College...Most of my friends went to college and became part of sororities or fraternities. Not me. I went to a performing arts college. I actually had a ballet class at 8:00am. 8:00am????? Are you kidding me?Who in their right mind can function at 8:00am, let alone plie...jete...and work your ass off. Well, I did. Let's just say that this is what I needed to stay focused. I sure wasn't going to part the night before an 8:00am Ballet class.
These girls in my class were amazing. I was accepted in the program more from my essay in explaining the passion i had for the arts other then my audition (which did not go so well). I grew up taking 1 ballet class a week and then in high school I took Jazz. It wasn't until senior year in High School that I even attempted tap. these other girls in came from dancing everyday. Basically, I had a lot of catching up to do, and many hours of hard work and dedication ahead of me. I was even told that I would be re-evaluated at the end of my first year. I had to step it up or I would no longer be able to stay at the University. It was a challenge, but I thrived on challenges. I needed to prove to the instructors that I could succeed in this Field, but mostly I had to prove it to my self.
"Don't try to be better then everyone else...be better then yourself" This was a quote that Mikail Baryshnikov said and I still say this to myself.
