It's the day of my audition , I wake up my godmommy in the bed sleep next to me. I come out of my morning daze and look at te time . My auditions at 4:00 pm , and it's 8:00 am . I go downstairs grab a granola bar and run out te door. I had on yoga pants, my tee-sirt from 8th grade, and the latest Jordans.I go for a ten mile run. By time I get back I see my godmoter, Theresa, Stacey, and My aunt . What's going on I ask scared.Baby my godmother starts sit down she says. Ok I say, please don't tell me Josh is dead. No babe he's not. It's just that the state he's in , it's highly unlikely for him to come out of it. Tears are now running down my face. So he will never wake up. It's highly unlikely they all say. Ok I say calmly. And I go to my room and practice my routine. In my mind I'm wondering why I'm not freaking out. But I realze a smart woman once tod me when things happen for a reason. That woman was my beautiful radiant godmommy, who I love to pieces. I'm dancing to 7/11 by Beyonce, its an old song but I like it. I hit all my moves just like when Josh had rehearsed it with me. In my mind I'm repeating do it for Mommy, and for Josh. Thta's all I can think of. 4:00 came and my godmoter wakes me up from my nap she suggested I take. They all drive me to the studio. I almost open the door wen my godmother pulls me back in and holds me tight. And she says to me no matter what happens in  their your always be my little Alvin Ailey star.. I look at her and start crying she kisses my forehead , wipes my face and psues me out the door. I walk into the studio and see over a hundred people auditioning. At first I'm intimidated. But then I realize the reason I'm auditioning and go into let's do this mode.. I walk in introduce myself, and the music starts. Smack it in the air is what I hear. I start my routine and d even better than when I practiced with Josh. When the routines over, I look over at the judges, they look in awe. One says someone in  your caliber should be in Alvin Ailey from the time you could walk. Another says your talent girl, its being wasted on whatever else your doing instead of dancing. The last one says nothing. We will let you know thank you veyr much. I walk out feeling confident, and I get outside and see my family in the parking lot. Whats going on guys ? Nothing we are just truly proud of you. One thing my familys good for is spport. Which is why I love them
