i cannot believe all that's happened in the last few months.
i also can't believe that in a few months, i will have had this journal for 9 years.
i started this year wanting to leave the business. for the first time in my life, i had serious thoughts of leaving the business.
and then i booked a broadway show.
long story short: i had been auditioning for mary poppins since february 14 of 2008. i'd been in for them a lot. i'd say upwards of at least 10 times. and this time, it happened to work in my favor.
it's hard work. it hurts my body. and i love every second of it. i cannot believe, my dream of dancing on a broadway stage have come true.
when my parents came to see the show with my aunts and uncles, my mom told me how happy they were for HER. and how she did it! it wasn't until weeks later, when i went back home to ct and saw the house i grew up in, and reflected on all the years and sacrifices that my immigrant parents went through for me, that i understood. they moved here so their children could have a better life. and i see how they've evolved and how becuase of them, my brother and i have had incredible opportunities.
i am so thankful for my parents.
