Dance auditions came and went, and I've been left empty handed. In my mind I had a decent shot, which makes the disappointment even greater. However, I think back on my dance career and realize this is how it was meant to be. I have always been the underdog, and I identify with that. While I started dancing at 14, everyone around me started dancing at 4, and ever since then I've been trying to play catch up. Having to work harder than everyone else to get the same result has been the story of my life, weather it was in school or dance or life in general. But being the underdog has taught me how to take criticism and how to fight, which is what I'm going to have to do now.
I didn't get to where I am today because I had beautiful feet, I'm where I am today because of my passion and drive, which is something that is hard for the judges to see, especially when you're surrounded by gorgeous women with beautiful feet. I may have to take 8 no's before I get the 'yes' of my dreams, and like my best friend told me; don't forget that Micheal Jordon got cut from his high school basketball team. I'm going to take a note from Mr. Jordon's book and keep training, practicing, and fighting, because when it comes down to it, that's all I know.
