My Dream

Talking about my personal dreams on a public blog in Mt. Vernon MO is kind of hard for me to do. I've never been an athlete, or had a publicly assimilated family with any semblance of immunity from it. I've had the same aspirations for ten years, and for ten years they've been misunderstood or frowned upon. I'm not gay, and I don't want to be a ballerina dancer. All I want is to choreograph and be successful in my own eyes. I've realized that the terms regarding a successful life in small town MO aren't going to work for. I've had to dance in spite of a community instead of for them and with their support, making me more determined, and the end result that much more rewarding.

  1. Right on, Nick. I think it's amazing you've stuck to it. People in small town communities can be narrow-minded when it comes to things like this. And I'm glad you're strong enough to put up with it. I've always thought it's about doing what you want and not care what everyone else thinks, because what's good and what's bad is in the eyes of the beholder. There's no set-in-stone way of measuring what is right and wrong. ♥

  2. So I really didn't understand half the words that you used, but other than that you are amazing! I think your dream to be a choreographer is awesome! I haven't ever been very good at math in high school so when people see that I want to teach it they laugh at me. So ya, I know how that goes. Just stick to your dream and show everyone that you can do it!! :)
    (P.S.--I think that it's totally awesome you want to do this.)
