All I am is a girl with a dream. I only have one known talent. Dance. I am a dork in my school, I am going into 8th grade, and I only have one friend. Sounds like the worst life when I add an over protective mother and a always working dad. I live in New York. Also known as "The Big Apple" or "The place where dreams come true". I live in a run down appartment with annoying neighbors. My dreams are probably never going to come true. Will they?
