I realized that I needed to change the way I managed my time in order to maintain good grades and balance the work in all of my classes. Throughout my four years of high school I didn’t appreciate the daily schedule that had already been planned out for me, but I found myself missing this in my first few weeks in college. My high school was structured in a way…

The ride was incredibly painful, while I may have acted like I enjoyed every part of it; I can honestly admit I did not. Being told that you are good enough to be a part of a company, but that you are simply too young, can hurt an extreme amount. Then, upon returning home from the audition , you let your dance teacher (a person you should be able to trust)…
