursue my entire life's dream of dancing professionally.

Now, I have earned the opportunity to train for this goal. Going to college to major in dance is just the beginning of rest of my life. Nothing has prepared me for the absolute excitement that I have now.

The Lord has given me the gift of dance, and I am going to pursue that gift in any and every way that I can. I am truly blessed and beyond grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish and everything I will accomplish in the future.
