So today is suppose to be the first day of the rest of my life. It's my college graduation. I graduated from the school of arts after fighting my father tooth and nail who still doesn't agree with my choice. My father is a stockbroker and my older sister Zoe whose is twenty-three followed in his footsteps. My older brother Trevor whose is twenty-five an a songwriter/actor, which my father didn't approve of either until he got his first big movie role. My mom is a housewife if you can call her that. She doesn't have to cook or clean because Daddy got her a maid. She mostly shop and mingle with the other housewives. But I have to say that she must be doing something right because they seem to still be in love after twenty-five years of marriage.

I wish I could just get a date with school and writing on a business proposal that my Dad will accept and help me and my cousin Sean get a dance studio.   Sean is twenty-four and he is an amazing dancer almost as good as me except I have one up on him I can sang a little also but my first love is dance. I just love the way music seems to hit my soul and put my body into motion to me there's no better feeling in the world.

So Lexy what's next my brother asks after we finish taking pictures and the rest of the family mingle with the other families. Trevor is so busy being a movie star he can't keep up with the family much lately. 

 Well me an Sean are rewriting a proposal for dad. He has turned down two already. I hope he going to give us money to get a studio.

Dad give out money! Keep wishing little sis. You know he going to make you earn it. That is true about dad he always taught us that we had to work for what we want.

Well that's funny to me because I don't see Ma working for nothing and she gets everything she wants.

Lexy my room was right beside our parents and she works for it behind closed doors trust me!

Oh my God please shut up! We surpose to be eating dinner after this. How am I going to eat with that burned into my brain.

With what burned into your brain my sister Zoey asks as she walks up to us.

Trevor blurts out that Ma a hooker that's how she gets whatever she wants from Dad.

Yeah, Ma do be putting it on Daddy says Zoe.

I'm begging them to stop they act like we not in public.

On time Ma was....Zoe starts to say. One time Ma was what says my mother as she walks up to us.

I look over and see Daddy pulling up with the car.

The car here I say as I speed walk to the car trying to get away from them. Zoe and Trevor follow behind with Ma as if they hadn't been just gossiping about her.

Later that night I go to my Dad's home office to talk to him about my busniess plan that he keeps turning down finding everything under the sun wrong with it. I hope he accepts this one because me and Sean are almost out of ideas on how to fix the things he keep coming up with that he say is wrong.

Hey Dad.

What's up Lexy? I didn't get to tell you today that I'm very proud of you even though this dance thing wasn't my first choice for you.  You are amazing at what you do!

Thanks Daddy that means alot to me.

So what you have there another business proposal you and Sean came up with.

Yes, we both worked hard on it and we was hoping you can look over it.

I want be able to look over it tonight. But the last two you'll gave me had major concerns and that's why I turned them down.

I know and we looked at your notes and listened to your advise and made the necessary changes it should be close to perfect.

Well good I'll look over it tomorrow and get back with you.

Thank's Daddy goodnight I say giving him a kiss on the cheek.

If he turns this one down I guess I'm going to have to take some tips from my mother and do some hooking because one way or another I'm going to get my own studio.
