Dreamah.

"...even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream."-MLK

This was once just a Dream.

We all have or at least should have aspirations right? and people often mentioned what their "dreams" are. I would NEVER put anyone down for having a goal, like NEVER. But I can say that at times I just don't believe people.  Are you really DREAMING or just sitting around all day  thinking about a whole bunch ideas that pop into your head of what you THINK you want to do. Are you in college studying YOUR DREAM???. I challenge you to experiment with yourself and really search  for what you DREAM  of.

Personally when I put on my blog that I'm a "Dreamah." I mean it in every sense of the word. My dreams haunt me on a daily basis constantly reminding me of what I have been put on this earth to do. And the craziest thing is that I'll have dreams of certain things that I physically don't know how to do yet! Weird right? now let me re-assure you that my Dreams are not Fantasies they are reassurance mechanisms that have been placed in me to confirm that it will come true.

As a little girl I dreamed of dancing before I even took a class!, that picture on my blog is of my FIRST day going to a dance/gymnastics camp. Mind you this is before we left, don't know why I chose that pose of all poses, but clearly it's a dance pose. And even after that summer I didn't take classes again til I was 11. But throughout the years I would see myself dancing and performing in front of millions of people. Mind you, NO ONE in my family is in the arts. No one sings, dances, draw like nothing. And during that time in my life, my dad was making me into an all-star athlete! Playing basketball for the county and school, was running cross-country placed in the top 50 in the state, but my DREAMS were in a whole nother world. I wanted to sing , dance , and act for people, and I knew even back then that, THAT was what I was supposed to be doing...I didn't know HOW to do it yet, but soon enough I was going to stumble upon it.

In 5th grade I had the MOST amazing teacher Mrs. Ardise, and she started a tap club at our school. Now me knowing that deep down in my heart that I wanted to dance I quickly joined! It didn't conflict w/ this whole athlete thing I was doing so I was super excited. So I got into tap and I just adored being a mover and moving to specific counts, I NEVER missed Tap Club!! The next year comes around and I finally get enrolled at a dance studio and started taking Tap/Jazz/ and Ballet, mind you I was still playing basketball. Dance was allllll that I could think about tho! While I slept i DANCED, while i ate i DANCED, on the playground i DANCED! I was a dancing fool and I loved it!! And from there my love for it went triple -platinum! I got on a competitive dance team, went to a Performing Arts High School, and even pursued Dance in College. I thank god for Mrs.Ardise for bringing my inner being out of me, because entertaining people is my destiny I know it would of happened in some other way , but I'm happy it happened the way it did. The CRAZIEST thing is that I actually ran into Mrs.Ardise one day at the mall, on my college break and I was SO excited to tell her I was still pursuing dance, and come to find out SHE WENT TO THE SAME COLLEGE AS ME!!!!See how things come full-circle? Here is this woman who truly introduced me to the world of dance, and she just so happened to graduate from the same university as me, where I studied as a Dance Major.

Cant Stop, Wont Stop

Here we are now, and I've been fortunate enough to have amazing opportunities as a dancer. I'm in the city of where dreams are made of, and I'm pursuing my dream. And currently I'm tackling my other dreams of acting and singing. These two disciplines are so scary to me, because I want to be perfect at them, and I want to be able to TRULY label myself an actress and a singer. So EVERY week I take an hour vocal lesson and 2-hour acting lesson. I'm really proud of myself because they are both things I've dreamed of doing and now here I am learning how to do it! My dream is to be an overall performer, and being able to go into ANY audition and be qualified for the position. I see myself on stage doing things I never thought I could do but only Dreamed of. All I know is when I wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night, I'm dreaming about the same thing, I know my talents will reach people all over the world and I wont stop till everyone knows and sees it.

If you have a dream pursue it. Don't ignore it, b/c its not going to go away. It's what you' re suppose to be doing. Attack it head on, even if its something you haven't been doing your whole life. You can train yourself to do anything. Its all mental --urs truly
