Afraid of what could happen to their future and what they will or how they will become this person who tries. Someone who could try one thing, and immediately become infatuated. Misty Copeland is one of those originals. She remembers the day of her first ballet class. She was 13 and sitting in the bleachers overlooking the basketball court.…

Beside her, a man covered in tattoos played some kind of flute, egging on the little woman. Roaming through the crowds were women dressed in little more than bras and panties with sheer skirts that twirled around them and seemed to change color as they juggled flaming orbs and danced provocatively. Men threw swords to each other and…
