You can do anything you want, even if you are being told negative things.stay strong and find motivation.

Going on stage and transcending the audience and becoming this otherworldly thing makes you a dancer. It's not so black and white.

Take advantage of the resources around you and the relationships you build!

I think that I'm so fortunate to have found classical ballet. It completely changed my life and it shaped the person that I am today, on and off the stage.

Maybe I'm seeing myself in a different way than the people in the audience see me, 'cause to me, I think I look like a ballerina and I feel like a ballerina. But maybe I'm not seeing what other people are seeing.

I try my best to really think about things before I react and respond.

I remind myself everyday just how lucky I am to do what I love! I feel so fortunate and I'm just trying to take my life one day at a time.
