A Girl's Journey To Julliard Part One

I dreamed of going to Julliard ever since I was little and could walk. My parents noticed that when I was five years old, that I had a real talent for dancing and acting. My mom would take me to a kids theater not too far from where we lived in Colorado. I remember I would be in most plays and musicals but either as a dancer or someone who had a small part as a daughter to a rich person, or I played a tree in a different play. I was scared at my audition when I was six because this wasn't a play about doing stuff that a five year old kid would get to do. I felt nervous and I was trying to figure out what I would sing because at this audition you had to sing. I actually broke down and cried because when I tried to sing, I froze and some of the other girls much older than me at the time, laughed at me. They laughed at me, because I was frozen. I was frozen and ran off stage and my mom wrapped her arms around me and stroked my hair and then lifted my chin up and told me not to worry. She said to me that I can do this and be proud of myself for being able to earn an audition at children's theater in New York. You see when I was five we moved from Colorado and moved to New York on my sixth birthday. So take it to now when I'm at the audition, I get a hold of myself and I walk back out on the stage with confidence. I sing a song that my mom sang to me since I was little and the casting director gave me positive criticism that will help me in the real world when I get older. The casting director asked me what I wanted to do when I get older and I told him that I wanted to go to Julliard and be a dancer and actress.  The casting director told me that I am going to get my chance and bigger things will happen when they're supposed to happen. Alright, I guess you're wondering where is my dad in this picture. Well my dad has always been in my life and up till now as I continued to grow up and go to wonderful christian schools I noticed that things at home weren't great. If we flash back to the year 2013 that was when my dad who used to be an accountant would be happy but in reality it was going to be difficult. When I say it was going to be difficult, I mean that was the year that things for my mom, my dad, and I started going downhill. I was doing what any kid would do, being at home doing my own thing and then all of a sudden my dad started throwing up. I know what you're probably thinking, why even mention the word throw up? Well see this is the part of the story where we all went in the car and went to the doctor's office. When we arrived my parents were seen by the doctor right away. I had to wait in the waiting room with the receptionist and she talked to me for awhile and asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up. I told my dreams to her and she told me the same thing the casting director did. I then couldn't help but wonder will my shot as a performer happen for me and will my dad, along with my mom see any of the performances? These are things I asked myself and then I saw just my mom come out to take me back home without dad. I saw the bravery in her eyes because she always puts a brave face on for me when she doesn't want me to worry. We finally arrive home and I question her about why dad didn't come with us. Then I see mom coming to me and she tells me that the doctor wanted to run some tests and make sure that everything was fine. I knew that there was more she wasn't telling me but I decided to not push her. I could see she was already stressed and worried with other things and I decided to go and read a book.
