Anyway.........She insisted that I go...of course I wanted to however I didn't have the funds, so she took me for my Bday...weeeeee
well, while I was there I ran into a few of my drum and dance students, and they have it in their minds that they are going to Sponsor me to take dance more lessons. Wow...... I am so blown away at this offer..... Wow... I feel very lucky, and excited. wow... Yet I still can't believe it... I have fans that love me!!!!!! I just want to say thanks to all the people who have inspired me and support me...Wow....
