Dad,
Laughing at my dreams isn't going to make the ones you think are better for me anymore appealing. It's just going to make me fight harder for mine. Seriously if I want to dance for the rest of my life then I will. I know I'll probably struggle but I'll be doing what I love to do. I'll be happy, school isn't for me. It never has been, in school what do I do? I dance, it isn't a hobby, nor is it something I'll grow out of. I've been dancing for 12 years of my life already, I don't know think it's something I'll grow out of. I want to make something out of it. I have a talent why can't you be proud of it. It's my passion something I live to do. I practice in my room everyday, stretch, practice to perfect turns and jumps but you wouldn't see that cause it doesn't matter to you. So you laughing at what I want to go out and do isn't making anything better, especially laughing at my face in front of our family that's just childish. I understand you want me to be a good role-model for my little brother but he gets to follow his dream and play basketball while I can't? That isn't fair. Just let me go out there and see if I can make it. Let me fail on my own don't be afraid to let me fly. I get it I'm your little girl and all but I'm ready to see what the world holds for me.
