Seriously missing pointe shoes and tutus. And all the amazing people that the world of ballet introduced me to. I'm so thankful to have had ballet form me into the person I am today. At times, the studio was the only place in the world that I felt happy and it was the one place I could let go of everything I was thinking about and anxious about and focus on becoming the best dancer I can possibly be. Years ago when I realized that I would never have the legs long enough or body skinny enough to be a ballerina, I thought I would have to end up settling for a job that left me incomplete and bored for the rest of my life. Little did I realize that I would gain a passion for musical theatre where I can use all the technique I learned in the ballet studio toward a different form of art. As I enter into college leaving my home behind for the Big Apple in pursuit of my dream of the stage, I am reflecting on all the things that have impacted me in Mississippi and led me to the path I've chosen. And without a doubt my love for this art form is what sparked it all.
